Saitama shrugged. "He's all yours. I'm going home. Genos, did you record dinner?"
The Master's fessée had landed. And for the first time, Garou felt clean.
Garou stared at the note for a long time. The 'Spanking' had not broken his body. Saitama had done that. But Bang had broken the curse. The horns were gone. The red eyes were gone. In the reflection of the window, he saw only a tired young man with a stupid haircut. One Punch-Man S2 12 VOSTFR- La fessee du maitre
Garou sobbed in the dream. The anger, the carefully constructed philosophy of "absolute evil," crumbled like dry clay. He had wanted to be the hero that monsters feared. But all he had become was a bully that children ran from. Saitama had shown him the absurdity of his power. Bang was showing him the tragedy of his soul.
"Fessée du Maître," Bang had called it. The Master's Spanking. Saitama shrugged
Bang did not strike Garou. He did not need to. Instead, he closed his eyes and pressed his thumb against the center of Garou's brow. To the onlookers, it looked like a gentle touch. But inside Garou's unconscious mind, it was an explosion.
Saitama stood over him, his expression as placid as a still pond. For him, the fight had been less a battle and more an inconvenience—an itch scratched. He sighed, more from boredom than exertion. Genos, did you record dinner
Behind Saitama, the remaining heroes—Genos, Bomb, and the battered remnants of the Hero Association's strike force—watched in a silence that was part awe, part existential dread. Bang, the silver-fanged master of the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, approached slowly. His eyes, usually sharp and judging, were soft. He looked at Garou not as a monster, but as the wayward student he had failed.
Saitama turned his bald head. "He wasn't a monster. Just a guy playing dress-up and throwing a tantrum."
Garou found himself back in the dojo. Not the battlefield, not the forest, but the polished wooden floor of Bang's old school. He was seventeen again, arrogant, his knuckles white as he gripped a wooden staff.
