The hit anime series, "One Punch Man," will be back for its Season 2 on the small screen later this year. It can be recalled that the first season of the hit anime series went on a season hiatus in December 2015 after it entertained its fans with its action packed yet hilarious 12 episodes.
According to Christian Times, "One Punch Man" Season 2 is ready to return by October, and that the second installment will feature Saitama with more action packed adventures in the world were villains continues to fear his one punch power.
The same publication also claims that the Manga creator of "One Punch Man," Yasuke Murata, has been working double time in order for the second season to be available on small screen on time. It is also said that Murata was already preparing the production for "One Punch Man" Season 2 since 2015.
According to Cross Map, episode one of "One Punch Man" Season 2 will be titled "The Strongest Hero." The report also added that the pilot episode will start where Season 1 ended. Moreover, the publication did also note a possible story arc for the upcoming season, and that Saitama will eventually face a villain that is equally strong as him, or could be stronger than him. The antagonist has been reported to be Garou, who is said to be a former apprentice of Silver Fang.
Meanwhile, rumors are also very loud about Saitama fighting against a class A Rank 1 hero in the name of Amai Mask. It can be remembered that Mask has a problem with Saitama, and he even blamed the lead protagonist for the extreme damage that the cities are getting every time Saitama is fighting against monsters. If the rumor is true, then the One Punch hero may have a hard time battling two powerful antagonists in "One Punch Man" Season 2.
Nevertheless, the October release date of "One Punch Man" Season 2 is still not officially confirmed; however, according to unnamed source, fans should expect the second season to be available late this year.
