One Punch Man Chapter 201 Recap

One Punch Man Chapter 201 began with the emergence of The Great One after being fueled by the sacrificial blood and entrails of the ninja village. Titled Genjutsu, the chapter sets off with the reveal of ‘that man’ to be Empty Void, who asks about Blast’s whereabouts so that he may consume him as well. Flashy Flash and Empty Void clash, and the latter uses his genjutsu powers to make the illusion that the Tennins are still alive. Not fooled by this, Flashy Flash warns Speed-o-Sonic of the man’s ability, making Speed-o-Sonic also join the fight.


Empty Void pulls out a cube from his mouth, something that was enshrined in the facility’s basement. He then uses it to put up more illusions, bringing Flashy Flash and Speed-o-Sonic to face their greatest fears. Flashy Flash is struck by the cube after letting his guard down, and the scene changes to a ‘flashback’ where Flashy Flash talks to ‘Sonic’, and that they were in the ‘place of dreams that they swore to.’ The next scene shows this to be an illusion, as the being’s side is grotesque and wrong. Seemingly falling for it, Flashy Flash extends his hand towards this Sonic in acceptance. The chapter ended on this cliffhanger, leaving readers pondering the extent of God's influence and its implications for the heroes' fate.
