"One Punch Man" Season 2 may be one of the year's highly anticipated anime series. Despite the lack of news about its upcoming release, latest storyline speculations teased of a battle between Saitama and Garou, as well as a new love line for the show's protagonist.
Yuusuke Murata and ONE's hit manga "One Punch Man" took the anime world by storm with its 12-episode series that was released in Japan in late 2015. Aired in July 2016, the anime's English dubbed version also captured the interest of many Western fans.
With the upcoming "One Punch Man" Season 2, viewers can expect to see Saitama's new adventures as he potentially faces old enemies, as well as new villains. Several reports even have hinted that the anime's upcoming Season 2 premiere will feature a battle between Saitama and Garou.
Posted on various community forums and threads, some fans speculated that while Saitama will unleash his strong fighting abilities, the battle will end with an unexpected twist. With Garou's formidable combat skills, it may be too much for the hero and Saitama may end up losing the fight.
At this time, it is still unclear if the said scenario will happen in the upcoming "One Punch Man" Season 2. Showrunners have yet to unveil details about the anime's new season.
Other speculations pointed to Saitama potentially being involved in a love triangle. The second season of "One Punch Man" may add the said hero's love line with two characters namely the sisters Tatsumaki and Fubuki.
As the Blizzard group leader, Fubuki is a B-class superhero with an inferiority complex. Her older sister Tatsumaki, an S-Class Rank 2 hero, has been described as an arrogant woman. Story speculations hinted that Saitama will be involved in a complicated relationship between the two sisters that will result to several problematic scenarios for the said hero.
Meanwhile, the anime's second season extension was announced in late September during the "One Punch Man Fall Festival," Anime News Network reported. Details about the upcoming series such as its character list and storyline were not disclosed. However, some fans speculated that Season 2 may feature the Hero Hunter arc.
