Scout is the 184th online chapter of One-Punch Man. A furious Tatsumaki discovers who reworked her recruitment ad, while a rival hero organization quietly starts poaching the talent the Hero Association hoped to sign, tempting even Genos to reconsider where he belongs.
Summary
Tatsumaki watches the reworked cut of the commercial meant to draw fresh recruits into the hero ranks, only to learn that Sweet Mask oversaw its production. The discovery leaves her seething.
Elsewhere, Hero Association scouts approach a band of vigilantes and a sumo wrestler, hoping to sign them on. Both prospects turn the offer down, explaining that they intend to enlist with a rival organization of heroes that is taking shape.
Key Events
The chapter plants the seeds of the Neo Heroes storyline, revealing that a competing hero group is already luring away recruits. Genos brings the idea up with Dr. Kuseno, weighing whether the mounting corruption inside the Hero Association makes the newcomer worth joining.
