The anomaly due to the chiral fermions on the world-volume of the SO(32) five-brane is calculated. It is shown that this contribution has the correct structure for it to be cancelled by the variation of the classical world-volume action. The cancellation mechanism requires a Green-Schwarz-like term in the classical action. The result confirms the field content of the SO(32) five-brane proposed by Witten.

Non-supersymmetric branes and discrete topological terms
A direct computation from the tentative NS5-brane spectrum gives the opposite Z3 topological term (1/3 vs 2/3) from Tachikawa-Zhang, so the spectrum or the inflow interpretation must change.

Anomaly Inflow and Gauge Group Topology in the 10d Sugimoto String Theory
Anomaly inflow on Sugimoto model branes supports the conclusion that the 10d gauge group is Sp(16)/Z2, and the same inflow matching rules out most alternative chiral spectra.
