One Punch Man chapter 198, named Habit, started with Flash teaming up with Sonic to battle against members of the Heavenly Ninja Party. Gale Wind and Hellfire Flame were the first to attack the duo, following the instructions of other party members. However, Wind and Flame were dissatisfied with their roles as sacrificial pawns.

Despite being outnumbered, Sonic and Flash had valuable intel that gave them the advantage in this battle. Coming from the same village, they were well-prepared for the tactics of the Heavenly Ninja Party. In this scenario, they knew that the shinobis would prioritize targeting the weaker member. Although Sonic anticipated the focus to be on Flash, he was stunned when the shinobis launched a coordinated attack on him.
Fight intensifies, Flash beats Flame and Wind once again
Flashy Flash skillfully evaded Hellfire Flame and Gale Wind's Joro Spider Curtain Gallows, a deadly trap of razor-sharp strands coated with poison. Having bested them once before during the Monsters Association arc, the cunning S-class hero proved to be too elusive for the villainous duo.
Flash rushed to Sonic's aid as he was being bombarded from all directions. Believing that he needed help due to his perceived inferiority to Flash, Sonic's anger boiled over, evident in One Punch Man chapter 198 as he grappled with his own ego.

Sonic and Flash fought in flawless unison, leaving the members of the Heavenly Ninja Party astonished. In their village, they were taught to depend only on themselves and speaking to others meant certain death.
With skill, Flash bound Flame and Wind with the Joro Spider Curtain Gallows, but hesitated to deliver a final blow. Instead, he cautioned them to remain still as any movement could lead to their demise from the taut strings.

Throughout the story, Flash has been seeking a sample of the monsters in order to analyze them and discover a way to reverse the transformation of humans into monsters. This is also the reason why the S-Class hero has been on the lookout for Manako in the preceding chapters. The members of the Heavenly Ninja Party fail to comprehend Flash's motivations. The chapter concludes with Flash expressing, "you idiots still don't realize."
