Events of Chapter 195
In chapter 195 (reprinted), titled That Man , Flashy Flash, Saitama, and Manako met Blast at the Hero Association headquarters. During the meeting, they discussed "God"'s connection to the Ninja Village and the return of the village's founder. Blast warned Flash to avoid contact with "That Man." Meanwhile, the Tenninto approached Speed-o'-Sound Sonic and informed him of the return of the Ninja Village's founder. They plan to use Sonic to lure Flash into an ambush, with the goal of eliminating both Flash and Blast and taking over the world.
