Suiryu began feeling regretful in One Punch Man chapter 203, ‘Neo Leaders,’ as he had failed to join Saitama’s organization. Metal Bat took notice of Suiryu’s words. Suddenly, McCoy interrupted their conversation and revealed that former members of the Hero Association had joined the Neo Heroes due to their dissatisfaction with the organization’s corrupt practices.

The Wild Emperor gave his approval to the Hero Association, which only accepted heroes who could be immediately utilized. On the other hand, the Neo Heroes were known for their progressive approach and utilized a training system to develop young individuals into heroes. Furthermore, all of their trainers were of exceptional caliber.

At that moment, Superalloy Darkshine joined Metal Bat, Wild Emperor, Suiryu, and Sekingar. The group of heroes were taken aback by the former S-Class hero’s decision to transfer with them. It was then that Darkshine announced his retirement from being a hero and his new role as a trainer for the Neo Heroes.

Despite the man’s mocking of the Hero Association and their S-Class Heroes, Metal Bat refrained from retaliating thanks to Sekingar’s intervention. It was then that McCoy introduced the man to Ryumon, the leader of the notorious Ryumon Gang consisting of 400 members. Despite his past involvement in organized crime, the man now seemed determined to use his resources for a greater cause.

At that moment, Axel approached Ryumon and reminded him that his past crimes could not be erased. As the leader of the Hunters, a group of ordinary civilians who were known for their success in defeating monsters, Axel’s membership in the Neo Heroes would likely motivate other aspiring heroes who were previously hesitant to join.

One Punch Man chapter 203 then introduced fans to Infelsinave, the founder of a church with a staggering 3 million followers. These devoted followers are now directing their support towards the Neo Heroes, with their new leader being Zaedats, a wealthy man with an impressive 40 million followers. Zaedats is also the primary source of funding for the Neo Heroes, using his wealth to support their cause. He has also allocated a significant portion of his budget towards his own equipment for his hero activities.

The newest Neo Leader was Webigaza. Suiryu immediately went up to her as she entered the room. However, Suiryu was taken aback by her dress, which was so hot it seemed to have been ironed. Webigaza was a well-known idol with a devoted fan base. She had recently come back after a six-month break, during which she had undergone numerous human experiments, seemingly enhancing her abilities. She was determined to surpass Sweet Mask in popularity through her music and heroic deeds.

Right after, Wild Emperor and Metal Bat approached her. Wild Emperor was a devoted fan of hers, while Metal Bat wanted to obtain Webigaza’s autograph for his sister, who was also a fan. However, as Superalloy Darkshine approached Webigaza, Raiden confronted him, questioning his choice to retire as a hero.
