Unfortunately, Saitama remains a fairly static character on an aimless journey to grasp at something he"s already forgotten how to look for. I"m mostly critical of this from a storytelling perspective, but there"s a lot of truth khổng lồ this struggle, & I think it has merits as a portrayal of the vast emptiness of depression. Saitama just doesn"t feel anything anymore, & despite trying new things (like martial arts), he can"t seem to find anything that will light a fire in his soul lượt thích those days of training to lớn be a hero did. This is fine stuff, but my main frustration with One Punch Man is that it never lets itself engage with anything it does seriously. There"s an omnipresent veneer of snark & irony that prevents even its most heartfelt moments from landing. Suiryu"s complete 180 of an arc over the past couple episodes is great, but rather than continue lớn explore that, OPM cuts it off with a joke about Saitama refusing lớn take him on as another apprentice.
One Punch Man"s inability to lớn let itself be vulnerable is probably the widest divide between it and Mob Psycho 100, which is why I find the latter lớn be an overall better work from ONE. That said, there are still shades of that thoughtfulness peppered throughout this episode. Mostly they"re in the conversation between Saitama và King, who despite his lack of any superpowers, definitely pulls his weight when it comes to lớn sage advice. It was just nice lớn see him genuinely engage with Saitama và try khổng lồ suggest new things khổng lồ alleviate his boredom, even if Saitama dismisses them all. King says, jokingly but correctly, that Saitama seems afraid of actually challenging himself. Sure, he"s looking for somebody stronger than him, but Saitama has largely forgotten what drove him to lớn be the strongest in the first place. He could just switch khổng lồ another line of work and find new challenges there, but there"s a part of Saitama that has settled into the comfort (and boredom) of routine. Luckily for him, he has friends like King who can offer to lớn beat him at video clip games in trying times. I lượt thích King.
Elsewhere, the trùm cuối attack has more or less died down (it probably helped that Saitama splattered their two strongest fighters into pieces), although there are still a few stragglers. Perilously, Puri Puri Prisoner protects people from a prickly porcupine"s pugilism. ONE"s sense of humor is a mixed bag at best, but this guy is a walking stereotype of a gay man who fights by hugging his opponent while naked, which is not great. Heroes having bizarre powers is fine on its own, but these jokes shouldn"t come at the expense of groups of people who face both serious discrimination. Elsewhere, another S Class nhân vật named Zombieman does effectively nothing, but he is voiced by Takahiro Sakurai, so he"s at least worth mentioning. Plus, his name is Zombieman. Our friend Armored Gorilla from the first season also makes an appearance! It"s nice to see that he"s mellowed out và seems lớn be living as normal a life as a talking gorilla can live.

On the villain side, Garou was completely bested by Watchdog Man"s unusual four-legged fighting style, which surprised me but delighted Garou. Unlike Saitama, whose strength is a dead end, Garou revels in the revelation that he has so much more room to grow as a fighter (and by extension, as a person). Seeing him be so happy about losing only endears me to lớn him more, and I love that he immediately shakes off his injuries when a chance to check another hero off his danh mục walks down the street. He"s done in once again by Saitama, but I"m sure this isn"t the last of their chance encounters. Meanwhile, Sonic runs into some old acquaintances who tempt him with the strength that becoming a trùm cuối has to lớn offer. He"s so singlemindedly obsessed with beating Saitama that it makes sense for him lớn resort to lớn any means he believes will help him. Also I think it"s adorable that he tried cooking the boss cell.
Now that the quái vật Association"s opening volley has ceased, the hero Association is planning their counterattack. Most of what I got out of this segment is further confirmation that their board of directors are a bunch of bureaucratic jerks who don"t understand how much their heroes suffered in this fight. They glibly compare the trùm cuối attack khổng lồ rioting & protests (an amusing inversion of what we typically hear), & they"re already gleefully thinking of ways to lớn strike back, which I imagine will carry us through the over of the season. Thus concludes an unusually low-key episode of One Punch Man, but I enjoyed it more than usual thanks to its straightforward focus on the characters. The tournament/monster uprising arc ends so inconclusively that it can"t really justify its own existence, but at least it ends stronger than it began. On to bigger và better punches! Hopefully.
