For fans of the series, One Punch Man Chapter 179 is undeniably one of the most visually spectacular installments in the entire Psychic Sisters Arc. After months of buildup and character drama involving Fubuki, the confrontation has finally escalated into a direct clash between the Hero Association's strongest Esper, Tatsumaki, and the Caped Baldy, Saitama.
While many chapters focus on humor or side characters, One Punch Man Chapter 179 delivers exactly what the shonen audience wants: a high-stakes display of power, incredible artwork, and significant character progression.
To fully appreciate the chaos of this chapter, one must look at the events immediately preceding it. The conflict didn't start as a death match but rather as a domestic dispute gone wrong. Tatsumaki, protective and overbearing, threatened to crush the Fubuki Group. Saitama, intervening to stop the destruction of his new home (the Hero Association HQ), chose a non-violent but highly effective method: he grabbed Tatsumaki and refused to let go.
This action triggered the events of Chapter 179, moving the fight from the confined corridors of the base to the open skies of Z-City.
The epic confrontation between Saitama and Tatsumaki
The first thing that stands out in One Punch Man Chapter 179 is the artwork by Yusuke Murata. The chapter is filled with dynamic double-page spreads that capture the sheer speed of the chase.
Tatsumaki is portrayed as a force of nature. In her frustration at being unable to shake Saitama off, she drags him through skyscrapers, mountains, and debris fields. The level of detail in the background destruction is staggering. Murata manages to convey the scale of Tatsumaki's psychic power—which twists the very landscape—while contrasting it with Saitama's hilariously blank expression.

Beyond the action, One Punch Man Chapter 179 offers a subtle shift in the relationship between the two powerhouses.
Throughout the chapter, we see Tatsumaki's internal confusion. She is using attacks that would instantly vaporize Dragon-level monsters, yet the man holding her hand is completely unharmed. This is likely the first time she has encountered someone who can blatantly ignore her telekinesis.
True to his character, Saitama isn't fighting to win; he is fighting to minimize damage. His biggest concern in this chapter isn't the psychic tornados, but the fact that his clothes might get ruined.
One Punch Man Chapter 179 serves as a critical turning point. It proves to the readers (and eventually to Tatsumaki) that there is a ceiling to psychic power, and Saitama stands firmly above it. It sets the stage for the conclusion of the arc, where respect—rather than fear—might finally be established between the heroes.
If you haven't caught up with the manga yet, One Punch Man Chapter 179 is a must-read. It perfectly balances the series' trademark satire with top-tier action choreography. As we wait for the next release, this chapter stands as a testament to why One Punch Man remains at the pinnacle of the superhero genre.
Whether you are here for the "ship" dynamics between Saitama and Tatsumaki or just to see cities get leveled, this chapter delivers on all fronts.
