One Punch Man chapter 204 is a highly anticipated chapter for the fans. This is because following the return of the One Punch Man manga from its hiatus, fans of the series have been looking forward to the continuation of the fight between Blast and Empty Void. Unfortunately, the manga switched from the Ninjas Arc storyline and has started focusing on the Neo Heroes instead.

The previous chapter introduced fans to the Neo Leaders of the new hero organization. While some of the heroes' actions and pasts seemed questionable, others seemed genuine in their efforts to bring betterment to society. Just as the new heroes exchanged greetings with the Neo Leaders, Raiden challenged Darkshine's decision to become a trainer.

With that in mind, here we shall take a look at some predictions for the upcoming One Punch Man chapter 204.

What to expect from One Punch Man chapter 204?

One Punch Man chapter 204 may see Darkshine explain his decision to the Neo Heroes

As seen in the previous chapter, just as former S-Class Hero Superalloy Darkshine introduced himself to the Neo Leader Webigaza, he was approached by Raiden. The new Neo Hero seemingly had huge respect for Darkshine; hence, he questioned his decision to retire as a hero and become a trainer.

Therefore, the upcoming manga chapter could see Darkshine finally explain his decision to his new colleagues. With that, fans can expect to witness a flashback in the next chapter. This should also help fans realize why Darkshine was so disturbed after the fight against Garou.

One Punch Man chapter 204 could feature Raiden vs. Darkshine

The previous manga chapter did not necessarily hint at a fight between Raiden and Darkshine. However, the way the new Neo Hero was depicted to approach the new Neo Heroes trainer suggested that there was some spark between the two, almost as if Raiden was willing to challenge Darkshine's strength.

Therefore, instead of listening to Darkshine's story, Raiden could challenge him to a sumo fight. This fight could essentially see the two combatants bet on whether Darkshine will return as a hero or stay as a trainer at the Neo Heroes.

One Punch Man chapter 204 could switch back to Blast vs. Empty Void

It seems very obvious that the manga will focus on the Neo Heroes plotline for a few more chapters. However, as manga fans would know, switching between different plotlines isn't casual to manga artist Yusuke Murata. Therefore, the upcoming manga chapter could possibly see the manga switch back to the Blast vs. Empty Void fight.

This could see the manga focus on the ending to the Ninjas Arc for a few more chapters and transition completely into the Neo Heroes story arcs.
