In fact, he’s too strong—even his mightiest opponents are taken out with a single punch. Alongside Genos, his faithful disciple, Saitama performs his official hero duties as a member of the Hero Association.

One day, monsters claiming to be from the Monster Association suddenly appeared, taking a child of Hero Association executive as a hostage. The S-class heroes gather and plan a raid on the Monster Association hideout to rescue the hostage. Meanwhile, Garou, a ‘human monster’ who was taken by the Monster Association during a battle with the heroes, awakens in the Monster Association hideout.”

Adapted from the original webcomic created by ONE, One-Punch Man revolves around a hero named Saitama who can knock out any opponent with just a single punch, leading him to seek one who can truly challenge his abilities. Along with his cyborg disciple Genos, Saitama goes on to join the Hero Association, which employs people with superhuman abilities to protect the Earth from monsters and villains.

The anime premiered in 2015, receiving a second season in 2019.
