Summary
The power of God is channeled by the Empty Void, posing a deadly threat to Saitama in One-Punch Man. God's power can ignore the laws of physics, including space, energy, and size. Blast is the only character confirmed to be able to stop the Void's new power in the series.
Warning: Spoilers for the redrawn One-Punch Man Chapter #195 (JP)Man one punch has introduced villains with remarkable strength and durability, but no character holds as much mystery and deadly power as God in the series. This entity has interfered in many story arcs, including giving Garou his infamous powers in the Monster Association Arc. God's power has yet to be fully explored in the series, but now Blast has offered an explanation that will give fans a better understanding of this mysterious creature's abilities.
In the latest redrawn chapters of One-Punch Man, the Empty Void attacks the Hero Association's Headquarters, causing catastrophic damage. Blast explains that this “Space Slash” is the result of the power the Empty Void borrowed from God, as they can ignore distance, energy and size.
Saitama has always faced off against the most dangerous threats, but Void is simultaneously channeling the power of God and his own corrupted abilities in One-Punch Man. Saitama, Blast and the Hero Association must see if they can overcome the power of God himself.
God's Power in One-Punch Man Ignores the Laws of Physics
God's influence from another dimension knows no bounds
It's hard to imagine a threat topping the Garou in the Monster Association, but God's power is more fully explored in the extended redraw pages of One-Punch Man Chapter #194. As revealed by Blast, Empty Void received God's power from the mysterious cube-shaped relic and gained additional strength after exploiting the cosmic fallout from Saitama's fight against Garou.The Void uses the power of God to cut through the fabric of reality, regardless of the target's size or density.
One-Punch Man has two chapter numbering systems, one based on the system published in volumes and one based on online chapters. There is a difference between numbering due to redrawn chapters and merging/splitting. Tonari, the online magazine published by One-Punch Man, has a different chapter numbering pattern that increases with each update.
Blast reflects the ability of God's vessels to use these powers, coldly declaring that these skills scale with the user's talents, knowing full well how dangerous that makes the Void. This means that the Void can change and slide between dimensions using the power of God, ignore the limitations of any physical form. This could pose a threat to Saitama, who has also made a career out of ignoring the laws of physics, and now finds an enemy with similar abilities.
Blast is the only character confirmed to be able to stop God's power
The Void's former partner is a natural rival to the God-sized slashing power of One-Punch Man
In the latest redrawn chapters of One-Punch Man, just a few seconds after his instincts arose, Blast suddenly caused the entire Hero Association to dodge Void's attack. He can alter space like Empty Void can, dodging even physical destructive attacks like Dimension Slice. This means Blast is the central defense against God's power in One-Punch Man, at least for now..
What's perhaps scariest is that Blast mentions that this is just one of God's powers, meaning the true extent of this villain's abilities is still unknown. Still, this is a much-needed glimpse into the mystery of God and the first revelation of His power, beyond the ability to tempt and empower humans.
Man one punchSaitama's biggest challenge will certainly be to find a worthy opponent for Saitama to end the series with an epic battle. EQUAL God could be the ultimate villain, this first look at his powers is certainly promising and more information about this mysterious creature will no doubt be revealed soon, now that the series has begun develop.
