STRONGEST One-Punch Man Discussion Thread!

It seems the guy with Blast was really Ninja Leader. It is kind of unbelievable that it implies him being above Boros.

I wonder why Blast made a mess out of the ninja village considering he can teleport. Do they have an anti-teleport measures or something?

Saitama seems serious for reasons unknown and it didn't get played for laughs. He also got teleported alongside Blast. Did he get a wind of Saitama's strength or is there another reason?

And they completely skipped the part where Flash decides Sonic is dangerous because Saitama can remember his name.

Looks like its connected to Japanese mythology(obviously)

Ama-no-Iwato (天の岩戸, literally "heaven's rock cave") is a cave in Japanese mythology. According to the Kojiki (Records of Ancient Matters) and the Nihon Shoki, the bad behavior of Susano'o, the Japanese god of storms, drove his sister Amaterasu into the Ama-no-Iwato cave. The land was thus deprived of light.

Remember in chapter 138

Where does Ama-no-Iwato come up? Is "God" implied to be an Amaterasu like figure or...?

Also would this imply there are other cosmic entities
 
Wow, this chapter is fire, ngl it was very close to what I expected, but I wasn't expecting to "that man" actually receive a name, I thought they were going to keep the joke

Void, not a bad name
 
HOLY CRAP

There's so much speculation going on right now, but what's certain is that Blast's dialogue has huge implications for NVL's overall narrative importance, who God is and where he's located.

I'm talking with the guys doing translation and things are getting spicy with all of these dimensions and whatnot. Don't expect an upgrade to multiversal or anything but keep an open mind
 
Also: we need to give Blast flight at this point, he was flying when he was fighting Elder Centipede and you look closely at the panel where he's fighting NVL he's flying there too (those are mountains behind him).

As in, remove the "possibly flight" and just have "flight"
 
Early Translation stuff:

The Dimension where God is sealed is referred by Blast as "The Empty / Heavenly Void" (空のヴォイド) (Or that could be the Ninja Leader's name) and when talking about the Ninja Leader, he says the following (The translation is rough and I 100% got some details wrong):

https://cdn.**********.com/attachments/566830605782876170/1174395293266088026/image.png

(In the last panel):

Japanese Script: "あいっは カミが潜伏する 次元に通ずるゲート, 「天の岩戸」を開ける唯一の能力者でな. "
Rough Translation: "He is the only one with the ability to open the Gate of the Heavenly Rock, the door to the hidden dimension where God is concealed."

By "Heavenly Rock", the text means Ama-no-Iwato (天の岩戸), which in Japanese Mythology is the name of the cave where the Sun Goddess Amaterasu hid herself.

This finally gives clearence to this cryptic tweet of Murata from last year:



"Ame no Uzume (The Whirpool of Heaven = Jupiter's Great Red Eye) was stripped naked. The Ama-no-Iwato / Heavenly Rock Cave will open".
 
So it looks like Blast, Manako and Saitama are going to see "That Man" together. This is very interesting, Blast will be able to witness Saitama's power in this timeline.
 
Flash actually said he went to check the village (well, it isn't a village, more like a lab) while Saitama was looking for Manako on "3 panels"

My boy breakes the 4th wall aswell 🗿
 
It's sad Blast forgot everything tbh. It doesn't make sense that a being who can travel through dimensions is affected by time travel shenigans.

Anyway, it's possible Blast'd find Saitama's potential soon, since both of them came to fight Ninja Leader, though I doubt that'd happen honestly

Actually no, Flashy Flash deceived them and told them to go somewhere else and went on his own to look for Sonic

It doesn't make any sense regardless how you look at it.

Blast was at a parallel dimension before the fight against Cosmic Garou started.

If time travelling created a parallel world as Genos suggested, said parallel world cannot include Blast, as he was in a parallel dimension (and parallel dimensions in OPM have shown to have their own flow of time, check when Saitama met God for example), so if it was the same Blast as the one in the future, then he should remember everything. Other option is that there are countless Blasts fighting the same entity, yet they do not cooperate

If time travelling just rewinded time before the beginning of Garou fight, it makes even less sense. If Blast went back to the "Another Dimension" he was before the fight begun, then he shouldn't be affected by the time rewind. And if he didn't, then it's even more weird because the time travel went to a point before he arrived, so... where did he go?
