After the events in chapter 177, fans of One Punch Man can’t wait for the publication of chapter 178. Despite the fact that mangaka Yusuke Murata does release his chapters on a bi-weekly frequency, the schedule for the same has yet to be determined. That leaves us with only a guess as to when the next chapter will be published. The Tsukuyomi member from the previous chapter threatened to unleash a lethal poison within Fubuki and disclosed that he had planted a spy into the Blizzard gang to do the same thing. In order to rescue Fubuki from the other Tsukuyomi members, Tatsumaki ultimately begged Fubuki to leave the organisation. Saitama intervened as she was about to threaten the others in the group.
The Time and Date of Its Publication
Predictions place the publication of chapter 178 on January 26, 2023, at 12:00 a.m. JST on that Thursday. Mangaka Yusuke Murata releases the chapters every Thursday at 12 am JST, while an exact publishing date has not yet been set. Similarly, fans from other countries may get their hands on it right now. You may have to wait a few of weeks for the official English translations to appear on Viz Media’s website, though.
Chapter 178 of One Punch Man will be available for readers on the Tonari no Young Jump website published by Shueisha, and afterwards on the official website published by Viz Media, on or around February 9, 2023.
What will happen in Chapter 178 of “One Punch Man.”
After the Caped Baldy tried to stop the S-class hero from attacking the Blizzard gang, Saitama and Tatsumaki will likely face off in One Punch Man chapter 178. When she realised she couldn’t save everyone in the group, she became concerned for their safety.
Then she threatened them in the hopes that they would abandon their leader. But now that Saitama has intervened, Tatsumaki’s pride must have been bruised, and she may be getting ready to confront Saitama in earnest. Meanwhile, in the following chapter, the battle may be abruptly halted if Tatsumaki decides she wants to look into the Tsukuyomi herself. Tsukuyomi coincidentally refers to the Moon God. Together with Fubuki’s vision of God through Psykos’s Third Eye, this must be a sign that God is about to visit Earth.
Recap of Chapter 177
In Chapter 177 of One Punch Man, titled “The Supernatural & Risks,” a Tsukuyomi member uses a tranquillizer that has been laced with Fubuki’s medications. He accomplished this with the help of a Tsukuyomi spy who worked his way into the ranks of the Blizzard organisation. With the Tsukuyomi member’s threat to release a fatal toxin as well, Tatsumaki called off her rampage. However, she was able to zero down on the poison within Fubuki and blast it out with her esper abilities. She then dispatched both Tsukuyomi members and requested that Fubuki depart from the Blizzard crew. She was about to threaten the others to abandon Fubuki so that she wouldn’t have to carry them alone when Saitama cut her off.
