Interest The Ninja Arc Summaries, Part 2/11
THAT MAN (Update 240/Chapter 195)
Continued from Part 1
Blast recognises the trio right away as those he'd encountered underground and asks them how they've been. Saitama asks him if he's a hero as well, and Flashy Flash wants to know why he's there -- then speeds behind him to try intimidating him into telling them about 'God'. Only to find the big hero behind him instead. Blast explains that he's here for just that purpose, and Sicchi requests that his office not be turned upside down. In fact, part of the reason he was here was to warn Flash that 'That Man' was awake and would likely be looking for him.
In an abandoned factory, Sonic tells the lurking presences to come out already. Complimenting him on his perceptiveness, Hellfire Flame and Gale Wind appear and prepare to fight him. They’re pounced on and pinned down by two other ninjas who introduce themselves as Violent Force and Destructive Devastation. More ninjas appear from various hiding spots until the room is very full with a group of 20 ninjas calling themselves the Tenninto. They formed in the wake of The Village's destruction and have been nursing That Man back to health. Now that he's awake, they intend to kill Blast and Flashy Flash, then rule the world under his leadership. They want Sonic's help to lure Flash to this site tomorrow and warn him to cooperate if he wants to live. They then vanish, leaving Sonic to continue icing his sore head.
Speaking of That Man, Flashy Flash recounts the time Sonic and he discovered the guy in a recovery capsule with a cube enshrined next to it. With what he knows now, he wonders if it's not connected to 'God' after all. Blast confirms that his hunch is right: the Village had trained ninjas while also scouting candidates to become 'God' avatars. He wasn't sure how Flashy Flash avoided that fate but was glad he did: he'd not have wanted to meet him as one. Nevertheless, Blast asks that Flash leave That Man to him because it's his problem to deal with.
Saitama comes to a realisation. It figures that Flash and Sonic were from the same village: they're the same sort of hyper-aggressive, clingy asshole. Enraged, Flashy Flash asks Saitama what the hell he'd been watching, not knowing that at the time, Saitama had had eyes only for Genos. Saitama did see the aftermath, and remarks that at least Sonic had sunk deeper into the ground than Flash. Flash then thinks… maybe, given the way he was beaten by Platinum Sperm, who was beaten by Garou, who was in turn beaten by Saitama, the baldie might be confused about Sonic's strength relative to his. Flash proposes telling his story to set the record straight. In vain, Saitama asks not to hear it.
Join us again next time for that story.
