Lights Out is the 201st chapter of the One-Punch Man manga and a Ninjas Arc entry. Blast whisks the surviving ninjas to safety only to learn Saitama has already flattened their enemy, and his absence from duty cracks the sky open for two otherworldly beasts.
Key Events
Because Blast has stepped away from the post he is meant to guard, the sky suddenly splits into what looks like a tear between dimensions. Through that opening, the beasts Byakko and Genbu cross over from a separate realm and force their way onto Earth, setting up a fresh crisis.
Notes
The chapter's Japanese title is 白目 (Shirome), and it went live on April 10, 2025, with Saitama on the cover. It draws partly from webcomic chapter 118. Earlier drafts of this installment survive as Chapter 201 (Retconned) and Chapter 201 (Retconned Version 2).
