First released online in 2009, One Punch Man follows super strong hero Saitama, who is able to down any foe with a single punch. With a lack of opponents who can truly challenge him, Saitama takes on a cyborg disciple and joins the Hero Association, which employs people with superhuman abilities to protect the Earth from monsters and villains.
The first season of the anime adaptation aired in 2015, with a Season 2 broadcast in 2019.
