Hyperspace is a higher dimension reachable only by Empty Void, a boundless expanse that lies outside the universe's chain of cause and effect, where every parallel world floats as a drifting bubble. After later chapter revisions it is now regarded as non-canon unless it gets reintroduced.
Hyperspace presents as a limitless, star-strewn void reaching past the everyday universe. Drifting through it are innumerable bubbles, and each single one holds its own reality, splitting off without end to cover every conceivable timeline, permutation, and variant of events.
The realm's defining trait is that it sits beyond the cause-and-effect order governing the ordinary cosmos. From within it, Void gains a sweeping overhead view that lets him scan and lock onto any point across the universe. A particular shinobi technique lets him reach out and make contact with the separate bubbles, and that contact is what powers his Dimension Slash, a strike he lands on targets in the physical world from wholly beyond it. He can likewise teleport to any spot he picks on Earth and could conceivably range across the whole universe from this vantage.
During the Ninjas arc, Empty Void slips into this dimension and hurls a Dimension Slash at the Hero Association Headquarters as a hostile greeting, only for Blast, present on the scene, to whisk the building clear of danger. He tries once more in the clash that draws in Flashy Flash and Speed-o'-Sound Sonic, aiming to kill Sonic and prey on Flash's grief, and again in his own duel with Blast, but each attempt is undone by Blast's well-timed teleports. Later in that battle Void slips back into hyperspace for another slash that would likely have killed all three, save for Saitama, who stepped in and dragged Void back down to the surface with his blade.
Hyperspace is a higher dimension in One Punch Man reachable only by Empty Void, a boundless void that lies outside the universe's chain of cause and effect.
Hyperspace appears as a limitless, star-strewn void containing innumerable bubbles, each holding its own reality and splitting endlessly into every possible variant of events.
From within Hyperspace, Empty Void gains a sweeping overhead view of the universe and can launch his Dimension Slash attack at targets in the physical world, as well as teleport to any spot on Earth.
Blast repeatedly foiled Empty Void's Dimension Slash attacks from Hyperspace with well-timed teleports, and Saitama ultimately pulled Void back down to the surface with his blade during their battle.
Hyperspace is now regarded as non-canon after later chapter revisions, unless the concept is reintroduced in the story.
