Plot

The story is set on asupercontinentversion of Earth on which powerful monsters and supervillains wreak havoc. The millionaire Agoni creates the Hero Association, which employs superheroes to fight evil. Saitama, an unassociated hero, hails from City Z and performs heroic deeds as a hobby. For three years, he has trained enough to defeat any enemy with a single punch. His unmatched strength has made him very successful, to the point where he has become bored from the lack of any serious challengers. He becomes a reluctant mentor to Genos, a cyborg seeking revenge against another cyborg who killed his family and destroyed his hometown, after Saitama defeats the monster Mosquito Girl that defeated Genos.

Saitama and Genos join the Hero Association, hoping to attain notability, but Genos instantly obtains an S-Class rank. Due to scoring low on the written exam despite having a perfect score on the physical exam, Saitama only becomes a C-Class hero. After saving people from an asteroid and then the Deep Sea King, people complained about the heroes' weakness, and Saitama chose to become the target of people's complaints in order to protect other "heroes". Later, shortly before her death, the seer Shibabawa predicts that the world is in great danger as the alien Boros invades the planet. The heroes kill the invaders and destroy Boros's ship as Saitama defeats Boros in single combat.

Monsters begin appearing faster while the roguemartial artistGaro, a former apprentice of the hero Bang, and self-dubbed "Hero Hunter," begins terrorizing heroes. Due to childhood bullying, he holds a grudge against everything "heroic". The heroes learn that the monster influx comes from the Monster Association, an organization of monsters under City Z intent on destroying the Hero Association. They attack various cities, recruit fighters by offering them "Monster Cells" that mutate humans into monsters, and kidnap a Hero Association executive's son. Garo bonds with Tareo, a child who idolizes heroes, as he hunts down more heroes, his combat prowess slowly rising. The Monster Association attempts to recruit him and kidnaps the child when Garo refuses. He storms the Monster Association HQ trying to rescue the child, but ultimately gets captured.

The Hero Association assaults the headquarters to rescue the executive's son, causing a battle that destroys City Z and kills almost every monster. Saitama meets the highest-ranked heroBlastduring the raid when he arrives to collect artifacts, who warns him of a threat known as "God". Many heroes are heavily injured when Garo emerges, mutated into a monster from the fighting. Unable to match the power of Saitama, Garo receives some of "God's" power when he meets it in a vision, causing him to emit radiation that kills all the heroes, including Genos by ripping out his core to get Saitama to fight him seriously. He briefly matches Saitama in a brutal battle that sends them across theSolar System.After Saitama defeats him, Garo becomes distraught over Tareo's death and teaches Saitama totime travelbefore God kills him. Saitama goes back in time and subdues Garo before he kills the heroes, destroying his monster mutation and cosmic power. Despite the objections of the other heroes, Saitama spares Garo and lets him flee after Tareo stops them. Only Genos, who reconnected with his core from the original timeline brought by Saitama (who seemed to remember nothing of his battle and time travel with the original Garo), remembers the entire events of the original ominous future caused by Garo.

With the Monster Association destroyed, Saitama gets promoted to A-Class for defeating Garo. As the battle destroyed his apartment, he relocates to the Hero Association's HQ in A-City. The Hero Association's poor performance causes public opinion of them to plummet. Several heroes and officials decide to retire or defect to the Neo Heroes, a rival group appearing to be more effective in handling the growing monster threats.

Leading it is the hero Blue, who claims to be the son of Blast. However, Neo Heroes have very bad intentions. They want to turn many of their members and other people outside the organization, including Hero Association members into cyborg slaves, and possibly connected to Genos' past and even Bofoi. On the same day, Genos received a final upgrade from Kuseno and Saitama's power level is being studied at a capsule; Kuseno's unexpected assassination at the hands of robot assassins was just a beginning of the robot invasion.

Production

edit

Onebegan the originalwebcomicofOne-Punch Manin 2009.[5][6]The Japanese shortened nameWanpanmanis a play on the long-running children's characterAnpanman,[7]wanpanbeing a contraction ofwanpanchi( "one punch" ).[8]One became interested in creating a comic superhero who was already the strongest in the world.[6][9]He wanted to focus on different aspects of storytelling than those normally relied on in standard superhero stories, such as everyday problems. One said: "Punching is oftentimes pretty useless against life's problems. But insideOne-Punch Man's universe, I made Saitama a sort of guy who was capable of adapting his life to the world that surrounded him, only armed with his immense power. The only obstacles he faces are mundane things, like running short of money. "[9]

One has taken several breaks from updating the webcomic. In February 2010, he put the series on hiatus, deciding to take a one-year break due to family circumstances.[10]After releasing the 109th chapter in January 2017, One took a two-year break, releasing the following chapter in April 2019.[11]When One returned to drawing in 2011, he was contacted by artistYusuke Murataabout a possible partnership in which Murata would redraw the webcomic for One. Murata had been an enormous fan ofOne-Punch Manand was ill at the time.[12]Fearing he was going to die, he contacted One. Looking back, he said, "Around that time, I was actually really sick. I broke out inhives,my inner organs were infected, and I couldn't breathe well with my windpipes [sic] swelling. I was in the hospital when I thought, 'Ah, I guess people die just like that.' If I'm going to die, I want to do something I really love to do. I want to draw manga with Mr. One. That's what I thought. "[12]Murata, already a successful manga artist, used his connections in the industry to get a publishing deal withWeekly Young Jumpcomics.[12]The manga became adigitalpublication onWeekly Young Jump'sspin-offmangawebsiteTonari no Young Jump(となりのヤングジャンプ,Tonari no Yangu Janpu),published byShueisha.[7][6][13]

Anime

edit

The first season of the anime received critical acclaim, receiving praise for its uniqueness, animation, humor, characters and fight scenes. Onreview aggregatorRotten Tomatoes,it holds an approval rating of 100% based on 12 reviews, with an average rating of 8.4/10. The site's critics consensus reads, "With its state-of-the-art animation, unorthodox hero, and gut-bustlingly funny jabs at the shounen genre,One-Punch Manis simply a knockout. "[86]

The second season received mixed reviews. Although the humor, characters, and story were still praised, reviewers unanimously criticized the drop in the quality of the animation following the change of studios. The direction, pacing, and fights were also criticized, as was the last episode for feeling like an improper season finale.[87]Screen Rantnoted that fan reaction to the season was divided, with their response to the new animation being notably negative.[88][89]They criticized the drop of quality in animation as well as the change of director, saying "One-Punch Manwas previously crisp, detailed and fluid, but many fans claim that the latest season has felt static, bland and uninspiring. This is almost certainly down to a change in director. [The series] has gone from the pinnacle of TV anime visuals to looking like just another weekly series. "However, they believed the season" improves in terms of story, character and world-building ", although they mostly attributed this to the original manga its based on rather than the anime series' staff.[89]They were very critical of the season finale, noting how the anime could have adapted one or two extra manga chapters to offer a more conclusive finale and build excitement towards a third season.[88]

IGNgave season 2 a five out of ten rating, calling it "mediocre". Although they felt the humor and characters were on par with the first season, they were very critical of the animation and pacing, saying: "[the animation was] taking horrendous shortcuts to get the fights done and dusted in as simple a way as possible. Gone are the intricately detailed character action shots, with dynamic slow motion and constantly-shifting camerawork. Instead, we have flashes, cuts to black, and machine-gun punches all reminiscent of the drawn-out fight scenes ofDragon Ball Zfrom more than twenty years ago. "They concluded saying:" Season 2 ofOne-Punch Manis a half-baked jumble of poor and lazy animation that is far more concerned with staying relevant than being crafted into something worthy of the season that came before it. If you're only in it for the advancement of the plot, it's all here. But it's also all in the manga, and that looks an awful lot better than this season. "[90]

In 2019,One-Punch Manwon the "Most In-Demand Export from Asia" at the second Global TV Demand Awards.[91]
