‘One Punch Man’ Season 2: Will Have Garou As Powerful Villain, Big Challenge For Saitama

The making of One Punch Man Season 2 is still on its way, but if you're already eager to find out what will happen next to the protagonist Saitama, then you might have to wait a little bit longer. It seems that the highly-anticipated anime series is scheduled to release by summer and recent announcements on the entry of a new villain at AnimeJapan 2018, hints that the production team is trying to complete it as early as possible.

The announcement of One Punch Man Season 2 was done earlier this year, but only just a small amount of information was made public to intensify the viewers' curiosity. As far as the storyline for the second season is concerned, it was hinted that the viewers would see the returning of a mysterious character from the first season.

According to Geek, One Punch Man Season 2 will introduce a new antagonist after the defeat of Lord Boros during the completion of the first season. This big superpower villain is said to be none other than Garou (aka Garo) who was previously featured in Season 1's tenth episode. However, a plenty of viewers might not have experienced his presence as Garou in the previous season as he just appeared in a cameo role. Although his appearance was not fully revealed in the previous season, his name was mentioned in the episode.

Garou is a former disciple of Bang, who was ostracized by his master for mercilessly beating up the other disciples. The original manga issue of One Punch Man suggests that he was originally a good-hearted person but he declared to be the top villain and subsequently started beating any challengers including top superheroes who were safeguarding Sitch (who was recruiting superheroes).

Despite knowing his master Bang's "Fist of Flowing Water Crushing Rock" technique, he does not require using it against any opponent unless he has no other alternative. He is considered to be more powerful than Saitama in Season 2. This time, the lead character, Saitama is going to confront a huge challenge as Garou cannot be defeated easily by applying just punching power.
