One Punch Man is a series that exploded into the mainstream media with a bang and owes it all to a well-developed premise that enables some really amusing situations. There are some crazy combat moments in the show that include the main as well as the side characters.
For anime aficionados, the characters' unusual or amusing quirks and personalities are what make them stand out in this show's concept, which is essentially an action/comedy. Some of the references serve mostly as one-off jokes, while others have a deeper connection to the story.
10 One Punch Man side characters, ranked from strongest to weakest
1) Tatsumaki
According to the One Punch Man's Hero Association's most recent ranking, Tatsumaki is the second-best S-Class hero. Only Blast, the famous S-Class Hero, is more revered than she is.
After her fight with Psykos-Orochi, Tatsumaki can be considered the strongest side character in the series because very little is known about Blast and his exact powers.
In the One Punch Man universe, she is considered the most powerful. Using her telepathic powers, she can easily demolish a city without the need for a break. Tornado of Terror is a name she was given for this same reason.
2) Blast
Blast the rank 1 S-class hero, is considered the strongest guy in the Hero association however his powers are a mystery and due to his lack of appearance in the manga nothing much can be said about his power levels. We have to consider him Strong as he only appears when the world ending events.
Blast recently made a surprising debut in chapter 139 which gave a slight glimpse of his power he possesses the ability to generate hyperspace portals which allow him to teleport to different places and travel into another dimension.
Fans want more from this character and it is evident from the recent appearance of Blast that Murata is saving him for another special story arc.
3) Garou
Garou, the former top student of Silver Fang, was a person with an arrogant, vengeful demeanour fueled by a vehement dislike of heroes, Garou made his debut as a foe also known as the Hero Hunter.
Garou is a talented martial artist who mastered the Flowing Water Fist Fighting Style from Bang and made it his own. Apart from his fighting style, Garou's main ability is to quickly evolve during battle. This allows him to overwhelm his opponents rather easily.
Garou reached the pinnacle of his power when God bestowed it on him. Garou could be considered the strongest character on the list if he hadn't lost his cosmic powers while fighting Saitama.
4) Silver Fang
One Punch Man's supporting character, Bang, is also known as Silver Fang. He's the creator and teacher of Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, and formerly a professional hero. He was formerly the 3rd highest-ranked S-Class hero of the Hero Association and was recognized as one of its most powerful heroes.
Bang is a compassionate but harsh dojo teacher who has become a friend of the protagonist. Although neither Genos nor Saitama takes his advice very seriously, Bang is extremely intelligent and tries to persuade Garou to join the good side, but fails at every occasion.
5) Atomic Samurai
One of the most badass characters in the series is Atomic Samurai, who only respects people who are stronger than him. After Bang's retirement, Atomic is the next in line to become the rank 3 hero of the association.
Atomic Samurai is a highly skilled swordsman who wields his katana with unparalleled precision and speed. Apart from that, his ability called the Atomic Slash, which can cut monsters down to the size of an atom, makes him one of the strongest characters in the series.
6) Pig God
Pig God, sometimes referred to as the God of Gluttony is an Association Hero with the S-class rank. Pig God is a sluggish hero who constantly opens his mouth to take in food to him, it's like breathing. But he has to do this to satisfy his insatiable thirst for his unusual abilities.
Pig God has complete control over his digestive system, which can swiftly digest food as he consumes it, especially when it comes to monsters. He can even swallow people whole to protect them, as he did when he saved three Atomic Samurai pupils.
During his tenure, Pig God has battled several demon-level foes including Eyesight and The Great Food Tub and easily defeated or digested them. He has even fought a dragon-class foe and survived. Pig God is a powerful and capable hero who has repeatedly demonstrated his value.
7) Watchdog Man
Watchdog Man is another hero from the series whose powers and abilities are more mysterious than the Rank 1 hero Blast. Watchdog man dresses like a cute furry dog and protects his City-Q from any kind of threat.
Given that City-Q is the association's safest city, he is regarded as one of the strongest heroes. Although nothing is known about his abilities, he managed to fight the post-monster Garou without losing his cool.
His abilities may be comparable to or superior to those of other heroes in the organisation, according to certain fans' theories. Some people also think he could have comparable strength to Saitama.
8) Metal Bat
The man with the pompadour, this hot-headed, bat-wielding hero is known as Metal Bat and is frequently the first to act, whether for good or ill.
His signature bat's strong attack is enough to defeat tough opponents such as Senior Centipede. The more enraged he becomes, the more powerful his special abilities become in One Punch Man.
Metal Bat's lone vulnerability is that his younger sister doesn't want to battle monsters, yet he is a character to be on the lookout for since he has the eyes of a limit-breaker like Saitama.
9) Metal Knight- Dr. Bofoi
In One Punch Man, Metal Knight dispatched his bots to search the debris of the Thieves' vessel for anything that could be helpful, showing that he is fascinated with sophisticated technology.
Dr Bofoi, also known as Metal Knight, is a robotics prodigy who controls thousands of unmanned robots. He is yet another mysterious character in the series whose precise powers and skills remain unknown despite several appearances.
Although being a renowned superhero, he lacks compassion if it does not serve his interests. Even when an asteroid threatens Z-City, his only concern is the dependability of his new rockets.
10) Flashy Flash
The quickest character in the series is Flashly Flash, an S-class Hero Association rank 12 member. He was the former top ninja of the village where Speed of Sound Sonic is from, and he graduated with the 44th graduating class.
Flashy is one of the strongest members of the association, and in the Monster Association arc, Flashy demonstrated his true might when he defeated Hellfire Flame and Gale Wind, two formidable dragon-level monsters noted for their incredible speed, without taking any damage or showing any signs of weariness.
In addition to his power, Flashy has super-fast thinking and is a strategic combatant. He even received a compliment for his speed from Saitama, who described him as somewhat quick.
In summation
As is the nature of the series, the power rating of the show has always been and will continue to be a source of discussion among fans. What makes the One Punch Man universe intriguing is that this series focuses on its supporting cast and shifts the focus from the protagonist to keep the viewer wanting more.
