Some hours ago, the author of One Punch Man indicated on Twitter that the release of chapter 171 was imminent. The author has announced the manga will continue on September 22, 2022, with the release of chapter 171 of One Punch Man. As the story has been on pause since Saitama’s battle with Garou concluded, the publication of a new chapter was met with great excitement. Read on to find out when the much-anticipated Chapter 171 will finally be available. Depending on the events in Chapter 171 of One Punch Man, Saitama’s storyline may be shifting gears.
Seven years were spent drawing and writing about the battle between the Garou and the Hero Association. Creator Yusuke Murata of One Punch Man chose to take a month off after finishing the story arc. The announcement came in late August, just after the release of chapter 170, making the current month nearly over. In a little over two weeks, Murata’s incredible artwork will grace the pages of a brand new chapter of the One Punch Man manga.
Just what did the prior arc focus on?
The Monsters Association arc provided viewers with one of the longest and most interesting adventures in the One Punch Man series. The monsters of this world have banded together to form their own organisation, commanded by the fearsome and powerful Orochi, in an attempt to wipe out the heroes. Inciting a conflict that wreaked havoc on the city, our heroes and antagonists introduced a wide cast of new and compelling characters while also bringing back some old favourites. The most notable figure throughout this conflict, though, was Garou, a former human-turned monster who hunted heroes for fun.
In this phase, with God’s assistance, Garou was able to overcome his limitations. This not only granted him superhuman strength, but also the ability to mimic the moves of any hero or villain. Saitama faced his toughest fight to date with Garou as his final opponent in the Monster Association arc. The monster was doomed, since not even his divine abilities could save him from the bald hero. The fact that Saitama’s strength is practically limitless came as a pleasant surprise to the fans. Ultimately, Saitama went back in time to stop Garou from turning into a monster, and he was able to save the day once again.
Any guesses as to the subject matter of the next chapter?
Chapter 171 of One Punch Man will begin Saitama’s new journey after the conclusion of the Monsters Association arc. Now that Garou has been vanquished and God’s schemes have been thwarted once more, Saitama may rest easy knowing that the deity won’t be back for a while. Because of the new information about Saitama’s capabilities, the manga might go in any number of directions. It’s hard to imagine Saitama facing anyone who can match his strength before he encounters God. Keeping this in mind, it would be interesting to see Saitama face up against new foes that would force him to the brink of his skills. When Saitama met the villain Cosmic Garou, the bad guy ended up being the one to teach Saitama how to time travel.
Despite the fact that Saitama probably doesn’t keep this in mind, the manga may soon investigate the possibility of him gaining the abilities of other heroes thanks to his potential. And lastly, because of the data he received from his core, Genos knows what transpired in the timeframe in which he perished. It’s possible he wants to bulk up so that no other villains like Garou can ever rise to power again. Additionally, the android is the only one who realises God poses a danger to Saitama and the human race. God is increasingly frantic to stop Saitama’s progress, thus this might come into action sooner than fans anticipate. Only Genos could forewarn Saitama and the other heroes of the potential consequences of angering God.
More details regarding One Punch Man chapter 171 are yet to be disclosed. Within the next few weeks, raw scans of the chapter will likely be released, giving fans a clearer understanding of the chapter’s narrative. In the meanwhile, we can only anticipate Saitama’s and his allies’ return with joy.
