One Punch Man synopsis
The anime is an action-comedy series that centers around a middle-aged man, Saitama. Saitama wanted to be a hero since childhood and has trained rigorously for three years in hopes of achieving his dream. Fortunately, he became powerful enough to beat his enemies with one punch but lost all of his hair.
But beating every enemy so easily made him lose motivation and he became lazy. One day, a cyborg named Genos saw Saitama's overpowered abilities and proposed they work for the Hero Association as proper heroes to save the lives of innocent people.
Bored from beating monsters in a single punch, Saitama agreed in hopes of some excitement. However, his overpowered abilities could become a problem to the natural flow of the Hero Association.
