One Punch Man Chapter 204: Key Spoilers You Can’t Miss

One Punch Man chapter 204 is eagerly awaited by fans. Following the manga’s return from hiatus, fans are keen to see the continuation of the battle between Blast and Empty Void. Unfortunately, the storyline has shifted focus from the Ninjas Arc to the new Neo Heroes.

The last chapter presented fans with the Neo Leaders of the new hero organization. While some heroes exhibited questionable actions and backgrounds, others genuinely aimed to improve society. Just as the new heroes greeted the Neo Leaders, Raiden challenged Darkshine’s choice to become a trainer.

With this in mind, let’s explore some predictions for the upcoming One Punch Man chapter 204.

Disclaimer: This article contains spoilers from the One Punch Man manga and original webcomic.

What to expect from One Punch Man chapter 204?

Darkshine may explain his decision to the Neo Heroes

In the previous chapter, after former S-Class Hero Superalloy Darkshine introduced himself to Neo Leader Webigaza, he was approached by Raiden. The new Neo Hero seemed to have great respect for Darkshine and questioned his choice to retire from hero duties to become a trainer.

The forthcoming chapter could depict Darkshine finally clarifying his decision to his new colleagues. Fans might also be treated to a flashback, which could shed light on why Darkshine was affected after his fight against Garou.

While the previous chapter did not indicate a fight between Raiden and Darkshine, the way Raiden approached Darkshine hinted at a challenge, as if he were eager to test Darkshine’s strength.

Rather than listening to Darkshine’s story, Raiden might challenge him to a sumo match. This duel could revolve around betting on whether Darkshine will revert to being a hero or remain a trainer with the Neo Heroes.

The manga may return to Blast vs. Empty Void

While it appears the manga will dwell on the Neo Heroes storyline for a while longer, manga fans know that switching plotlines is not uncommon for artist Yusuke Murata. Thus, chapter 204 could potentially take a detour back to the fight between Blast and Empty Void.

This could allow the manga to focus on concluding the Ninjas Arc before fully transitioning into the Neo Heroes story arcs.
