One-Punch Man's Greatest Fight is Already Disappointing
Warning: Contains spoilers for One-Punch Man chapter 161
Fans of One-Punch Man have been waiting for years to see the most anticipated fight in the series, the clash between Saitama and Garou, who has essentially become a secondary protagonist in the manga. Despite all the hype, however, it seems that this battle will end just like every other Saitama's fight: with one punch.
The premise of One-Punch Man is that the protagonist, Saitama, is so powerful that no enemy or challenge poses a real threat to him. He took on opponents such as Boros or Monster King Orochi, who were presented as the «final bosses» of their respective sagas, and killed them with one punch. No explanation is given for Saitama's strength because, rather than a plot point, is a concept that underlines the whole manga. However, for that same reason, the series most often focuses on other characters, usually the other members of the Hero Association who, despite their incredible strength and powers, still have to actually fight their battles and overcome hardships, just like in any regular Shonen manga. Since his introduction, the «Hero Hunter» Garou has taken center stage as the de facto co-protagonist of One-Punch Man.
