One Punch Man chapter 170: A quick recap

Largely focused on Garou and Silver Fang, the chapter began with the former Hero Hunter lecturing a random person about his sense of justice and how it is skewed in the current society.

However, it was later revealed that Silver Fang had brought Garou to the police station to apologize to the officer for the dine and dash incident that took place in chapter 87. Garou and Silver Fang were seen taking a stroll and the master was happy to be with Garou.

He said that he was responsible for Garou’s actions and had to lead by setting an example. Soon, the student presented an idea that would allow him to have an awakening without the monsterization process. He wanted to fight against some of the top S class heroes, including Saitama. Bang later told Garou that he was getting ahead of himself for assuming that he’d be able to beat his master. Bang also mentioned that he felt much better after Metal Knight did some maintenance on him.

Garou asked Bang about Tareo, and the panel transitioned to him standing up to his bullies. The panel also depicted how he looked up to Garou and thought of him as a hero. Waganma invited Tareo home to play video games. The next important scene was a particular conversation that was taking place between Sekingar and Sitch at the Heroes Association HQ. Sitch informed Sekingar that Bang would no longer work with the Heroes Association and handed over his resignation papers.

This panel in One Punch Man chapter 170 was important because it also announced that Garou would be his successor and would eventually join the association. The organization needed to bolster its forces in preparation for the “The Great Prophecy” which would end all of humanity if not dealt with.

The scene then transitioned back to Garou and Bang, who were having a casual conversation about idols they were interested in.
