Synopsis for One Punch Man
Seemingly ordinary and unassuming, Saitama has a rather unique hobby: being a hero. To achieve his childhood dream, he trained tirelessly for three years and lost all his hair in the process. Now Saitama is incredibly powerful, so much so that no enemy can defeat him in battle. He is so powerful that he only needs to take one hit to defeat his enemies, which has made him lose the thrill of battle and become quite boring.
All of that changes with the arrival of Genos, a 19-year-old cyborg who aspires to become Saitama's apprentice after seeing what he's capable of. Genos suggests that the two join the Hero Association to become certified heroes, recognized for their positive contributions to society, and Saitama, surprised no one knows who he is, quickly agrees. And so begins the story of One Punch Man, an action-comedy that follows an eccentric individual who longs to fight strong enemies who can hopefully give him the thrill he once felt, and maybe he will popular.
