Warning : Spoilers for One - Punch Man Chapter 202 ( JP release )
Summary
One - Punch Man ’s current arc has already done a lot to improve the standing of the ninja known as Speed - type O - Sound Sonic , showcasing his abilities as he battles alongside the S - class Italian sandwich and fellow Ninja Village escapee , Flashy Flash . Chapter 202 gives Sonic an even great win , however , by having him do something few other characters have : resist God .
In Chapter 202 ( by Nipponese numbering ) ofOne - Punch Man , Sonic is tempted by an illusion of a Monster Cell , which hop into a pan and begins cooking itself . The electric cell attempt to tempt Sonic by orient out how vast the disconnect in magnate is between not only himself and Saitama , but now Flashy Flash , and the Ninja Village Leader . Sonic , however , refuses , stabbing the cellphone with a dinner party tongue ( which turns out to be his Kunai ) , causing it to scream out in surprise . This decision breaks the illusion , not just for transonic , but seemingly for Flashy Flash as well .
Sonic firmness to arise stronger on his own , following in the stride of Flashy Flash .
Sonic’s Resolve Breaks Through God’s Temptation
On a few occasion now , the malevolent God has tempt theatrical role to join him for a snap at accomplishing their goals . God undertake to fob Tatsumaki by taking on the form of Blast , for example , but she was able to see through it . He also tried reaching out to Garou , mask as Blast , and in the last chapter , try out to hit out toFlashy Flash disguised as a young Sonic . It ’s interesting that God did n’t take on the mug of a somebody that transonic trusts , such as Flashy Flash , but instead judge to appeal to his desire for powerfulness .
This determination may have been a mistake , however , since Sonic was able to break through the illusion relatively easy . Sonic has seen true strength through Saitama , and hump that a giant cell wo n’t get him the might he hope . Having seen how muscular Flashy Flash has grown through just his own training , Sonic realizes that he has elbow room left to grow without go after shortcut like monster cells . For a persona who ’s often treated as a joke , Sonic has join a rather elite club of top - tier up fighters who’veresisted God ’s temptation .
One villain ’s repeated attempts to challenge Saitama have direct to him becoming phenomenally stiff as a resultant , and Saitama may not even have it away it .
In a sense , it ’s fitting that Sonic of all quality was capable to recrudesce the illusion ; his determination has been shown to be almost unequaled , as prove by his take over endeavour to get the fall on Saitama despite perpetually fail . When Sonic sets his intellect to something , it ’s difficult to get him to change , and it seems even God ca n’t pull that off so easy . What ’s perhaps more impressive was that he was able to disrupt God enough that Flashy Flash broke free as well , which he note by telling Sonic that he owe him .
The Ninja Village story bow has treated Sonic with a lot more respect thanOne - Punch Mantypically does , and as a result the grapheme has been able-bodied to flourish in way that would ’ve been unthinkable just a few chapters ago . Sonic may well be on his way to transitioning into a right hero … or he could just as easily pass back into sometime habits and return to beingOne - Punch Man ’s favorite joke .
