The action scene is intense! Metal Bat can’t one-punch the monster, so he has to land a ton of blows to take it down. As usual, Garou is hunting S-Class heroes. It then cuts to Saitama entering the tournament, before switching back to the fight. That creates a pause, but the episode ends by focusing entirely on the battle.

Metal Bat is an absolute badass. Him fighting city-level giant centipedes on babysitting duty is top S-Class energy. The more damage he takes, his Fighting Spirit just pumps him up to hit harder. That fight with Garou is pure hype.

Serious Shadow of the Colossus vibes with this one. Metal Bat is really cool, and I'm excited for the next episode after the cliffhanger! I hope we get more Saitama soon too. He's become a bit of side plot at the moment.

Great plot twist having a new enemy aside from monsters. Brilliant character build up as well.

Episode is slow but it shows the actual combat of s rank hero ! The back story and the storyline progression of present was connected perfectly . Loved the fight sequence of Metal Bat . 8/10

It's amusing and a bit sad of Garou having a mindset, from when he was young, that shaped him into who he is. But, it's not a typical villain quick backstory that usually arises from suffering. It was simply a misplaced sympathy, which I find twisted, but a fresh concept.

Introduction of Metal Bat’s fighting style. The scale of the threat at the end is massive.

This one’s kinda all over the place, Metal Bat brings that raw, stubborn energy and carries the action, while Saitama’s side is more chill and comedic. Pacing jumps a bit, but the intensity’s still there. Not the cleanest episode, but yeah, the fights make it worth it.

Nothing here. Just random discussions. Annoying. Why even bother? Absolute trash. Can't believe I wasted my time on this. Dumpster fire.

EPISODE CONTEXT

Coming off Garou's violent hero-hunting spree in episode 3, this installment pivots to show how the Hero Association's ranks are handling escalating monster activity on multiple fronts. Metal Bat's battles reinforce the season's core theme, that the hero world is under siege from all sides while Saitama remains disconnected from the real action. The episode also lays critical groundwork for the Super Fight tournament arc, which will become a central thread through the season's middle stretch.
