One Punch Man Fans Outraged Over Yet Another Ninja Village Arc Redraw

Summary

  • One Punch Man manga stuck in constant redraws of the same arc, angering fans.
  • Lack of progress in the story since 2023, potentially delaying advancement for another year.
  • Uncertain future for One Punch Man due to constant arc redrawing and disappointing Season 2.

A few years back, I found myself deeply engrossed in the world of One Punch Man – a phenomenal anime that left an indelible mark on the industry! While it’s true that its initial wave of popularity may have subsided due to certain challenges faced by both the anime and manga, the series continues to boast a dedicated fanbase who eagerly await new developments.

To clarify, the manga, beautifully drawn by Yusuke Murata, is encountering some problems unique to it. One significant challenge currently being faced is repetitively re-drawing the same story arc, making this the second time in a row. This has left numerous fans feeling disgruntled, and understandably so.

One Punch Man Manga To Redraw The Same Arc Again

Ninja Village arc To Be Remade

On January 22nd, 2025, enthusiasts of “One Punch Man” unveiled a fresh instalment in the series, to their surprise finding it wasn’t a new storyline but rather a re-drawing. This re-draw focused on chapter 193 of the One Punch Man manga, signifying the start of the Ninja Village story arc.

Many fans of the “One Punch Man” series have expressed frustration due to this being the third instance that the same arc is being redrawn. This repetition has halted the progression of the story altogether, as the creators, One and Murata, seem to be frequently revisiting a previously completed arc, rather than moving forward with new developments.

In simple terms, the narrative of One Punch Man hasn’t advanced beyond 2023. This implies that the manga has been rehashing the Ninja Village arc for about 1.5 years, and there’s a strong likelihood it could remain stagnant in this arc for another year.

Readers are aware that the upcoming chapter will also be a re-draw, as evident from Murata’s tweet on his Twitter account marked with an ‘X’.

What This Means for The Future of One Punch Man

One Punch Man finds himself in a complex predicament since the author and artist of the series continue to rework the same plotline. These modifications aren’t just about enhancing the artwork or panel arrangement, but occasionally alter the narrative itself, giving the impression that they are consistently testing their audience with these changes.

After the disappointing performance of Season 2 of the One Punch Man anime, it’s no surprise that subsequent events didn’t meet the expectations set by the initial season.

Currently, it seems the future of One Punch Man isn’t overly promising, considering its manga sales haven’t been particularly impressive. Still, devoted fans can only cross their fingers that once these revisions are completed, the upcoming arc will captivate readers once more and provide an entertaining journey all over again.
