On Wednesday, June 26, 2024, the official website of Shueisha revealed the volume cover for One Punch Man volume 31. The compiled volume is set to be released in Japan on Thursday, July 4, 2024. The upcoming manga volume cover is set to feature the S-Class Hero King.

One Punch Man, originally created by ONE and adapted into a manga by Yusuke Murata, follows the story of Saitama, a hero who becomes so overpowered that he can defeat any opponent with a single punch. Hence, he desired to one day fight a monster that was strong enough to get him excited.

Nearly a week before the release of One Punch Man volume 31 on July 4, 2024, in Japan, the manga series' publisher Shueisha unveiled the cover art for the upcoming manga volume.

One Punch Man volume 31 is set to be titled 'Ultimate Hellfire Burst Wave Motion Cannon' and will feature King at its front and center. The S-Class Hero can be seen "performing" the volume titular move on the chapter cover.

Ultimate Hellfire Burst Wave Motion Cannon is one of King's biggest bluff techniques. While King himself did not know about the technique, people within the Hero Association believed it to be the S-Class Hero's Killer move.

Hence, when King was faced up against Dragon-level Monster Association members—Platinum Sperm and Evil Natural Water—Child Emperor demanded him to use that technique. Fortunately, Garou's sudden intervention led everyone to believe that King had used his killer move.

As for the compiled volume's content, the manga has yet to announce what chapters will be compiled in the upcoming volume. However, after observing the previous manga volumes, it can be assumed that volume 31 will start with chapter 157 and cover around seven chapters.

The same was observed in the previous manga volume as it compiled seven chapters in just 200 chapters. Meanwhile, the upcoming manga volume will feature 224 pages.

Unfortunately, the manga has yet to unveil the artwork for the back cover of the manga volume. Hence, hopefully, Shueisha will reveal the same in a few days, before the release of One Punch Man volume 31.
