Chapter 201 of the One Punch Man manga was an exciting one, with Blast and the Ninja Village’s leader starting to duke it out for the final time. 

However, what caught fans by surprise was the Leader’s powers! 

Chapter 201 of the One Punch Man manga shows the leader pulling out the big guns against Flashy Flash and Speed-O-Sound Sonic as he uses the Dimension Slash!

This attack is performed by the leader after he exits into a place where the law of Casualty is not followed, allowing him to slash through any dimension as he pleases!

All the bubbles we see in the chapter are separate dimensions. 

Fans have been speculating the existence of a multiverse ever since the reveal of God and the universes that S-Class Hero Blast has traveled to.

While we saw a team of people helping Blast before, we’ve never had evidence as strong as now!

It is clear that multiple universes and realities exist, meaning it is possible that Saitama never became the strongest in one universe, while he was killed while at his peak in another! 

This opens the window to countless spin-offs, much like Western comics series like Marvel, which has the fans extremely excited!
