If you’re looking for a superhero who can save the day with a single punch while rocking the shiniest bald head in anime history, then One Punch Man is the show for you!
Imagine a world where villains quake in fear, not because of a brooding caped crusader, but because of a guy who looks like he just rolled out of bed—and can still defeat them in one punch. This comedy gold takes the superhero genre and flips it on its head, serving up action-packed episodes with a side of laughter.
Trust me, you won’t want to miss out on Saitama’s hysterically mundane journey to become the strongest (and most bored) hero ever.
1. One Punch Man (2015)
Episodes | 12 |
Aired | Fall 2015 |
Saitama has a rather peculiar hobby, being a superhero, but despite his heroic deeds and superhuman abilities, a shadow looms over his life. He’s become much too powerful, to the point that every opponent ends up defeated with a single punch.
The lack of challenge has driven him into a state of apathy, as he watches his life pass by having lost all enthusiasm, at least until he’s unwillingly thrust in the role of being a mentor to the young and revenge-driven Genos.
2. One Punch Man: Road to Hero (2015)
Episodes | 1 |
Aired | Fall 2015 |
OVA bundled with the 10th volume of the One Punch Man manga. It features an original story by the series’ mangaka, ONE, about the secret story of the birth of Saitama’s hero suit.
3. One Punch Man Season 2 (2019)
Episodes | 12 |
Aired | Spring 2019 |
Saitama is a hero who only became a hero for fun. After three years of “special training,” he’s become so strong that he’s practically invincible. In fact, he’s too strong—even his mightiest opponents are taken out with a single punch.
Now, the great seer Madame Shibabawa’s prediction about the Earth being doomed seems to be coming true as the frequency of monster incidents escalates.
Alongside Genos, his faithful disciple, Saitama begins his official hero duties as a member of the Hero Association, while Garou, a man utterly fascinated by monsters, makes his appearance.
4. One Punch Man 3
Episodes | TBA |
Aired | TBA |
The third season of One Punch Man.
So, if you’re ready to dive into a world where the mightiest hero is also the most hilariously underwhelming, One Punch Man is your perfect binge.
Whether you’re here for the epic battles, the endless stream of comedy gold, or just to marvel at Saitama’s gloriously bald head, this anime delivers on every front. By the end, you’ll be punching the air in triumph—though probably not as effectively as Saitama.
