Japanese superhero parody has had fans eagerly anticipating for "One Punch Man" Season 2. However, its nonappearance this year spawned rumors of the anime series' cancellation. Luckily for fans, they can dismiss those reports as false, as the hugely popular saga will definitely make a comeback, albeit not in time for the last stretch of 2016.
As to what will happen on "One Punch Man" Season 2, several reports speculated that the show will follow with the original manga adaptation from mangaONE. Moreover, Saitama's superheroics are finally going to get credit in the next season--and possibly get involved in a love triangle.
Release date of 'One Punch Man' Season 2
With those exciting news, when can fans expect "One Punch Man" Season 2? According to reports, it definitely won't be out this year, as neither the showrunner nor Toonami Network have released any official announcement regarding its release date, apart from confirming its Season 2 comeback last September.
There's also no official word regarding what story arc "One Punch Man" Season 2 will be taking. However, rumors suggested that the new season may feature events from Murata's version, such as Saitama's fight against Monster Association. He is also set to defeat human monster Garou, who will be the first monster who shares the same strength and stamina with the bald-headed hero.
Possible storylines
Another possible storyline explored for "One Punch Man" Season 2 is a love triangle between him and siblings Tatsumaki and Fubuki. Fans would recall that Tatsumaki is an S-class rank 2 hero and has a superiority complex, while Fubuki is the complete opposite of her older sister: an A-class superhero who constantly lives under the shadow of Tatsumaki.
