Psykos drinks a mysterious potion to fight Tatsumaki, and after letting out a loud scream, declares that she is now much stronger than “Gyoro Gyoro”.

Garou fights Superalloy Darkshine, but is overpowered and knocked back. After a battle with the monster king Orochi, he regains consciousness and questions Darkshin’s way of thinking, as well as the entire society of heroes. Darkshine unleashes a devastating charge that penetrates Garou’s guard with ease and sends him through several layers of Monster Association headquarters.
