Chapter 166 (Online)

"Squared" (二乗, Jijō, Tonari: 211) is the 166th chapter of the One-Punch Man manga series.

Summary
Child Emperor and Waganma begin to bleed from their nose, before losing consciousness. Zombieman and Sekingar quickly rush to their aid, with the former noticing that clumps of hair are falling from the young hero's scalp.

Bang confronts Garou and reasons that his former student is harbouring something evil inside, demanding to return him. Garou claims that he is acting under his own will but the two are interrupted by the sudden appearance of Blast, emerging from a portal. Blast skips the pleasantries and tells Garou he is being controlled by God, to the shock of the two; the hero warns him that any released attack will endanger the lives of all living things on the planet. When Garou doesn't respond, Blast shows him the effects of his actions.

Nearly every hero present has now lost consciousness from the cosmic radiation he emits. Blast surmises that Garou is still retaining his humanity and is not completely enslaved by God's will, hoping that he can be reasoned with to avoid conflict. His hopes are quickly shut down by Garou's laughter, finding enjoyment that his "divine power" is killing people by being near him. Garou proclaims he is the future of the human race, "Disaster Level: God". Left with no choice, Blast orders Bang to stand down; the aged hero declares that he will have to kill him if he wants what he desires.

Manako sees her chance to escape with the heroes now downed, only to bleed from the radiation as well and collapse. With her remaining strength, she looks up and sees Tareo, alone and unconscious.

A voice quickly demands that Bang and Blast move; Genos appears and rams into Garou with the last of his energy used in a final charge. Garou grabs him and realizes that his previous opponent must have been incredibly powerful to have an S-Class hero as an apprentice. Blast responds to the situation with Dimension Cannon, launching a black hole at the two. The black hole erupts into a portal and engulfs Garou holding Genos; Blast quickly emerges from the other side, using Gravity Knuckle to punch Garou into another portal, freeing Genos from his hold.

Garou finds himself being launched into the portals in a continuous loop and under heavy assault from Blast's punches. The hero suddenly joins the portals together and seals Garou in a pocket dimension. No soon after closing them, Garou emerges from his own portal, having added Blast's attacks to his arsenal. He attacks Blast with Nuclear Fission - Gravity Knuckle, forcing him to open several portals to avoid a direct hit and fend off the immense amount of energy. The portals lead Garou's attack into an alternate dimension; when it seems that Blast has avoided the attack, the closed portal explodes, knocking both combatants away.

Blast reasons that with so much energy being released, the planet will be killed off; he places transferring everyone out as his first objective. Garou is pleased that Blast is living up to his expectation as the highest ranked S-Class hero but remarks that now, he means nothing to him. Still wanting to win, Garou reasons that he can copy Saitama's full potential and refine it to be unstoppable. To force him to use everything, the Hero Hunter takes Genos, holds him outstretched, and punches into his energy core.

As ashen rain begins to fall, Saitama appears to confront Garou, with Blast now the only remaining hero standing. Seeing his deadpan expression, Garou taunts him by throwing Genos' depleted core at him. Saitama catches it and stares blankly, remembering Genos' previous words about how he is always on time, denying them by stating that he is usually always late. Enraged, Saitama launches a Serious Punch at the Hero Hunter; Garou instantly sees the attack and uses Mode - Saitama to launch his own Serious Punch to meet him. Sensing both their energy, Blast becomes startled and believes Earth will be destroyed.
