One Punch Man’s Latest Arc Gets Redrawn for the THIRD TIME
One Punch Man’s Ninja Village Arc has been subject to multiple redraws, which has also resulted in a slower release of chapters.
On January 22, 2025, One Punch Man fans were greeted with a new chapter on the Tonari Young Jump website, except it was not quite new.
Chapter 193 was redrawn for the third time, with a new starting page and other touch-ups in art.
Chapter 193 originally came out on October 5, 2023 and is redrawn on January 29, 2025.
However, this may not quite delay the release of new chapters, so we will see how long until we get a new chapter.
The last redrawn chapter premiered on May 8, 2025 as Chapter 203: “Fever”, with Chapter 204 expected to come out on May 21, 2025.
About One Punch Man
Originally a webcomic created by ONE (Mob Psycho 100) in 2009, One Punch Man would later be adapted into a manga illustrated by Yusuke Murata (Eyeshield 21) in 2012.
While the webcomic is self-published in the Japanese website, Nitosha.net, the manga has been published on Shueisha’s Tonari no Young Jump website since June 14, 2012.
As of writing, there are 203 chapters and 33 volumes circulation, with the series is currently redrawing the current Ninja Arc.
The manga has sold 33 million copies as of March 28, 2025.
Premiering on October 15, 2015, One Punch Man Season 1 by Madhouse (Death Note, Hunter x Hunter 2011 and Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End) was a massive hit among anime fans and lased for 12 episodes.
Released on April 10, 2019, the One Punch Man anime would return with Season 2, this time adapted by J.C. Staff (Edens:Zero, Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest), which has caused some controversy due to the disparity in animation quality between the two seasons.
Season 2 of One Punch Man stopped at Chapter 85 of the manga, early into the 92-chapter long Monster Association Arc that began in Chapter 53.
One Punch Man tells the story of Saitama, a man who has the ability to destroy anything with just one punch, which has left the hero for fun dissatisfied with life.
