One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 10 offers a thrilling ride for the Heroes as they are thrown into a blender of horror, repeatedly regrowing into new terror and mental warfare at the hands of the enemy. For 30 minutes, Zombie Man is continually put to death by Pure Blood until Zombie Man exhausts Pure Blood through mental fatigue.

Zombie Man dies two hundred times before claiming victory in One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 10. The battle was fought as much mentally as it was physically because Pure Blood is a vampire with the ability to regenerate his body like a superhero who the government has given experimental immortality.

The undying hero finally demonstrates his unique combat style against Pure Blood. Most of the S-Class Fighters hit-and-pound with sheer power and not much else, but Zombie Man operates differently; he is more like a spy. He also regenerates back to full health from even the most lethal injury (including having his brain destroyed).

The fight goes on for thirty minutes straight in One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 10. Throughout that time, Pure Blood can "kill" Zombie Man nearly 200 times, until he gets too tired to keep going anymore. This is a testament to the way Zombie Man fights.

Dr. Genus previously revealed that Zombie Man originated from experimental immortality research. He was the only person to successfully test and willfully take advantage of that research. His regenerative abilities are far more extensive than any normal strange.


Multiple Fronts Across the Battlefield

One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 10 shifts focus to Pig God encountering Big Eater, another demon-level threat. Their confrontation was not long after using his signature technique, eating monsters whole, no matter their size. This shows Pig God why he is classified as an S-Class hero despite the way he chooses to fight.

Meanwhile, Atomic Samurai's disciples, Iaian, Okamaitachi, and Bushidrill have to deal with Narinki's private security team, who have become hostile due to being mind-controlled. Sweet Mask picks up where his fellow swordsmen left off and will confront the security team so that they can continue deeper into the base.


Amai Mask's Ruthless Pragmatism in One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 10

The A-Class hero shocks observers with his brutal efficiency. Instead of trying to save Waganma, Amai Mask just mops up Narinki's entire crew with one giant punch. He says it had to do with what he was focusing on, the hostages, rather than the controlled mercenaries.

This sequence highlights Amai Mask's departure from typical hero morality. Instead of trying to find a way to resolve the situation without killing anyone, he simply uses brute force. The decision sparks questions about heroic ideals versus mission effectiveness during crises.

Following this victory, Amai Mask eliminates Super S, the monster responsible for the mind control. Her relatively weak combat abilities outside of mental manipulation make her vulnerable once exposed. One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 10 establishes that Amai Mask is willing to cross boundaries that other heroes avoid.


Atomic Samurai Enters the Fray

The Legendary Sword Master shows how great he is by quickly defeating multiple demon-level threats. When he fights G5, one of the robots from the secretive Organization, we get to see just how far apart top-tier heroes are from lesser fighters. Atomic Samurai slaughters G5's outer shell within a matter of seconds.

This incident also connects to Genos's previous fight against G4, where Genos discovered that there were compacted backup systems below G4's exterior armor of G4. Since G5 has survived, it can be concluded that the Organization has the same kind of resources or power as the Monster Association.


Black Sperm Makes His Move

One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 10 concludes with Black Sperm, a dragon-level executive, pursuing the injured hero Tareo. Fortunately, Atomic Samurai stops this monster from landing a deadly blow on him. With this, it becomes obvious that they will soon face off against each other. This is the first confrontation we have seen this season that features an S-Class hero against one of the executives from the Monster Association.

Black Sperm poses one of the most serious threats the heroes have ever faced because of his incredible strength. Atomic Samurai now has the chance to put his swordsmanship to the ultimate test against a foe who has unknown powers, but clearly has the potential to be an extremely dangerous opponent.

The episode packs numerous chapters into rapid succession, advancing multiple storylines simultaneously. One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 10 maintains momentum by showcasing various heroes overcoming preliminary obstacles before the true battles begin.
