Chapter Summaries

Saitama stopped Tatsumaki’s rampage by carrying her high above the wilderness, where she unleashed her full psychic power without affecting nearby cities. After realizing she could not overpower him, Tatsumaki explained her connection to the Heavenly Path organization and asked to confront Morgan William, leaving Saitama to investigate before deciding what to do.

• Tatsumaki recounted how her foster parents sold her to an organization that experimented on children, and how Blast rescued her three years later.
• Tatsumaki said the organization was called Heavenly Path and had eleven powerful psychics, prompting Saitama to take out his phone and offer to call Morgan William.

Morgan William tried to convince Tatsumaki that the Hero Association had no connection to the Heavenly Dao Organization by showing her a Devil Fruit and offering a live demonstration. Tatsumaki left agreeing to bring someone back in a few days, while Morgan William chose to let the Hero Association endure a little longer.

• Saitama sampled a golden fry and was overwhelmed by its flavor, while Madara Uchiha told him to keep his mind under control as he tried the food.
• Jiwei and Mata tasted the dishes, screamed with pleasure, and had their clothes burst apart, so attendants took them to change.

• Madara Uchiha unleashed his Senjutsu-empowered Perfect Susanoo, and Saitama shattered its upper half with a punch that also destroyed the mountain behind it.
