If we recognize Bang’s strength (see number 5), then we must include his older brother Bomb.
Genos is told by fellow cyborg Drive Knight that Metal Knight is his enemy and that Genos should be wary of him, so we are yet to discover if Metal Knight is a hero or a villain. For example, he is more than ready to leave City Z to their fate at the hands of the meteor after his weapons fail to break it down. He appears more concerned with military might than saving lives. Bofoi himself is not at the battles and is piloting the robots remotely, he is never in any real danger himself, making him seem less heroic than others in the S-Class. We often see Metal Knight turning up to battles primarily to field test his new weapons or even to extract materials he believes will be useful. He is a weapons master and has a huge armament, the exact extent of which is unknown, even to the association. His strength lies less in his physical abilities and more in his intelligence. Bofoi is the brains and architect behind much of the Hero Association, he is responsible for the association’s weapons and the design of their headquarters, including the re-design after the alien invasion in season one.
These multiple fights in a row pushes him to the edge of his limits and he is only saved by the monster association that have plans for him, marking the end of season two.ĭr. His endurance is astounding as he fights severely injured and poisoned, only getting more fired up as he goes. He is defeated by Watchdog, emerging injured and bleeding, but even then he can still take on multiple A-Class heroes at once and continues to find the strength to fight Genos, Bomb, and his former teacher, Bang. He takes down multiple A-Class heroes as well as some S-Class heroes, such as Tank-Top Master. He intends to get stronger by taking out heroes, calling himself the ‘Hero Hunter,’ and we see just that. As a result, he projects onto them his feelings towards those that bullied him.

After growing up sympathizing with the monsters in TV shows and being the object of bullying because of this, Garou despises heroes. Upon doing so, he felt there was nothing else to learn, and Garou turned on his fellow students, beating them up so badly that they fled the dojo. Garou was once the disciple of Bang, learning the ‘Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist.’ He was a natural, easily progressing to become the dojo’s top student. This theme has been one of the main draws of the show and a refreshing take on the genre for anime fans. Comically, despite Saitama repeatedly taking down monstrous villains, no one really knows who he is, as his deeds are always attributed to other heroes. As he clearly states throughout the show, he is a hero for fun. Saitama has no such backstory or quest for power. The show is considered a satire of the traditional hero trope, often overdoing the cliches in regards to all the surrounding characters, such as the handsome hero with a dark past fighting for vengeance in the form of Saitama’s disciple, Genos. The anime is set in a world where there are threats on a daily basis from natural disasters or monsters which are then handled by heroes.

Saitama, our protagonist, is so over-powered that he can destroy all in front of him with one punch, as the series title implies. Season one of the One Punch Man anime first aired back in 2015, with fans enjoying the superhero genre with a twist.
