On Wednesday, June 12, 2024, One Punch Man manga creator Yusuke Murata announced that the manga series's next chapter will be delayed by one week. Hence, the redrawn One Punch Man chapter 201 will be released on Thursday, June 20, 2024.

One Punch Man, created by ONE and given a manga adaptation by Yusuke Murata, is a Japanese manga series serialized in Shueisha's Tonari no Young Jump website in June 2012. Since then, the manga has been compiled into 30 manga volumes, having sold over 30 million copies worldwide.

One Punch Man manga delayed by one week

On Wednesday, June 12, 2024, One Punch Man manga creator Yusuke Murata announced through his official X (formerly Twitter) account that the series' next chapter release has been scheduled for next week. He apologized to the fans, asking them to wait some more time before the next manga chapter's release.

This means that the redrawn One Punch Man chapter 201 will be released on Thursday, June 20, 2024, at 12 AM JST in Japan.

Given the release date for the previous chapter and the manga's biweekly release schedule, the manga chapter should have been released on Thursday, June 13, 2024. Nevertheless, the manga went on a sudden break, leaving fans to wait for another week before they learn the events that take place in the redrawn One Punch Man chapter 201.


What to expect from the redrawn One Punch Man chapter 201?

Redrawn One Punch Man chapter 201 will most likely reveal if God managed to convert Flashy Flash into a monster or not. The manga's previous version saw Speed-o'-Sound Sonic break out of his God illusion sequence and help Flashy Flash get out of his illusion. Hence, there is a likely chance that the same events could take place in the redrawn One Punch Man chapter 201.

If such a development does take place, fans can expect to see Flashy Flash and Speed-o'-Sound Sonic face Empty Void in the next chapter. While this happened in the manga's previous version as well, the latest version of Empty Void is seemingly far stronger. Hence, the two ninjas may have a tough time fighting the former ninja village founder.

Otherwise, there is also the possibility that Blast may arrive to help the two ninjas fight Empty Void. However, it is to be seen if Saitama and Manako join him or not.
