Summary

Atomic Samurai wades in aiming to end things fast, his blade moving so quickly that Rhino Wrestler only registers the cut moments before collapsing, scoring the swordsman a perfect hundred with his dying breath. The samurai moves on and notices Flashy Flash doing likewise, whose speed leaves Shadow Ring stunned. Superalloy Darkshine flattens monsters just by charging through them, Pig God devours one whole, and Puri-Puri Prisoner smashes another apart. Tatsumaki descends carrying what remains of Evil Eye, and when it stubbornly clings to shape, she erases it entirely.

Key Events

Overhead, Child Emperor slices Gyoro Gyoro's drone in two. The mastermind, already satisfied by what the fight revealed though wishing he had seen King in action, has worked something out. Its focus turns to a group of approaching figures, one of them irritated at being called away just as he was ready for carnage. The short black creature demands to know why Orochi, Nyan, a rotund monster, a scruffy man wearing a crown, and a grotesque beast have all been summoned together.
