• Tanktop Girl chased a lemon Monster through the streets after its juice got in her eyes, and Baicang defeated it with a laser and wiped her tears away.

Baicang and Tatsumaki raced toward the mountains, where they encountered a tribe of giant monkeys preparing to raid humans for cola. After Baicang destroyed the monkeys, Tatsumaki mistook his attempt to wait for her as mockery, but his explanation and excessive praise calmed her.

• Baicang praised Tatsumaki’s power and beauty until she blushed and told him to stop.

Its visions stirred her anger before showing her a memory of Baicang rescuing her from the laboratory, leaving her caught between painful memories and a moment of comfort.

• Baicang stopped his punch just short of breaking Tatsumaki’s final barrier and tried to concede, but Tatsumaki refused to let him leave and attacked again.
