About One Punch Man

Saitama, an ordinary guy who trained hard for three years, got super strong. He can knock out anything with just one punch. So, he decides to become a hero.

But, he gets bored because beating bad guys is way too easy for him. He wants a real challenge, something to make him feel like a hero again.

Then, Genos, a cyborg, sees Saitama’s incredible power and wants to learn from him. Saitama sees that people don’t know him or give him credit because he’s not part of the Hero Association.

To fix this, he tells Genos to register with him, and in return, he’ll teach him. Together, they set out to become real heroes, looking for tough enemies and trying to earn respect along the way.
