Previous Chapter Recap
The fight between Saitama and Garou continues on Jupiter’s Io, with Garou being gradually outmatched by the hero. Garou realizes that Saitama is copying his moves on purpose. Saitama mocks him for believing he could copy him as he is serious, and goads him into trying. A frustrated Garou realizes that even while replicating Saitama’s power, his next attack just hits even harder. Knowing that if this keeps up, Saitama will eventually be able to strike him hard enough to kill him, Garou opens a gateway and emerges with a straightforward punch fueled with his anger.
Saitama catches his fist but begins to feel something. With his clothes blown away and exposed to Io’s extremely cold atmosphere, Saitama launches a Serious Sneeze at Garou, who barely manages to move out of the way. The sneeze devastates Io’s surface and travels all the way to Jupiter itself, blowing the giant planet’s gaseous surface apart.
The recoil of the sneeze launches the two out of Io and into interplanetary space. Garou sees the Sun as they travel through space. With it in his vision, Garou tries looking around for the Earth and successfully catches sight of it, putting it in range of teleporting.
After landing a powerful punch on Saitama that generates a planet-sized explosion, Garou opens a portal to teleport back to Earth, being outside its atmosphere. Without warning, Saitama suddenly appears behind him and commends Garou’s ability to open hyperspace portals, shocking him. Saitama explains to a confused Garou that after developing a stomach ache from the cold, the light from the earlier explosion had caused him to fart, allowing him to reach the hyperspace gate in time.
