Watch the explosive One-Punch Man homage from Hulu’s comedy Miguel Wants to Fight
Miguel Wants to Fight, the comedy arriving on Hulu this week, is beautifully straightforward in its intentions. It’s the story of a high schooler, Miguel (Tyler Dean Flores), who wants to get into a fight before he moves away from his hometown, where just about everyone he knows has been in a brawl of some kind. Trouble is, as the trailer shows, getting into a fight is much harder than he thought.
In an exclusive clip courtesy of Hulu, you can see just how bad Miguel wants to scrap — so bad that he imagines taking on a schoolmate in a full anime-style throwdown inspired by One-Punch Man. There’s a hint of it in the trailer, but you can watch the full clip below.
The animated scene is a fun interlude in a movie that’s already full of pop culture references. It’s the sort of thing that immediately helps viewers understand Miguel as an anime-loving sweetheart who has aspirations to throw hands, but might have more fun just imagining it — because if his real-life fight is won with one punch, he might not be the one to throw it.
Miguel Wants to Fight arrives on Hulu Wednesday, Aug. 16. You can watch One-Punch Man there too.
