A parody of the super hero genre in which the protagonist is so OP that he can defeat any opponent with one punch. Originally it started as a webcomic by One, which in turn is being adapted into a manga by Yusuke Murata, which was in turn adapted into an anime by Madhouse.
Tropes used in One-Punch Man include:
- All a Part of the Job Saitama losing his hair, he feels is all part of the job. "Train hard everyday until your hair falls out."
- All Aliens Have Superpowers All monsters and aliens introduced seem to have some form of power beyond a normal human.
- All According to Plan
- Ass Pull The words of wisdom Saitama says to Genos. He DOES say some wise things, but he's secretly just making it up on the spot.
- Ass in Ambassador Saitama always tries to convince his foes to stop or surrender, but if/when they don't listen, they get punched.
- Ass in a Lion Skin Plenty of the heroes in the Hero's Association are fairly mean to people, including their fellow heroes, even if they are of the same rank.
- Asshole Victim The villains don't tend to get much development for us to feel the least bit sorry for them when Saitama punches them.
- All There in the Manual Saitama tells people the exact way he apparently got his powers, but no one ever believes him.
- Badass SO many.
- Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu? Saitama VS... Well... Anybody.
- Exactly What it Says on the Tin One-Punch Man. He's a dude, and all his foes tend to die from a single punch. Which makes it that much more special when someone actually survives for more than one punch from him.
- Exactly What I Meant to Say Saitama's words of wisdom to Genos.
- Exactly As Planned Saitama wanted to become a super hero, and he got everything he wanted... Except that he became TOO strong and has begun to lose touch with his humanity.
- Made of Explodium Things that Saitama punches enemies included, seem to be made of this, but that's not true. Instead, it's just that his punches are that strong.
- Something Something Leonard Bernstein: The theme song is mostly in Japanese but has a little english.
- Won't Work On Me: Any attack that actually hits Saitama is almost certainly a No Sell.
- World of Badass To the point where there's an entire hero organization and even it doesn't necessarily contain every hero of their world.
