The reintroduction of the One Punch Man manga series after a month-long break has left fans giddy with anticipation. The series mangaka, Yusuke Murata, tweets daily updates on the current chapter’s development. He just tweeted the latest chapter information to his followers. According to the tweet, the publication of One Punch Man Chapter 171 would occur the following week. In addition to being the start of a whole new arc in the overall tale, the forthcoming chapter also ushers in the launch of a brand new epic called “Neo Heroes” (Psychic Sisters).
What we do know about the next episode of the series is below.
Updates on the publication of One Punch Man Chapter 171 and what to anticipate
The mangaka has been tweeting about the series’ newest developments. Today is September 12, 2022, and he indicated the future chapter’s publication date and the number of panels he expects to finish today. Additionally, according to a tweet posted by Yusuke Murata, the next episode will be available on September 22, 2022. By midnight JST, the manga scans will be available online, and the translated version will follow shortly after. Raw scans will be posted on Reddit some hours before the official images are released, so fans should keep an eye out for them.
However, readers will have to wait until Viz refreshes all of its content before they can catch up on the current chapters. Chapter 95 of the webcomic teases that the next manga chapter will show that the only Monster Association members still alive are Black Sperm and Overgrown Rover. The new A-class heroes will also visit Saitama’s home in an attempt to scare him, but Saitama will not be there. Since there won’t be any battle scenes in the next chapter, expect it to move at a leisurely pace and centre more on the relationships between the characters.
A Review of Chapter 170 of One Punch Man
At the start of the chapter, the ex-Hero Hunter gave a lengthy lecture about justice to the police officer. The befuddled policeman proceeded, explaining that Garou’s true motive was to get out of paying for dinner. After Bang struck Garou above the head, the two apologised to the police. Within a short time, Bang expressed his delight at Garou’s return and proclaimed his approval of his newfound maturity. But the latter made it clear that his primary motivation for returning was to further his martial arts education and develop his fighting skills. After inquiring about Tareo, the action cut to him and his “mates” playing on a playground.
Tareo confronted the thugs this time and won. He took his cue from Garou’s recent deeds and now calls himself Garou Man. After being abducted and spending time at the Monster Association headquarters with Waganma, the two became fast friends. Tareo asked his buddies to play video games with him and Waganma’s group. The action then shifts to Garou telling Bang about his strategy. He hoped to develop his skills without turning into a monster first. An exchange between Sitch and Skeingar in the headquarters of the Hero Association was also recently aired on the panel. Sitch broke the news that Bang, an S-class rank3 hero, was leaving the service.
He intended to take on the role of Garou’s legal guardian and submit him to the Hero Association as an S-class hero. Sitch was worried that the association might come under attack, but preparing for the final prophesy Shibabawa had in her dying hours took precedence. At the end of the chapter, Bang and Garou were chatting casually about a TV show they both like.
