• Josen answered his ringing phone and discovered that Master Bang was calling.

Josen learned that Bang and Bomb had been training Garou with daily beatings and that Bang had made him a C-Class Hero, Water Wolf Hero. Garou’s rising popularity and workload led to the trouble Bang asked Josen to handle, though the chapter ended before Bang explained the specific problem.

After Garou survived Homeless Emperor’s attack long enough to punch him, Josen decided not to pursue the missing boy and instead sent Genos to train with Bang. The chapter left Genos reluctantly departing Saitama’s apartment for Bang’s dojo, weighed down by Josen’s power suppressor.

• Garou sprang up after Homeless Emperor mistook his twitch for a corpse’s muscle spasm, punched him in the face, and then collapsed into unconsciousness.
