One Punch Man: Road To Hero

One-Punch Man (Japanese: ワンパンマン, Hepburn: Wanpanman) is a Japanese superhero manga series created by One. It tells the story of Saitama, a superhero who, because he can defeat any opponent with a single punch, grows bored from a lack of challenge. One wrote the original webcomic manga version in early 2009.

On a supercontinent version of Earth that has four Moons, 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 leaving him bored. 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 a monster that defeated Genos.

ONE began the original webcomic of One-Punch Man in 2009.[5][6] The Japanese shortened name Wanpanman is a play on the long-running children's character Anpanman,[7] wanpan being a contraction of wanpanchi (\"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 inside One-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]

For those unfamiliar with the One-Punch Man anime and manga series, it follows a hero named Saitama who, as the title implies, can defeat any foe with one punch. Ironically though, Saitama is a nobody in a world filled to the brim with conventional anime archetype heroes and villains. The series often has other characters taking credit for Saitama's actions but he never really seems to care. Saitama's only passion stems from his desire to find a suitable challenge that'll test his abilities. 781b155fdc
