The next season of "One-Punch Man" will be focusing on Saitama's past, specifically on how he was able to acquire his punching prowess. Since the anime series aired on Toonami last 2015, it already became a household phenomenon.
Now that the TV program has ended last Oct. 8, and with the recent announcement that it will be renewed for a second season, fans are now wondering what will be featured in the upcoming installment.
"One-Punch Man" was just a simple webcomic created by the Enigmatic One which was later adapted into manga by Yusuke Murata. Murata's adaptation became remarkable since it somewhat key-framed the action sequences like an anime, Forbes reported.
"One-Punch Man" features the story of Saitama, a bald guy who wants to be a hero only for fun. He has an enormous punching power that he finds as dilemma since he easily defeats his opponents with only one punch, the report added.
Season 2 is expected to reveal the origin of Saitama's power. It can be recalled that Saitama said he did 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats and 10-km run every day for 3 years in order to achieve his strength. But some believe there is more to what caused his punching prowess.
Compared to the first season which only had 12 episodes, the next season will have 19 episodes which means longer air time as well. For the new villain that Saitama will be facing, several speculations have already hinted that season 2 nemesis will revolve mostly on Garou adn the Human Monster Arc.
Garou is the former student of Bang/Silver Fang whom the latter trained in his dojo to teach the "Water Stream Rock" style of martial arts. Garou who appeared to favor the evil by demonstrating his powers to all the dojo's students was exiled by Silver Fang.
According to One Punch Man Wikia, Garou has been named as "Human Monster" by the Hero Association because of his mysterious being. In the Human Monster Saga, Garou is the primary villain.
As described by the post, Garou possesses yellow eyes and a white spiky hair. Although the antagonist is considered evil by majority, he fights heroes without killing them. He also has a soft spot for children.
During an encounter with a Busaiku in the park who asked him about heroes, he told the child not to address him with "mister." He also refused to fight with an opponent during an incident where Zenko was around.
