Chapter Summaries

Blast finished his business with the Hero Association and returned to another dimension, while Meikyō moved into the new Hero Apartments and Fubuki brought him a serum replicated by Dr. Genos. Meikyō and Fubuki arrived at Dr. Genos's relocated underground laboratory in Q City to test it.

• Blast confirmed the disaster was related to God, reviewed the monster-to-human experiment and intelligence on the Ninja King, then fought Meikyō before returning to another dimension.
• Meikyō moved into Room 105 of the Hero Apartments, where Saitama, King-san, Genos, and three A-rank heroes gathered; Genos chose Room 103 before Rhythm Heaven moved to Room 106.
• Fubuki visited Meikyō and said she had obtained a serum from the Monster Association battle that Dr. Genos had successfully replicated.
• Fubuki said the serum might let her maintain White Dwarf Class gravity training, and Meikyō teleported with her to Dr. Genos's laboratory.
• The chapter revealed that Dr. Genos had relocated the Evolution Group headquarters and its valuable equipment to Q City, where the group had expanded beyond its takoyaki business.

Genus offered Fubuki a safer drug that could gradually increase her Psychic Power, and she chose to take it despite its limits. After Genus and his subordinates left Meikyō alone with her, their awkward conversation turned to the teapot.

• Meikyō visited Genus's laboratory with Fubuki and learned from Armored Gorilla that Mosquito Girl and he had received upgrades that brought them near Dragon-level strength.
• Psychic Slug No. 2 bragged about his psychic abilities, and Genus presented his improved drug for boosting Psychic Power with fewer side effects than Psykos's formula.
• Genus explained that the drug could raise Fubuki's strength toward the peak of Dragon-level but would make breaking her limiter harder.
• Fubuki accepted a vial, saying she wanted to keep striving to catch up with Tatsumaki and Meikyō.
• Genus left Meikyō and Fubuki alone, and the two nervously drank tea and made awkward small talk about the teapot.

Meikyō and Fubuki trained together in Genus's gravity room, and Fubuki's exhausting session was followed by a night and morning of intimacy with Meikyō. By the afternoon, they joined Genus to test how much Fubuki's Psychic Power had improved.

• Genus ended Meikyō and Fubuki's awkward conversation and started their gravity training session, with Fubuki tasked with sustaining White Dwarf Class gravity for over two and a half hours.
• Fubuki sustained the gravity for two hours and forty-seven minutes while Meikyō trained under the increased weight and absorbed vitality through Ama-no-Ohabari.

• Genus tested Fubuki and Meikyō, calculated that their training would improve with the drug, and arranged their dosing schedule around the gravity room.
• Meikyō left Q City with Fubuki, reflected on his new spatial abilities and his chances against Kaguya, and concluded he needed stronger techniques.
• NEO Association staff member Mao invited Meikyō to join her organization, but he showed no interest and Fubuki interrupted their conversation to reclaim her date with him.
• Meikyō and Fubuki continued their peaceful routine, while Meikyō focused on gravity training and combining his abilities to develop new techniques.
• Meikyō explained to Saitama why he needed to improve, but Saitama said martial arts and technique development were beyond his understanding.

Meikyō brought Saitama to the moon to help develop a new attack, and discovered that their experiments could bend space and make a slash cross distance. Their training ended when Genus alerted Meikyō that a rare Solar Storm was about to begin and urged him to study it.

• Meikyō persuaded Saitama to help him develop a new move by promising him a place at the next day's barbecue party.
• Saitama handled Meikyō's Teleportation Circle and its effects in ways that astonished him, while Meikyō's attempt to examine Saitama with the Mirror God Eye caused his eyes to bleed and forced him to seal away the memories.
• Meikyō and Saitama traveled to the moon, communicated telepathically, and began testing a spatially enhanced slash.
• Meikyō found that his slash shortened the spatial distance to its target, and he considered developing it into an attack that could cross any distance.
• Genus contacted Meikyō and told him a seven-hour Solar Storm was expected to erupt within an hour, suggesting he analyze it with his abilities.

Meikyō took Saitama to Mercury to watch a solar storm, after Saitama’s jump damaged the Moon and alarmed scientists on Earth. As the storm began, the two watched the Sun’s repeated eruptions from behind Meikyō’s Spatial Barrier, and Meikyō’s Rinnegan began to bleed.

• Meikyō asked Dr. Genos to find the best place in the Solar System to observe a solar storm, and Dr. Genos identified Mercury as the closest suitable location.
• Meikyō persuaded Saitama to carry him to Mercury, and their landing left a huge crater and shifted the Moon’s axial tilt, prompting Dr. Kusuno to explain the damage to shocked scientists.
• Meikyō and Saitama arrived on Mercury, where Saitama’s landing caused another impact crater and destroyed his clothes.
• Meikyō set up a Spatial Barrier and explained that a solar storm would begin soon, while Saitama wondered whether it might awaken special powers.
• The solar storm erupted in repeated bursts of plasma and charged particles, leaving Meikyō and Saitama transfixed as blood began to flow from Meikyō’s Rinnegan.

• Tatsumaki, Fubuki, Genos, Saitama, and Meikyō attended a barbecue, where Meikyō said he would wait and see before choosing between the Hero Association and the Neo Organization.
• Meikyō developed a Solar Storm technique from Sun Breathing, but its electromagnetic radiation caused a blackout, so he teleported to Mercury to continue experimenting.

• Itachi told Shisui that his father, Meikyō, and the Fourth Hokage knew of his mission, then explained that Madara had unsealed a powerful Uchiha woman named Uchiha Hikari.
• Itachi said Uchiha Hikari trusted and depended on Madara, and Shisui asked what kind of life she had lived.

Uchiha Itachi revealed Madara’s plans and the path to obtaining the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, then used Tsukuyomi to spend three final days with Uchiha Shisui. As Itachi’s cursed mark began killing him, Shisui prepared to carry on his wishes and awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

• Uchiha Itachi told Uchiha Shisui that Madara planned to capture the Nine-Tails, with the Gold and Silver Brothers’ corpses as a backup plan.

• Uchiha Itachi’s Tsukuyomi ended, and he asked Uchiha Shisui to dress him in Konoha ninja attire before he died from Madara’s cursed mark.
• Uchiha Shisui watched his Three-Tomoe Sharingan transform into the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Shisui returned Itachi’s ashes and Mangekyō Sharingan to the Uchiha Clan, revealing that Itachi had died helping Konoha oppose Madara. After Fugaku learned the truth and Sasuke’s grief caused his Sharingan to evolve, Meikyō teleported to Root’s base and faced questions from Orochimaru about his new powers.

• Shisui told Kakashi and Asuma that Itachi had been killed by Madara and had sacrificed himself to strengthen Konoha’s side.
• Shisui delivered Itachi’s ashes, belongings, and Mangekyō Sharingan to Fugaku, and explained Itachi’s final wishes and the plan to create an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
• Sasuke’s grief pushed his Sharingan to Double Comma Sharingan, so Shisui knocked him unconscious to prevent his body from being overwhelmed.
• Fugaku asked Shisui to recount Itachi’s final encounter, while Shisui confirmed that he had awakened Mangekyō Sharingan.

• Meikyō showed Orochimaru his Rinnegan, and Orochimaru eagerly accepted a sample of Meikyō’s ocular cells for research.
• Orochimaru showed Meikyō Unit-01, a 267-meter war puppet built with replaceable, summoning-sealed sections to withstand damage.

• Meikyō named the puppet Unit-01, and Orochimaru described plans to power and operate it with a Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, most likely Nohara Rin.
• A Root ninja delivered a top-secret summons from the Fourth Hokage, and Meikyō called Uchiha Itachi a self-righteous brat after reading the report.

Konoha’s leaders planned for the threats posed by Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Hikari, while Meikyō revealed his Rinnegan and considered research that might strengthen their forces. Dan Katō then appointed Meikyō as the Fifth Hokage, but Meikyō objected because he did not want the office’s workload.

• The next day, Shisui and Fugaku began serving as research subjects at Konoha’s First Scientific Research Institute, where Tsunade praised Meikyō’s biological science skills.

Meikyō and the Konoha researchers prepared eye transplants to help Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shisui obtain Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, using Meikyō’s unusual ocular power to improve the odds. Meanwhile, Uchiha Madara advanced plans to gather the Tailed Beasts and strengthen his forces for a confrontation with Konoha.

• Meikyō explained his research abilities to Tsunade and Orochimaru, while Genus reported that Fugaku and Itachi had a 94.5–96.7 percent chance of ocular-power fusion and Shisui and Kagami had a 73–79 percent chance.
• Meikyō arranged for Yakushi Nonō to transplant Itachi’s Mangekyō Sharingan into Fugaku, and Tobirama Senju proposed using Meikyō’s ocular power to improve Shisui’s compatibility with Kagami’s eyes.

• Madara ordered the Akatsuki to prepare diversions, have Uchiha Hikari mark their forces with Yachihoko, and transplant Hashirama Cells into her while warning her not to copy Meikyō’s Rinnegan.

Meikyō planned to copy the remaining elemental Kekkei Genkai, but Uchiha Yu mistook his visit to see Haku as romantic interest and revealed that he had sent marriage proposals to Pakura and Mei Terumī. Pakura and Mei considered the political implications while Meikyō watched Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shisui awaken their Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, and both men prepared to ask him for something.

• Meikyō analyzed the elemental combinations behind Kekkei Genkai and listed ways to obtain or develop the remaining bloodlines needed for his Bloodline Net.

Meikyō faced Minato, Fugaku, and Shisui in battle, where Shisui revealed a dojutsu that drastically slowed time but exhausted him before he could reach Meikyō. After the fight, Meikyō discussed the limits of his strength and admitted that even the Sage of Six Paths might be difficult for him to defeat.

• Shisui asked Fugaku to create an opening so he could use his battlefield-control dojutsu, and Fugaku attacked Meikyō with an Amaterasu-infused sword technique while Minato and Kushina joined the assault.
• Meikyō countered Fugaku and Minato’s attacks, and their clash destroyed the upper half of the Senju Susanoo Great Buddha before Fugaku used Flying Thunder God to withdraw with Minato and the Golden Nine-Tails.
• Shisui activated Water World, slowing time around Meikyō, but Meikyō escaped using a spatial barrier and reappeared beside Fugaku, Minato, and Kushina.

Meikyō struggled with the Hokage’s workload, then delegated routine paperwork to a Wood Clone so he could spend two months relaxing in the One-Punch Man World. He later joined Fubuki for Black Hole Class gravity training, where the chapter left him adapting to the extreme pressure and beginning his workout.
