Metal Bat faces Centichoro while Saitama remains occupied by the martial arts tournament in One-Punch Man. The publisher identifies the monster as a Dragon-level threat, so this continues the split between organized competition and outside danger. Read the preceding setup first, especially Metal Bat's protection assignment. The book's battle premise belongs to the heroes handling the emergency rather than to a clean progression through the tournament bracket.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
Centichoro turns Metal Bat's confrontation into a problem of scale. VIZ specifically says he struggles against the monster's enormous size, then is knocked into Garo's path. Those are successive pressures on the same fighter, not interchangeable evidence that the story has found a tougher villain. Saitama's tournament distraction gives the sequence its contrast: the hero whose presence could change the shape of a crisis is occupied elsewhere. This is continuation material for the split storyline, and the pressure on Metal Bat is its purchase argument. A tournament-only reading would miss the responsibility accumulating outside the venue.
