One Punch Man Manga Online Chapter 168
In the climactic battle on Jupiter’s moon Io, Saitama completely overwhelms Garou, mocking his futile attempts to mimic his limitless power. With barely any effort, Saitama unleashes a Serious Sneeze, obliterating what remains of Io and slicing through Jupiter’s atmosphere with ridiculous ease, flinging both fighters into the void of space. Garou escapes by opening a portal back to Earth, but Saitama—propelled by a well-timed fart—follows effortlessly and punches him back down to the surface.
Crushed by guilt after witnessing Tareo’s death from the fallout of his own cosmic radiation, Garou abandons the fight and flees, broken. He laments his failure to live up to the twisted ideal of “Absolute Evil,” realizing that everything he did was, at its core, meant to protect Tareo. Saitama, finally grasping Garou’s true intent, doesn’t judge him—instead, he listens. With his body disintegrating into cosmic ash, Garou performs one final act: he teaches Saitama how to recreate the time-travel technique that “God” had forced upon him.
Saitama uses this newfound ability to leap back in time, arriving mid-battle and delivering a Zero Punch—a paradoxical strike from the future that erases Garou’s cosmic powers before they take hold. Time and space warp. Two timelines collapse into one. Saitama returns to the present, still holding Genos’s core, only to find a fully restored Genos tackling him in relief. The world resets—Tareo lives, the heroes are safe, and the devastation is undone. In the end, even cosmic-scale destruction bends before Saitama’s absurd, boundless strength.
