In the chaotic aftermath of the battle against the Monster Association, the surviving S-Class heroes attempt to make sense of the devastation and the seemingly godlike power of King. The prideful Atomic Samurai, seeking to gauge the "strongest man's" abilities, challenges him to slice an apple. When the terrified King inevitably fails, the swordsman misinterprets his ineptitude as a profound, untouchable skill. Meanwhile, the ever-literal Genos bluntly informs an official that Saitama will be taking up residence in the new headquarters, and a lone, weakened Black Sperm observes the absurdity, highlighting the comedic fallout as the world's most powerful heroes heap praise on a fraud.
