Garou, Saitama, Genos, Tareo, and Blast have all been the focus of One-Punch Man’s most recent chapters, which have been loaded with astonishing events. In the Monster Association arc, villains and heroes battled it out until Garou was able to rule them all. The events of Chapter 166, which shake the fundamental foundations of the One-Punch Man universe, are connected to this development. The death of Saitama’s cyborg student, Blast, was highlighted in Chapter 166, which disclosed some information about the S-Class Hero. It’s true that Garou is evolving into “Absolute Evil,” but is it all worth it?
S-Class Hero Blast’s abilities
It had been a long time coming, but Blast, the number one S-Class Hero, finally had his abilities exposed in chapter 166. The radiation emitted by Garou in Chapter 166 caused the downfall of the human population surrounding him, as depicted in the chapter. Even Mitsuki, a B-Class Hero, was made powerless by Garou’s radiation, proving that Garou’s aura is extremely potent. As a result of this, Blast appears via a dimensional vortex. When he shows from out of nowhere, he confirms Bang’s suspicions that Garou was being used by God. The blast also said that Garou’s strength was hazardous to all life on Earth, and he wasn’t wrong.
He also questioned Garou about his stated purpose as the Hero Killer, which was to wipe out all life on Earth. As a result, Garou rejected Blast’s suggestion of transporting him to another realm and maniacally proclaimed his principles about becoming Absolute Evil—an creature that will lead mankind to evolve by feeling fear—despite the fact that Blast had recommended it. Another clue that Garou had completely lost track of his goals was shown in the manga’s chapter 166 panels, which showed Tareo having collapsed from exhaustion.
As a result of Blast’s revelation of his abilities, Garou was forced to flee the planet. In the end, Blast’s scheme backfires since Garou was able to copy his actions and attack him as a result. By transferring them to another realm, Blast is able to thwart his plan. As a result of this turn of events, the series’ most startling fatality occurs.
Is Genos Really Gone?
He is Saitama’s pupil and a member of the S-Class Cyborg Hero team in the One Punch Man series. After admiring Saitama, the Cyborg Hero sought out the mighty B-Class Hero’s instruction. Garou’s actions appear to have ended the life of the Hero, though. Genos was previously beheaded in the Monster Association storyline as a result of his own overexertion. But Genos still hurled himself at Garou despite the radiation’s effect on him being untouched by his Cyborg nature. Genos’ desire to stop Garou with everything he had, despite his lost limbs, showed how dedicated he is to the cause of the hero.
To no avail: Garou dragged Genos around like a rag doll while opposing the effects of Blast’s strength, so Genos could do nothing but waste his time and energy. Garou comes up with a horrible scheme based on Saitama’s real abilities at this time. B-Class Hero, he hoped, would be defeated by copying Saitama’s powers at their peak. However, there was a minor problem Garou had to overcome: Saitama had never fully exposed his powers. Garou made the decision to kill himself in order to overcome this tiny setback and unleash his full potential.
Garou’s hands slammed into Genos’s chest seconds later, igniting a flurry of red liquid that covered the ground and everyone in its path. It would be the most startling death in the series if Genos were to die because no one saw it coming. As a result of this evolution, Saitama’s actual strength will be revealed.
A showdown between Cosmic Garou and Saitama in the championship
As a result of Genos’s death, Saitama appeared on the battlefield with blood streaming down his face. As a result, Saitama begins to reflect on a discussion he had with Genos in the past. Genos had congratulated him in the past for his punctuality, but Saitama had dismissed the compliment, claiming that he was never on time for anything important. In the following panel, a bloodied Saitama stares down the barrel of a gun towards the camera.
As he executes the following technique, Killer Move; Serious Series – Serious Punch, Saitama finally gets serious in a fight for the first time. Garou’s approach is working thus far since Saitama has shown enough of his genuine abilities for Garou to duplicate. Garou then uses the move Mode: Saitama to immediately copy Saitama’s moves. As the two prepare to engage in hand-to-hand combat, Blast becomes visibly alarmed and declares that their clash will break the Earth. There is no way to anticipate what will happen in the upcoming chapter of the One-Punch Man manga, but we can be sure that it will feature one of the series’ most epic bouts, including Saitama and the Cosmic Awakened Garou.
