We all know that anime openings get boring after marathoning the whole season, but this anime opening had one thing that set it apart… it was EPIC! Who didn’t scream along “ONE PUNCH!” when this came on screen?
9. Saitama vs a Mosquito
I hear the sound of buzzing

(Episode 2 season 1) No matter where you live you have encountered mosquitoes. How annoying they are, you don’t hear them and you can barely see their skinny bodies flying by, it’s no fun at all. But watching our beloved hero deal with our everyday struggles, “This does put a smile on my face.”
8. Genos backstory
Zip it!

(Episode 2 Season 1) Although Genos is possibly one of the coolest characters, other than Saitama himself, he tends to talk too much. The way Saitama handled this situation was as golden as his suit. Anyone else quotes this when their friends talk too much?
7. Found you
He had to do it to them

(Episode 3 Season 1) After easily killing Beast King, Ground dragon and epiphany. Honestly, there should’ve been a voiceover that goes “and that’s when he knew he... F’d up.” Right as Ground Dragon thinks he is able to escape Saitama, he is punched into the sky never to be seen again.
6. Sassy lost child
I'm fun size!

(Episode 10 Season 1) Tornado sadly suffers from a God complex. The only cure? Saitama’s lack of interest and straight up savageness! Although she is powerful, she makes a grave mistake, only looking at the rank and underestimating this hero. Watch how Saitama masterfully handles her without breaking a sweat.
5. Between Saitama and a hard place
That Oh Crap moment

(Episode 5 Season 1) Genos thinks he can take on Saitama with his new tech… but when Saitama finally gets serious about fighting he shows Genos what it is to fear Death. “No matter how the wind howls, the mountain will not bow to it,” clearly Saitama hasn’t seen Mulan and most likely won’t care because if the mountain won’t bow, it will break.
4. OK
IDGAF

(Episode 12 Season 1) “UNLIMITED POWER!” Boros armor has been destroyed, but is our hero worried? Actually, he seems quite unbothered… the audience, on the other hand, is very worried and/or intrigued. For the first time, the villain doesn't die from Saitama’s punch!
3. Deep Sea King vs Mumen Rider
Super Saiyan scream

(Episode 9 Season 1) Mumen Rider has finally arrived! He fights tirelessly and doesn’t give up even though he doesn’t have a chance against Deep Sea King. After a little boy cheers him on he releases his battle cry and charges the king… just to be cruelly knocked out. Ouch! This scene went from heartwarming to just plain sad in less than 10 seconds.
2. Saitama vs Boros
Titans clash

(Episode 12 Season 1) WHAAT?! This fight isn’t number 1? No. Although it was the best fight we’ve seen since Saitama’s dream in Episode 1, it’s amazing fighting animation, music, and tense moments are nothing against good ol’ fashioned strength of character. A hero isn’t just all strength, but it sure is fun when they are OP.
1. Saitama takes the credit
Minecraft "oof" sound

(Episode 9 Season 1) As a race in general, humans tend to suck and Saitama knows that. Once he showed up and killed Deep Sea King in one hit, the crowd was cheering for the other heroes, but now they turned their attention to him. Saitama, knowing they would forget the efforts of all the heroes, humbly sacrificed his own image, making himself look like a weak fraud. I believe we all felt like Genos at that moment when he said, “If this is the path you choose to walk... I will not interfere.”
