However, fans need not worry as the series promises to keep true to the storyline of the manga version.With the first season concluding with the defeat of Lord Boros to Saitama, the next season will unveil another story arc which is the Hero Hunter.

Another powerful villain is also slated to make an appearance in season two which is Garou. Aside from Amai Mask, Garou is a character who will challenge Saitama.The previous episode introduced Garou as a former student of Silver Fang, as he was kicked out from dojo following a rampage.

As previous episodes have shown, Saitama expressed eagerness to find a villain who will put up a great fight. Rumors claim that season 2 might finally feature that character.
