With the release of the redrawn One Punch Man chapter 201, the manga returned from its break and revealed the aftermath of Empty Void's attempt to recruit Flash and Sonic under God. On top of that, the manga also unveiled how Empty Void's Dimension Slash worked and set up the monster's fight against his former partner.

The previous manga chapter saw Violent Force warning Sonic and Flash about Empty Void. Right after, Empty Void ambushed Flash and Sonic, touching them with the mysterious cube to force a conversation between them and God. With that, the manga revealed Flash having a vision of young Sonic.

Redrawn One Punch Man chapter 201, titled 'You Pass,' picked up from where the previous chapter ended. The hand that was about to shake Flash's hand turned into a fist and punched Flash's face. It was seemingly Speed-o'-Sound Sonic that punched Flashy Flash to help him awaken from the manipulative genjutsu he was experiencing.

As per Sonic, the genjutsu relied on a person's emotional dependencies to manipulate them. Given how Flash saw a vision of young Speed-o'-Sound Sonic, he was surprised that he was emotionally dependent on his childhood friend. However, as he did not intend to reveal the same to Sonic, he conveyed to him that he was having a nightmare.

Upon witnessing this, Empty Void addressed Flashy Flash and Speed-o'-Sound Sonic as a "duo." While Flash excelled in skill, Sonic excelled in heart, hence helping them attain the perfect balance. However, neither ninjas were prepared to accept that they lacked anything and began their assault against the former Ninja Village founder.

Just as the two charged toward him, Empty Void seemingly stepped out of their dimension and reached a space that was outside the causality of the universe. This allowed Empty Void to fold entire dimensions like bubbles and use special jutsu to intervene from the outside. This move was the Dimension Slash that fans saw Empty Void use on the Hero Association building previously.

While Flash dodged the attack within his dimension, Sonic seemingly lost his torso due to the attack. Right after, Empty Void approached Flash with his mystery cube, asking him to become his arms and legs as he exterminates humanity from the surface of Earth using Deminsion Slash.

Just as Empty Void was getting too close to Flash, Blast appeared out of nowhere and hit him with his Gravity Knuckle. Even Speed-o'-Sound Sonic was back to normal as it was seemingly Blast who hid his upperbody in another space using his gate.

Right after, Blast revealed that he was at the battlefield because he knew something was wrong with the letter Flash received and had been following him from above.

While Blast did lose track of Flash, Empty Void's Dimension Slash helped him locate them. With that, Blast congratulated both Sonic and Flash for overcoming the temptation of the cube.
