One-Punch Man Episode 24: Cleaning Up the Disciple`s Mess

Bang confronts Garou and quickly overpowers him, showing that the master’s technique and strength far outclass the disciple’s. Garou fights back with everything he has, but he is soon pushed into a desperate struggle as Bang beats him down and leaves him fearing death.

As the fight continues, Garou is shown flashes of his past: he remembers being a child who loved playing hero games, only to be mocked and blamed by the others, which helped shape his resentment toward heroes. Even after recalling those memories, he remains defiant and keeps fighting.

When Garou tries to use Death Gatling’s body as a shield, Bomb intervenes and kicks him away. At that moment, Phoenix Man appears from above, recognizing that Garou must survive if he is to return to Orochi. Phoenix Man scatters the heroes with his wings, grabs Garou, and flies off with him.

Genos tries to shoot them down, but Phoenix Man summons **Elder Centipede**, a gigantic monster that erupts from the ground and blocks Genos’s attack. The monster’s appearance throws the battlefield into chaos and nearly traps the heroes in a widening chasm. Phoenix Man states that only a handful of top heroes could hope to defeat it.

Genos attacks the centipede with powerful blasts, and Bang joins Bomb in combining their martial arts into a devastating joint technique. Even so, Elder Centipede withstands the assault and sheds its damaged shell, emerging even stronger. The heroes continue fighting it, but its durability makes it clear that normal attacks are not enough.

When Elder Centipede prepares another charge, King calls out and draws its attention by making it believe Blast is nearby. The monster rushes toward him, and Saitama arrives at the last moment. Saitama then destroys Elder Centipede with a single **Serious Punch**, ending the battle instantly.
