So, what happened the last time? (Recap)
In the One Punch Man chapter 175 titled “Visitor,” Fubuki dragged Saitama along with her and the Blizzard Group to see Psykos. However, the latter was being visited at the time by another esper, probably a villain, who was doing experiments on her in his lab. Throughout the chapter, we also got glimpses of Fubuki and Psykos’s backgrounds. Apparently, they were high school friends when the former identified the latter as her nemesis. So, when Psykos was little, Fubuki sealed up her abilities to stop her. Fubuki and Psykos’s fight in One Punch Man chapter 176 is a direct result of their history together and the Garou event.
After the events of Chapter 175, fans of One Punch Man can’t wait for the publication of Chapter 176. Even though mangaka Yusuke Murata has been releasing his chapters every two weeks, a definitive schedule has yet to be set. Therefore, all we can do is speculate on when the next chapter will be published. Saitama was pulled along to see Psykos by Fubuki and the Blizzard Group in the previous chapter. She had planned to interrogate the Monster, but she sensed the proximity of another powerful esper and chickened out. Sadly for Fubuki, this unknown person arrived in Psykos before they could finally meet.
The Time and Date of Its Publication
It is anticipated that Yusuke Murata, the manga’s author, would issue One Punch Man Chapter 176 on December 15, 2022, at 12 am JST, in keeping with the series’ usual biweekly publishing schedule. If you can’t wait till Thursdays at 12 am JST, you can always check Yusuke Murata’s website. This is also available to supporters from other countries at the same time. The official English translations, however, may not be available on the Viz Media website for a few weeks.
Chapter 176 of One Punch Man is scheduled to be posted on Shueisha’s Tonari no Young Jump website, and subsequently on Viz Media’s official website, on or around December 29, 2022.
Thoughts on One Punch Man Chapter 176?
After years of faithfully translating ONE’s webcomic into manga, Yusuke Murata appears to have decided to shake things up a bit. Fubuki had sensed the presence of a powerful esper in the previous chapter, prompting her to invite Saitama to join her. In the original comics, she invited Saitama to join her during her interrogation of Psykos because she was afraid Tatsumaki might interfere.
The next arc will centre on the Psychic sisters Fubuki and Tatsumaki, with some involvement from the group Tsukuyomi, because of the way the plot introduced a new character. However, the flashback battle between Fubuki and Psykos that occurred during Saitama’s fight with Garou may be followed up on in One Punch Man chapter 176.
