The upcoming second season of "One Punch Man" is expected to be action-packed as the anime fans' beloved hero, Saitama, is expected to face three main villains in his next set of adventures.

According to Movie News Guide, Saitama will face three adversaries in "One Punch Man" Season 2. These characters are Garou, Amai Mask and Lord Boros. To recall the Season 1 finale of "One Punch Man," Saitama was successful in defeating the villainous Lord Boros, although the rumors are rife that the fans will see more of the character next season. However, it remains a mystery how will Lord Boros come back to life, as Saitama was able to put him down during their epic hero's battle. Still, before his death, Lord Boros acknowledged Saitama's "true strength" and that the hero has still not unleashed its true potential.

Meanwhile, it will be a surprise for many "One Punch Man" fans that Garou will be a possible detractor of Saitama in Season 2. This is because the former student of S-Class rank 3 hero Bang, also known as Silver Fang, will develop such animosity towards the Earth's heroes that he would eventually antagonize Saitama's heroes' organization. Silver Fang will have no choice but to exile Garou due to the latter's growing darkness in him. Garou is also the main antagonist of the "Hero Hunt" arc of the "One Punch Man" manga series.

The last main villain expected in "One Punch Man" Season 2 is Amai Mask, rank 1 in the special A-class heroes that is also known to be an entertainer. He is a skilled hero but is also an actor and a singer. At first, Amai Mask thinks greatly of the Earth's heroes, until his mindset will be tainted with the idea that evil does not have a second chance in the world, and those who do evil things must be exterminated right away.

The fans will see more of Saitama and the rest of the Earth's mightiest heroes fighting the new faces of evil as "One Punch Man" Season 2 arrives this October.
