What to expect in One Punch Man chapter 183?

Signs point towards the series entering a new story arc - Neo Heroes Introduction arc. Assuming Murata sensei adapts the webcomic without altering many details, the upcoming chapter will introduce a new organization called Hunters, or Neo Hunters.

The chapter will emphasize how the Hero Association is struggling to maintain peace and order. Not only are they struggling with manpower, but they’re also struggling financially.

The Hero Association was paid off by Tsukuyomi in exchange for Psykos. Their lack of funds is also why they built a safe haven for citizens and auctioned it to the highest bidding buyers.

Naturally, the Hunters witnessed the Hero Association’s moral compass being skewed. They had a rather bold claim stating that the world would witness the downfall of the Hero Association, and they would eventually be replaced. Accel, the founder and leader of Neo Hunters, would be approached by a member of the Hero Association.

His team would be offered medical support and armory, and Accel would be made an S-class hero. However, he not only refuses the offer but also issues a fair warning to the Hero Association representative. The upcoming chapter should emphasize the things that are happening behind the scenes. Neo Hunters are now approaching sponsors offering money to the Hero Association.

Even heroes from the Hero Association are looking to join the new vigilante group. This could spell trouble for the organization and cause an internal war. How will the heroes react in this extremely sensitive situation?
