One Punch Man chapter 190: Expected release date, what to expect, and more

Fans have been highly anticipating the release of One Punch Man chapter 190. After Atomic Samurai mistook King as the strongest swordsman, fans were left wondering what would happen next. While the manga creator, Yusuke Murata, is yet to give an update about the upcoming chapter, the manga chapters do get published biweekly. Thus, the same can be expected for the next chapter.

The previous chapter saw Atomic Samurai trying to fight King to test his strength. After King managed to cancel the fight, Atomic Samurai proposed his apple-cutting test. King was too tired to move. Thus, he did not even unsheath the sword. This made Atomic Samurai believe that King was too fast for him to observe anything.
