Chapter 167 (Online)

"I.O." (Tonari: 212) is the 167th chapter of the One-Punch Man manga series.

Summary
Before the moment of impact between the two Serious Punches, Blast opens a gateway beneath Saitama and Garou to save the Earth from destruction. Their fists meet and release an gigantic amount of energy; knocked away flying, Blast desperately holds on to keep the gateway's form and save the planet from the impact. He is joined by his interdimensional allies. As they comment their amazement at someone other than Blast surviving such divine power, they aid him with closing the gateway. However, Saitama and Garou are shot out into space when the recoil of their attack is closed off by the gateway being shut.

The two land on Io, the moon closest to Jupiter in orbit; as Garou gathers himself from the surprise of landing on a moon, Saitama makes use of the strange situation, believing he can now go all out. He tries to put Genos' core in his suit but decides to hold onto it, should the suit be torn. When Garou tries to tell Saitama that they must find a way to return to Earth, the hero cuts him off and claims "that can come after I beat the shit out of you", directly challenging the monster. Surprised by his seriousness, Garou opens a gateway beneath Saitama.

Saitama quickly kicks away the portal from his feet and hurls a punch, sending Garou hurtling. He opens another gate behind the hero to hit him, but Saitama grabs the edge and flips it down, exposing Garou for another punch and knocking him back out onto the surface. Saitama mocks his "little tricks" and asks for Garou to use his fists. The cosmic monster responds that the techniques of countless school used as one are "his fists".

Opening numerous gateways to surround Saitama for an attack, Garou speeds through them all and barrages him with his techniques. He uses Roaring Aura Sky Ripping Fist, followed by Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, which is joined by Exploding Heart Release Fist, before using Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist, mercilessly pummelling the hero. Garou ends his assault with Nuclear Fission Gravity Knuckle, causing a huge explosion that decimates Io.

With his suit torn but remaining unharmed from the assault, Saitama retaliates with Serious Tableflip, digging his hand into the crust and launching tens of thousands of tonnes of lunar rock into the air, ripping apart the moon's surface. Caught directly in the attack, Garou helplessly tumbles in the debris, unable to feel the gravity to stay upright. Saitama blitzes through the flying debris and surrounds Garou with Omni-directional Serious Punch. To save himself, Garou quickly opens a gateway to escape, only to find Saitama flying through the portal, the numerous punches being afterimages. Saitama punches him out of the gateway, sending Garou hurtling through the destroyed moon's surface.

Garou halts his momentum and positions his body upright. Telling himself to focus and believing Saitama is simply holding the edge between the rocks, Garou opens a gate to the moon's atmosphere above the debris. Before he realizes it, Saitama attacks him with another Serious Punch. Seeing that his opponent is limitlessly strong, Garou reasons he can copy him limitlessly as well to win, striking Saitama with his own punch.
