What to expect from One Punch Man chapter 182?
As per the original webcomic by ONE, One Punch Man chapter 182 could feature Tatsumaki ending her fight with Saitama as she might have exerted herself too much while fighting Saitama.
Moreover, this will cause her to reopen her old wounds, forcing her to stop fighting. In the webcomic, Tatsumaki stopped the fight by dropping Saitama into a crevasse on the ground before sealing it up again.
The chapter could also see the Blizzard group members reach Fubuki's location to help her fight Tatsumaki. However, it is yet to be seen if Fubuki will take advantage of her sister's weakness or make sure that she is patched up.
Meanwhile, One Punch Man chapter 182 could also shed some light on the new Tsukuyomi group and their connection to God. They were previously seen fleeing from A-City.
Recap of One Punch Man chapter 181
One Punch Man chapter 181, titled Scalp Fiction, saw Tatsumaki drag Saitama back to their original location near A-city. During their commute, Speed-o'-Sonic Sound ran after them to fight Saitama. However, Tatsumaki used her ability to send back his shurikens to him, which happened to explode on him.
Upon reaching the location, Saitama asked Tatsumaki to go all out against him, following which Tatsumaki formed a huge tornado on the open field. When Fubuki reached their location, Saitama and Tatsumaki happened to fly into the A-city. Meanwhile, the Blizzard group decided to go after Fubuki to convince her not to leave them.
