Spoiler Summary [Click to show or hide]:

Garou, battered and bloodied, kneels while his face is smoking and his body is reeling from the…

…aftermath of Saitama’s devastating blow.

A group of heroes observe the fallen warrior, still struggling to rise after the overwhelming force of Saitama’s punch. Meanwhile, Saitama hands over Genos’s core, igniting a brilliant glow as Genos connects it to himself.

With eyes and mouth aglow, Genos witnesses a recording of Saitama’s epic battle against Awakened Cosmic Garou on Jupiter’s moon.

The core continues to illuminate, delving deep into Genos’s memories.

Surprised, Saitama questions Genos, who confirms the core’s authenticity and recalls the moment Garou ripped it out.

Genos speculates that Saitama and the core may have come from the future, prompting Saitama’s boredom with the lengthy explanation.

In a rare moment of acknowledgment, Saitama taps Genos’s shoulder, acknowledging his survival. Genos, in awe of Saitama’s interdimensional heroics, expresses admiration as Saitama stands firm amidst the chaos.

Their exchange draws a smile from Genos, catching Saitama’s notice. Genos commends Saitama for his impeccable timing.

As Saitama ponders his timely arrival, his gaze falls upon Tareo, sprawled on the ground.

Tareo, spurred by a mysterious voice, rises to his feet. He also sees Garou’s dissipating form and rushes towards him. However, all that remains is a cloud of dust, leaving him bewildered. He thinks it was only a dream.

Amidst the confusion, heroes once bested by Garou now exact their vengeance upon him.

Stripped by his divine powers, Garou struggles to comprehend the event and the single punch that defeats him. Metal Bat intervenes to halt the onslaught, while Amai Mask seeks to administer swift justice.

Tareo suddenly appears and halts the impending violence, leaving the heroes stunned.

Sweet Mask reassures Tareo while the heroes debate Garou’s fate, apprehensive of King’s looming presence. Overwhelmed by fear, the heroes reluctantly yield, clearing a path for King’s approach.

King’s gaze falls upon Tareo, whose actions spark a wave of memories.

Amidst the turmoil, Saitama’s gratitude towards Garou emerges, evoking a rare moment of unity among the heroes. Garou, seizing the opportunity, vanishes into the distance, leaving the heroes in disbelief.

As the heroes grapple with Garou’s escape, Saitama walks away while carrying Genos.

Metal Knight also appears to decontaminate the radiation in the area.
