Fans are eagerly waiting for the release of One Punch Man chapter 178 after the events that transpired in chapter 177. While Mangaka Yusuke Murata does publish his chapters following a bi-weekly pattern, the schedule for the same has yet to be confirmed. Thus, we can only predict the release date for the upcoming chapter.
The previous chapter saw the Tsukuyomi member threatening to activate a deadly poison within Fubuki, as he revealed how he had a spy infiltrate the Blizzard group ranks to do the same. Tatsumaki managed to save Fubuki and defeat the Tsukuyomi members, as she asked Fubuki to abandon her group members. As she proceeded to threaten the group members, Saitama stopped her.

What to expect from One Punch Man chapter 178?
One Punch Man chapter 178 will most likely see Saitama fight Tatsumaki after the Caped Baldy attempted to stop the S-class hero from attacking the Blizzard group. She herself was worried about the group's members, given that she wouldn't be able to save such a big group in a time of need.
Thus, she proceeded to threaten them in hopes that they would leave their leader. However, now that Saitama stopped her, Tatsumaki's ego must have been hurt and she might prepare to fight for real against Saitama.
Meanwhile, the fight could be immediately interrupted in the next chapter as Tatsumaki herself would want to investigate the Tsukuyomi. Coincidentally, Tsukuyomi does mean the Moon God. This tagged along with the fact that Fubuki saw God through Psykos's Third Eye, must be a hint towards God's arrival on Earth.
What happened last time?
One Punch Man chapter 177, titled The Supernatural & Risks, saw the Tsukuyomi member activate a sedative that had been spiked with Fubuki's medicines. He got that done through a Tsukuyomi spy that had infiltrated the Blizzard group ranks. When the Tsukuyomi member threatened to activate a deadly poison as well, Tatsumaki stopped her rampage.
However, she managed to locate the poison within Fubuki and shot it out of her body using her esper powers. Following this, she defeated both Tsukuyomi members and asked Fubuki to leave her Blizzard group members. She then threatened the group members to leave Fubuki in hopes that they wouldn't weigh her down, which is when Saitama interrupted her.
