The anime One Punch Man has the following description: The story takes place in the fictional Z City in Japan, a place plagued by the mysterious appearance of strange monsters that unleash disasters of catastrophic proportions. The plot revolves around Saitama, a superhero endowed with an awesome power that allows him to defeat any enemy with a single blow. However, this exceptional ability becomes a source of tedium for him, as he longs to find opponents who can challenge his prowess.
As the days go by, Saitama strikes up friendships, confronts enemies and takes the cyborg Genos under his wing. Together, they join the Heroes’ Association in hopes of gaining recognition for their constant efforts in the fight against evil, and although he manages to defeat numerous opponents that even the most accomplished heroes cannot defeat, Saitama struggles to gain the appreciation he truly deserves for his actions.
Despite his ordinary appearance, Saitama faces scrutiny and discrimination from the majority, some even labeling him an impostor. However, a small group of individuals manage to discern beyond his superficial appearance, recognizing both his exceptional talent and his modesty.
