One-Punch Man Manga Rewrites Latest Chapter With Huge Changes

By Nick Valdez

One-Punch Man has really taken fans by surprise by releasing a new version of the manga's most recent chapter that makes some huge changes to the events that went down in the previous version! The fight between Saitama and Garou has reached its climax as the Human Monster saga nears its grand finale, and the previous chapter of the series had teased that the two of them would come to a different kind of understanding as Saitama wanted to talk things through and figure out why Garou continued to morph his body in his attempts to become the ultimate evil. But that's not the case anymore.

While that might have been what happened before, the newest chapter of One-Punch Man hitting Viz Media's digital Shonen Jump library actually changes the events of the fight in some significant ways. In fact, while the fight between the two seemed to be nearing its finale as they were going to settle it in a much different matter, the new (and now the truly canonical) version of Chapter 162 of the series has actually kicked off a whole new phase of the fight between the two of them instead. 

The rewritten version of Chapter 162 of One-Punch Man starts off in the same way as before as Saitama is easily pushing back all of Garou's monstrous attacks. But rather than Garou's attacks inadvertently helping people and proving that he's not as monstrous as he thought he was, this time he continues to do damage to the Earth and refuses to relent despite the gap of strength between the two of them. Instead of choosing to die at Saitama's hand, Garou refuses to give up and becomes more monsterized than before. 

With the previous version of the chapter ending with Saitama sitting Garou down for a heavy conversation, this new version instead kicks the fight into high gear as the godly presence teased before fully emerges and bonds itself with Garou. Tapping into the hero hunter's rage over his weakness, this entity gives Garou a cosmic new level of power as the fighter prepares for a much more violent version of the fight with Saitama than seen previously. 

It's a highly dramatic shift from the version of the fight we got previously, so how do you feel about the changes? Which version of the chapter did you prefer?
