Since the previous chapter of One Punch Man ended on a cliffhanger, fans have been waiting anxiously for the release of chapter 178. Before, readers could always check the webcomic’s original source to figure out what will happen in subsequent instalments. Nonetheless, Mangaka Yusuke Murata included some new aspects at the start of the Psychic Sisters Arc that might take the tale in a different path. The Tsukuyomi member threatened Fubuki in the last chapter, and Tatsumaki intervened to protect her. But after that, as the Blizzard gang was dragging Fubuki down, Tatsumaki began threatening to quit. Saitama stepped in at this point to prevent more damage. The anticipated showdown is finally going to happen in One Punch Man chapter 178.
In the webcomic, Saitama and Tatsumaki engage in a city-wide war that ends with Tatsumaki using her telekinesis to throw Saitama into another city after their constant sniping has destroyed portions of the Hero Association headquarters. One Punch Man chapter 178, however, might take an alternative path in which the battle is stopped in the midst of the action itself, negating the need for the events that came before. Nonetheless, the likelihood of the same does not appear to be very likely.
It’s possible that Fubuki may strive to sever relations with the Blizzard Entertainment family.
Based on Tatsumaki’s advice in Chapter 178 of One Punch Man, Fubuki may try to break up the Blizzard Group so that her friends don’t get hurt. As Fubuki set her sights higher, it became clear that her group’s members may put themselves in harm’s way by striving to match her ambitions. Because the Blizzard Group cares about Fubuki and doesn’t want to abandon her, there may be considerable back-and-forth before Fubuki agrees to go. While potentially harmful, it surely couldn’t compare to Tatsumaki’s promise to wound the group to the point that they could no longer do their hero duties.
Potential for both fresh and familiar faces to make an appearance
According to the original webcomic, Saitama and Tatsumaki’s struggle would cause them to get rid of a wicked gang in N-City and a Dragon-level monster in H-City. This means that a large number of adversaries might appear in One Punch Man chapter 178. It was Metal Bat’s job to kill the creature in question. If Sonic the Hedgehog sees Saitama, he will likely challenge him to a battle, thus we could see him in this chapter as well.
There’s a chance Tatsumaki is in harm’s way.
Fans may recall that Tatsumaki suffered several wounds during her earlier confrontations. Therefore, she may get so exhausted during her battle with Saitama that her wounds recur.
In the comics, she had no choice but to finish the fight by luring Saitama into a pit she dug and then closing it up again. There’s a chance that in Chapter 178 of One Punch Man, the same thing may occur.
Latest Leaks For Chapter 178
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.
