One Punch Man Manga Chapter 161

After defeating Sage Centipede, Garou resolves to become “Absolute Evil,” dismissing the absent S-Class heroes. Saitama appears, unimpressed, questioning Garou’s motives. Garou boasts about his power and goals, but Saitama notes contradictions, like Garou saving a helicopter. When Saitama dismissively calls him “not a monster” and walks away, Garou attacks, only to be effortlessly knocked back by a punch. The strike jolts Garou’s memory—he finally recognizes Saitama as the bald hero he’d encountered before, realizing too late that he underestimated his true priority target.
