One-Punch Man

A parody of the super hero genre in which the protagonist is so OP that he can defeat any opponent with one punch. Originally it started as a webcomic by One, which in turn is being adapted into a manga by Yusuke Murata, which was in turn adapted into an anime by Madhouse.


 * All a Part of the Job Saitama losing his hair, he feels is all part of the job. "Train hard everyday until your hair falls out."
 * All Aliens Have Superpowers All monsters and aliens introduced seem to have some form of power beyond a normal human.
 * All According to Plan
 * Ass Pull The words of wisdom Saitama says to Genos. He DOES say some wise things, but he's secretly just making it up on the spot.
 * Ass in Ambassador Saitama always tries to convince his foes to stop or surrender, but if/when they don't listen, they get punched.
 * Ass in a Lion Skin Plenty of the heroes in the Hero's Association are fairly mean to people, including their fellow heroes, even if they are of the same rank.
 * Asshole Victim The villains don't tend to get much development for us to feel the least bit sorry for them when Saitama punches them.
 * All There in the Manual Saitama tells people the exact way he apparently got his powers, but no one ever believes him.
 * Badass SO many.
 * Badass Normal Several of the heroes are seemingly normal human beings, such as Mumen Rider, Tank-Top Tiger, and even the S-Class hero.
 * Calling All Heroes The Hero's Association works by recruiting heroes of all sorts into their ranks in order to organize and dispatch them to deal with threats as they come up.
 * Calling Your Attacks Everyone does it. Even Mumen Rider.
 * Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu? Saitama VS... Well... Anybody.
 * Exactly What it Says on the Tin One-Punch Man. He's a dude, and all his foes tend to die from a single punch.
 * Exactly What I Meant to Say Saitama's words of wisdom to Genos..
 * Exactly As Planned Saitama wanted to become a super hero, and he got everything he wanted... Except that he became TOO strong and has begun to lose touch with his humanity.
 * Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep" People tend to address heroes by their "hero names", such as "Tornado", "Metal Bat", "Metal Knight", "Tank Top Tiger", "Mumen Rider", and... "Caped Baldy".
 * Fanservice There's a bit for everybody in some form or another.
 * Fanservice Costumes One of the characters' "costume" is a prison uniform which he sheds when he unleashes his full power and proceeds to fight nude.
 * Infinity+1 Sword Saitama's body and especially his fists. Any villain that shows up may be strong enough to give the other heroes trouble, but not Saitama. Hence the name of the whole series.
 * Made of Explodium Things that Saitama punches, seem to be made of this, but that's not true. Instead, it's just that his punches are that strong.
 * No Sell Any attack on Saitama is too weak to cause him any damage.
 * No Sense of Direction Saitama gets lost a lot it seems, hence why he ends up taking so long to respond to some of the catastrophes and monster attacks that happen.
 * Something Something Leonard Bernstein: The theme song is mostly in Japanese but has a little english.
 * Terrorists Without a Cause Many of the monsters or villains that appear in the series have little to no reason, much less something close to justification for all the pain and suffering they inflict on people.
 * Won't Work On Me: Any attack that actually hits Saitama is almost certainly a No Sell.
 * World of Badass To the point where there's an entire hero organization and even it doesn't necessarily contain every hero of their world.
