Everyone wants to know why Goku can’t best One Punch Man…
Did we actually say that…
We meant to say, why we feel as though this is a fight that must be analyzed..
Which will be thoroughly done early next month..but for now.. we wanted to give a quick overview as to why every Shonen based Anime fan should at least check out “One Punch Man” the anime and manga!
Let’s begin..
In a land far far away, that is pretty much unknown,there’s a city…..In this city there’s heroes that stand for justice, and battle the forces of evil. Among these superheroes that stands for justice and battles the forces of evil are the especially powerful heroes . There is one especially extraordinary hero that can slay all foes before him, with ease.
Who is this man… could he be the reincarnated Dragon – Bruce Lee?
The being that doesn’t fear anything, but fear himself? Is he in fact a descendant of a certain warrior race? Honestly we don’t know yet but we do know his name is Saitama aka Caped Boldy…aka One Hit Army…aka Knockout King…bka….One-Punch Man… the anime produced by Viz Media based on the web comic turned manga created by One.
It’s the new anime on the block that’s hitting ass , left and right!!!
Its a complete action packed to the max with big budget fight scenes anime that will leave you punching for more. Now some people will be reminded of an anime that begins with the letter D and ends with letter Z. But to me that’s where the comparison ends!! The show is not only action packed but filled with non forgettable humor and witty banter. Matter of fact, Saitama’s origin story sounds like an opening to a pretty interesting joke. So hey this big chin(ass chin) kid ,half crab killiing, supposed human, and a middle class worker’s mentality type individual walks into a bar to raise up trouble and sure enough through out the story, that’s exactly what happens. His story and almost satire back end creates good ingredients that play into him being a hero.
Not to mention stand alone characters like Genos the cyborg, who’s Saitama’ disciple and side kick, also plays key roles in the anime/manga thus far. Though Genos may not look it, sarcasm, he too carries a hefty punch with him. The pacing of the story doesn’t feel rushed or slow, but indeed just right. You will not stand idle and bored while reading this Shonen based manga or watching the anime. Now the only thing that works as a double edged sword for me is that Saitama hasn’t had a real challenge yet which explains his personality once you start watching which is somewhat lackadaisical at times. But, I’ve watched enough to tell it’s building towards something spectacular. I’m ok with knowing that it’ll eventually happen…the part where he actually fights someone that doesn’t take one punch to defeat…but instead I’m just enjoying the one hit punch man band until then and the build up of characters, plot and story until then..
But the question still remains on Shonen fans globally? Is he a match for the legendary Kakkarott! The one who has saved the universe countless time for Akira Toriyama.
A true analytical article is forth coming as well as a “Flawless Victories” battle..
Stay tuned!!
