One-Punch Manby ONE and Yusuke Murata, chapter #199 (Viz numbering)
InNaruto , genjutsu is a rarely utilize proficiency for most ninja , as it requires exceptional acquisition and intelligence to properly manipulate illusions in a convincing style . The one exception to this is those capable of usingthe eye technique known as Sharingan , such as phallus of the Uchiha clan , like Sasuke and Itachi . Sasuke has caused victim of his Sharingan to experience illusion of being stabbed or held down by shadows , which are certainly scarey in their own right , but never anything quite as gruesome as whatOne - Punch Manhas shown .
One - Punch Mangoes a step further with the Ninja Village Leader ’s genjutsu , explain that not only can he create these devastatingly naturalistic illusions , buthe can also use psychic abilities to break a mark ’s slap-up fears , and then use them against him . For Flashy Flash , that meant an illusion of Saitama ’s pernicious Serious Punch , and his senses were completely fool , even live about the Leader ’s capacity for genjutsu . He ’s then shown another conjuration of Sonic ’s beheaded caput , which play tricks him long enough for the Leader to attack .
One - Punch Manis sure as shooting capturing the unfeigned horror that a ugly person with the mental ability to create any illusion might impose , with these image especially calibrate to terrify Flashy Flash in particular . While Flash is apparently skilled at fighting without rely on his eyes , even he ca n’t do much to fight back against a genjutsu of this quality . The final illusion , however , may be the fell , as it ’s due to his contact withGod ’s block , and it ’s a way to trick him into accepting the power of this still - mysterious villain , which has potentially dread consequences .
The sudden appearance ofGod and his mysterieswill certainly catch all the attention from fans , but the horrific illusions displayed by the Ninja Village Leader were also a highlighting of this battle , showing thatOne - Punch Man ’s " Ninja Arc " can not only borrow fromNarutobut also tug these element to a new level by giving them a unique spin .
