In the latest chapter, we see Garou coming across Saitama standing near the seashore. He tries to challenge Saitama but he shooks him off saying he doesn’t see Garou ass a monster after he helped beat the centipede monster and is currently in no mood for a fight and is currently is so angered that he is considering destroying the planet.
At that moment Garou realises that the person standing in front of him is the same bald guy who he has come across multiple times in past and was completely obliterated every time.

The One Punch Man manga by ONE and Yusuke Murata is published in Shueisha’s Tonori no Young Magazine which is released on weekly basis every Saturday. However, the OPM manga has a very unusual release schedule and the author is allowed to publish the chapter whenever he wishes. In most cases, the new chapters are released on the first Saturday of the month or the last Saturday of the month.

He sees Manako trying to wake up a incapacitated Flashy Flash, and mistakes it for an attack. However, before he can strike the monster, his punch gets by the aircraft carrier crashing in between them, knocking both sweet mask and Metal Bat as well as Flashy Flash away.
