The anime One Punch Man has the following description: After rigorous training for three years, the ordinary Saitama has acquired immense strength that allows him to take down anyone and anything with a single punch. He decides to put his new ability to good use by becoming a hero. However, he soon grows bored of easily defeating monsters and wants someone to set him a challenge that will bring back the spark of being a hero.
Witnessing Saitama’s awesome power, Genos, a cyborg, is determined to become Saitama’s apprentice. During this time, Saitama realizes that he is not getting the recognition he deserves nor is he known by the people due to not being part of the Hero Association.
Eager to increase his reputation, Saitama decides to have Genos register with him, in exchange for taking him on as a student. Together, the two begin working to become true heroes, hoping to find strong enemies and earn respect in the process.
