Avid "One Punch Man" fans have been looking forward to the anime's return to the small screens with Season 2. Latest spoiler news hinted of Genos' transformation from Saitama's sidekick to his enemy after a misunderstanding ruined their friendship.
When the "One Punch Man" Season 2 extension was confirmed in September, many speculations about the new season's storyline surfaced. Some of the rumors pointed to Saitama meeting both new and old enemies including Lord Boros.
Other storyline speculations for "One Punch Man" Season 2 indicated that the anime's protagonist will become a different person who is very vulnerable given his loss in power. Despite having defeated Lord Boros in Season 1 of the anime, the said villain will return in Season 2 to try and defeat Saitama while he is in a weakened state.
However, several reports teased that apart from Lord Boros, Saitama may have to face Genos in the battle. As a sidekick to the hero, Genos may become frustrated with Saitama and a misunderstanding between the two characters will ensue.
The rift between Saitama and Genos may potentially push the sidekick to consider a partnership with Lord Boros. With Genos' powers and Lord Boros' plans, the unexpected tandem will prove to be very challenging for Saitama in "One Punch Man" Season 2.
Aside from a potential battle with Genos, several reports also mentioned of another villain who will join forces with Lord Boros namely Metal Bat. Rumored to have stronger powers and abilities, Saitama may need to come up with a different strategy in defeating the said villain.
Meanwhile, several fans of the anime series are also expecting to see an interesting love story in "One Punch Man" Season 2. Involving Saitama and two sisters, the anime's protagonist might get involved in a love triangle between Tatsumaki and Fubuki.
