"One Punch Man" season 2 will not premiere anytime soon, but there are already tons of discussions as to what it will be about.

According to reports, the new season will mark the arrival of Garou, Saitama's most fearsome foe yet, and fans won't wait that long to see him in action.

Viz Media just released the ninth volume of the "One Punch Man" manga by ONE and Yusuke Murata, where the anime is based.

There, he was referred to as a "time bomb" and a "monster admirer" who attacks the Hero Association upon his arrival. Since the anime follows the manga almost to the letter, it is likely that this will be his entrance in "One Punch Man" season 2.

Garou is believed to be the only person so far to survive a punch by Saitama, which shows that he is a force to be reckoned with.

"One Punch Man" season 2 will see these two powerful warriors representing good and evil to brawl it out. Their battle is expected to be epic and one to wait for.

As to when it will happen, it might be in the initial episodes of the season. After all, the first season already covered all seven volumes of the manga.

"One Punch Man" season 2 will start things off with the story of a Class-S hero named King, who is the center of the eighth volume of the anime.

He is described as "the strongest man on earth," one who is so fearsome he even gives monsters the chills. However, he might not be as powerful as everyone thinks he is when he meets the hero for fun.

"One Punch Man" season 2 will premiere sometime next year with a mobile game. While waiting, fans can bask in the beauty of a new articulated Saitama action figure.

It comes with a standard version worth $169, which will include two heads with different facial expressions. Fans scan add $20 more to get the special edition, which comes with different outfits for when Saitama is not off doing heroics. This includes the "Oppai" sweater. Fans can check out the pictures of the action figure on the anime's website.
