"One Punch Man" chapter 72 enters a brand new arc featuring a brand new enemy that could seriously challenge the great Saitama. However, the focus on the current chapter is on building up the enemy and a possible role of Suiryu in getting most villains out of the way for Saitama Gouketsu showdown.
Chapter 72 Recap
The latest chapter of the popular action/comedy manga series "One Punch Man" continues on Manga Stream. The chapter starts with the arrival of Gouketsu - a former champion who opted to become part of the Monsters Alliance so he could obtain more power. He's in the stadium with a proposition: eat monster cells that will transform them into monsters or die.
He also showed his immense power by easily dispatching the heroes and fighters who opted to oppose him. This prompted some fighters to eat the monster cells where they immediately experience transformation that heighten their intrinsic powers.
The chapter ends with everyone in panic with the monster transformation and Gouketsu's power. However, Suiryu seemed unfazed with the situation as he made an agreement with a beautiful girl nearby that they go out on a date if he defeats the monsters.
Chapter 73 Spoilers/Predictions
The Reddit discussion on the latest chapter focuses on the fate of Suiryu. Although Suiryu has immense power as a martial artist, he's fate is sealed because of Gouketsu's immense power. He should be able to fight other martial artists who became monsters and he'll have a chance to inflict some pain against the formidable enemy but he'll end up defeated.
On the other hand, Saitama's presence is noticeably absent in the current chapter. This is most likely set-up to highlight Suiryu's fight with various monsters. Of course, Saitama should handle Gouketsu with no problem at all and he'll end up fighting Orochi - the monster who offered Gouketsu immense power after his defeat.
