However , his ability have become increasingly recognise in the series , withthe top S - Class hero , Blast , noting his withering potential drop despite his otherwise dull and gentle role . One central power Saitama has is also shared by No . 1 hero Blast inOne - Punch Man , advert to their mutual abilities to either go through or manipulate portal between dimensions .
One - Punch Manlikes to play up how overpowered Saitama is , while also showing his overwhelming ennui in the face of being so powerful that he ca n’t find a challenge to motivate him . In the case of the Ninjas Arc , Saitama is missing , knowing Blast is on the case , opting rather to go for udon noodles , surefooted that his Hero Association confrere can manage the latest God - grade scourge .
Still , it ’s reassuring to cognize that , if the moment calls for Saitama to join the conflict against Empty Void inOne - Punch Man , previous chapters have hinted at how he can handle this proportion - hopping baddie .
Saitama and Blast Can Both Interact With Portals in One-Punch Man
Both Heroes Are Natural Counters to Latest Villain
Empty Void is a terrific opposition for most Hero inOne - Punch Man , able to travel between dimensions and , using God ’s powers , set on them withthe devastating Dimension Slash , butBlast can make these same portals , and Saitama can interact with them freely . While Blast has demonstrated this big businessman recently , fans may recall previous illustration in the Monster Association Arc , let in Saitama ’s competitiveness with Garou , where he was able to punch through world , come after Garou through portals , or outright grab portals and even recoil them away like inOne - poke Manchapter # 165 .
What this mean has yet to be determined , asEmpty Void certify a greater understanding of this portal exponent than Garou , especially with the Dimension Slash . blow is able to mitigate this threat while keep up with the elusive villain , land heavy blows against him , but it ’s unclear just how far God ’s power go in boosting Void as a monsterized individual , includingthe ability to mask himself and using God ’s cubes to trance others .
Saitama’s Absence May Not Be as Felt in One-Punch Man

Another impressive feature of Yusuke Murata ’s redrawnOne - Punch Manchapters is that , despite Void ’s portal - hopping power pose an ominous scourge , Blast has now join the fray in Saitama ’s absence , adding his experience as as a former ally of Empty Void . With the extra aid of S - Class hero Flash andSaitama ’s self - predicate Sonic , they make a formidable fighting force out whose clash with Void , even if not of necessity the definitive fight , is one the readers will savor .
Saitama is obviously pick apart as overpowered in the serial but in this case , he ’s intelligibly fit out for the fight in more way than simply overwhelming strength and stop number .
However , if Saitama winds up being need to fight Void , or the mysterious villain God , it ’s effective to know the serial publication now has a precedent for how he can interact with their portal - based powers inOne - Punch Man . Saitama is obviously criticized as overpowered in the series , which is partially the point of his case , but in this suit , he ’s intelligibly outfit for the fight in more ways than but overwhelming strength and stop number . Still , with tidings ofOne - Punch Man’slatest long hiatus , it ’ll be fun to see what happens next in the Ninjas Arc now that Blast joins the fight against Void .
