One Punch Man chapter 169 recap

The chapter began with a panel that showed Garou, who was quite confused because he could not understand how a punch landed on him. Despite his confusion, he seemed to have given up, and all the heroes surrounded him.

Genos was happy to see his master, and Saitama handed Genos his core from the alternate timeline. He connected it using a subconnector, and all the memories from the alternate timeline were now accessible. Genos was astounded by the images he saw, and that’s when he realized that Saitama traveled back in time to save all the heroes from Garou’s wrath.

Genos attempted to explain Saitama’s abilities which went over his head, and the Caped Baldy had his signature confused look. In addition to not understanding Genos’ explanation, he also forgot how he traveled back in time.

This means that Saitama probably doesn’t have time-traveling abilities. Later the panel focused on Zombieman, who intervened and asked Garou if he took God’s help. Garou denied everything, and Amai Mask was about to kill him. That’s when Tareo clung to the hero’s legs hoping he wouldn’t kill him.

Metal Bat didn’t want the heroes to beat up an injured person. The arguments didn’t seem to stop until King used his King Engine at Maximum Output. He claimed a kid was watching, and the heroes needed to stop. Bang also mentioned that Garou needs to make up for all the wrongdoings by saving people in need.

Garou manages to escape, and Metal Knight shows up with an army of drones. He said that there was a decontamination process that they needed to go through since they were all suffering from acute radiation poisoning.
