The much-awaited "One-Punch Man" Season 2 will reportedly feature three villains to fight Saitama. Furthermore, there are speculations that the upcoming second installment will have 12 episodes.
Manga illustrator Yusuke Murata has confirmed that the anime development team is in the initial stage of production and they are updating the source material for the series, according to MNR Daily. The increase in the number of episodes is apparently because of the storyline tackling nine volumes. However, there is no specific information on the arcs that will be incorporated in the manga anime.
Speculations have it that as opposed to fighting one villain, "One-Punch Man" hero, Saitama, will face three new enemies, including Lord Boros, Garou, and Amai Mask. According to the original source materials, Garou trained under Silver Fang. He learned how to use "Water Stream Rock but because of his knowledge in different martial arts styles that are more powerful, he was kicked out.
Lord Boros, the head of the Dark Matter Thieves that fought with Saitama in Season 1 finale, will return to have his revenge after losing the previous battle. Amai Mask is the highest ranked A-Class hero, besides working as an actor and singer.
Amai Mask holds a belief that heroes should be role models to the public, but it is perceived that he may have a dark side of his personality that will be revealed in Season 2. The villain laughs at the S-Class heroes for their predicaments.
Meanwhile, "One-Punch Man" Season 1 dubbed in English started airing on July 16 on Adult Swim's Toonami, according to North American publisher Viz Media. Max Mittelman voices Saitama in the English dub. On the other hand, Aguilar will voice Genos, Erik Kimerer is Speed 'o' Sound Sonic, and Robbie Daymond voices Hero Mumen Rider.
There is no official preview yet for "One-Punch Man" Season 2. Therefore, current information should be taken with a grain of salt as fans wait for more information in the coming months.
