One Punch Man Chapter 170: Release details
Unlike most shonen manga series, it doesn't follow a particular release schedule. Therefore, it can be difficult to predict when the upcoming chapter will be released. However, Murata sensei himself uploaded a tweet that confirmed the release date for the upcoming chapter of the series.
Chapter 170 will be released on August 18, 2022. Now that the manuscript has been completed, fans can expect spoilers to make their rounds on the internet two days before the chapter is released. The unofficial raw scans should be available by August 17, 2022. Viz will take some time to update its catalog, but the latest chapters will eventually be listed on the platform mentioned above.
What to expect in the upcoming chapter?
The heroes will most likely undergo a decontamination process to help them recover from acute radiation poisoning. Now that Garou escaped, some heroes might be eager to pursue the Hero Hunter, but there's not much to worry about since Garou might have a change of heart after the events that transpired in the previous chapters. Bang and Saitama might engage in a conversation with Garou, and this interaction could be explored in the upcoming chapters of the series.
