ONE PUNCH MAN | 2x1 REACTION "Return of the Hero!"

[@pub1]

King genuinely has the strongest superpower of all heroes - the power to summon saitama whenever he's in trouble 😂

[@JorgeBergesBarrau]

true hahaha

[@JapananimemangaInterviewtransl]

キングの脳みそは宇宙最高の処理能力を持ってるのでガンダムに乗れば最強です

[@ulfjohnsen6203]

The power is closer to reality lock - the timeline cannot progress into one w/o King. (Works the same way you can’t end up in a chess match were the king has been eliminated.)

[@dillis2188]

​@@ulfjohnsen6203Uh, no - it's not an actual 'power'. It's just a comedic gag, it really isn't that complicated. Lol

[@aaronmicalowe]

It's like the day they first met, the power to be respected was transferred from Saitama to King.

[@madhavwadhwa318]

People give too much hate to season 2, i feel like its not as best as season 1 but it still is too enjoyable

[@robertfishburn8545]

The hearts still there but there was a dip in animation. Honestly, season 2 was even funnier for me

[@upsidedownhalo]

Despite the dip in animation, the still delivered with some scenes and episodes. Like ep 3

[@nishantdeka680]

Season 2 of opm had potential but Jc staff didn't.

[@garfleguy]

​@@robertfishburn8545its sad that the part of the manga where thr story and humor really starts to pick up was handled so poorly.

Season 2 gets wayyyy too much hate

[@IndiaDecoded3301]

This is the only KZbin channel where I’ve watched every single video. I subscribed when you uploaded the first episode of Naruto, and since then, I haven’t missed a single one. At the time, I was new to anime and had only watched Naruto. But thanks to you, I started exploring other anime. Whenever you reacted to a new series, I’d watch the episodes first and then eagerly wait for your reaction. 100k subs is just around the corner-it feels like this channel is my personal favorite. I am very happy and proud of you. Thank you, Flexee, for being here and sharing your journey with us!❤❤🎉🎉

[@FlexiejayAnime]

Whoa!! .. This is so special for me to hear and means so much. We truly are on this road together and I appreciate you so much! Thank you for sharing this, and for watching all these wonderful shows along side me! Knowing this, is really touching. Thank you 🥲💓

[@DanaOtken]

King is the rare case of somebody who finds himself in a situation he was never prepared for and never tried to reach - and who then proceeds to get it pretty much right. He is honestly inspiring.

[@ettcha]

People got spoiled by Season 1 and forget it was treated as a passion project on many levels by collaborators and staff, going beyond the allotted budget. We basically got a fantastic dessert before a pretty nice dinner. Season 2 is still good in my book.

[@SDWorksYT]

Spoiled ? What ? Season 2 fans come up with the weirdest excuses.

[@guerrero_implacable]

People tend to compare season 2 animation with season 1 animation and say it's bad. But I compare season 2 with the manga and I can say It's actually bad, or at least It could've been better

[@javier.villatoro]

Both seasons are different, season 1 is a mix of uncontrollable power and excellent animation, season 2 focuses more on character development with good animation. I personally like both for what they are.

[@BigGuy3200]

@@SDWorksYT Brother it’s still a good show. Idk why everyone hates on season 2. It’s literally perfectly fine like it doesn’t have to be the most crazy animation ever.

[@Crey12321]

​​@@guerrero_implacable do you really compare animation to static pictures? Even though, we're talking about Murata's craftmanship. Some manga pannels are literal works of art. Of course animation can't 100% copy that adding a movement. Comparing to s1, s2 is visibly weaker. And I'm not a fan of all these shiny elements like Genos hands. But overall I wouldn't dare to call s2 animation bad. Maybye it could be better, but for me that's not enough to hate it.

[@lordinosukesama]

I lost count of how many times I have watched both the seasons of One Punch Man, it's humour always gets me 😆

[@franciscolira1584]

There is also a lot of people who haven't watched the OVAs: Road to Hero and the Specials. You should watch them

[@FlexiejayAnime]

I watched ALL the OVAs of S1 and S2 - everything is on my Patreon! The OVAs were amazing lol

[@evog35viii]

​@FlexiejayAnime so... it's all old news, then?

[@UFOinDisguise]

King is Class S rank "7" for a reason

[@JeyHaakon]

Nice catch! Never thought about that.

[@Rubmaster]

Was waiting like a hawk for season 2. So you bet I was on the moment it dropped l! Season 1 is my favourite anime. Season 2 was kinda slow, but still enjoyed it :)

The power of luck

[@atharvabhosale3529]

I don’t understand? What do you mean?

[@_Yombo]

​@@atharvabhosale3529 7 is the lucky number

[@zebrion5793]

The running gag is that King is actually S-ranked because he kept getting credit for all of Saitama's kills - since Saitama wasn't a registered hero. He has absurdly good luck to just happen to be there when Saitama shows up, so maybe luck actually IS a superpower.

[@PenguinDust1969]

There's a theory that King's power is that he attracts monsters like bees to honey, and since Saitama always shows up to one-punch the monsters he and King are always in the same location which is why King's gets the credit. Who killed the monster, the dorky looking bald guy or the tall dude with the wicked scar and the intense pounding of his "King Engine"?

[@fvnf3l]

i mean number 7 is a lucky number King is S-Tier hero ranked as 7th it is his power

[@mateonoski6897]

Found you a couple months ago, girl, u are the best doing reactions to anime, i love ur insight and comments. So glad i am susbcribed now n.n

[@goatkiller666]

There’s a popular fan theory about King. He thinks he’s a fraud, and bluffs monsters in his fight. But the theory is that his power is more like unconsciously summoning other hero’s to fight. He’s been around and participating in, lots of fighting, and nobody is that lucky.

[@redfieldwong717]

Yes he’s here!!

[@MadeForD]

oh wow congrats on 100k! I just noticed

[@kemasrafie]

Almost 100k girl, keep it up 💪🏻

[@frostysupreem]

Hey Flexie, Fun Fact if you are ever curious, you notice KING just nonchalantly walking in around in the background of episodes, like a game of I Spy. For instance @2:39 thats King in the back and 3:08 hes wearing the same outfit

[@KelapaWibu]

Can't wait for season 3

[@TheRealAlpha2]

Unfortunately there's no official date for it. No studio has taken up the challenge.

[@kurinaki]

​@@TheRealAlpha2didn't they dropped teaser for s3 with 2025 in it?

[@wardaddy7216]

​@@TheRealAlpha2 It's the same studio as Season 2 and there's an official teaser for Season 3 already.

[@TheRealAlpha2]

@@kurinaki did they? (Edit) okay I went back and search the information. Looks like the article I saw was from before 9 months ago when the trailer dropped. The recent character portraits news didn't filter through every outlet since then because there are quite a few people saying production is in trouble because it's taking so long to animate. Also 2025 just seems like a theoretical date, but I'm honestly convinced if they want the same level of quality as the teaser and to correct for some of the wonky stuff in S2, then it's going to take time.

youre in for peak... again. honestly, JC Staff did an amazing job with season 2. It's just that they had to follow the footsteps of Madhouse's season 1. The same studio that created some of the greatest animations of all time, most recently Frieren.

The greatest sin of S2 it's just half of an arc.

[@luorca5686]

King is saitama's life guru.😂

[@RazakelKairo1994]

Season 1 was pretty much a passion project, a miracle it even happened, so its a hard, nay, maybe even a ridiculous ask to have S2 to be at that same level. But on its own, no comparisons or whatever, its pretty darn fine. Good to great in some places even.

[@kevinbrooks9074]

Eli and James had always shared a close bond, but tonight, the tension between them felt different. At the Halloween party, amidst laughter and whispered dares, they found themselves in an impromptu game that had everyone watching. The dim lights cast soft shadows across their faces as they locked eyes, both knowing what was about to happen. Their friends cheered them on, but for Eli and James, the moment was electric with something unspoken. Slowly, they leaned toward each other, the scent of cologne mixing with excitement as their hands steadied the rim of the bowl placed teasingly inside James's waistband. As Eli lowered his face, the cool water splashed slightly against his cheeks, heightening every sensation. His breath brushed against James's stomach, causing a sharp intake of breath that only Eli noticed. His lips grazed an apple as he struggled to keep his focus, but all he could feel was James’s presence, so close, so inviting. Finally, Eli caught the apple with his teeth, but before pulling away, their eyes met again, and a soft grin spread across James's face. The room may have been filled with laughter and teasing remarks, but for the two boys, time seemed to pause in the shared intensity of the moment. When Eli finally pulled back, the apple dropped to the floor, but it didn’t matter. They were both left breathless, feeling the charge between them that no one else seemed to notice. A spark had ignited in the most unexpected of games, and they knew that this night would change things. Without a word, James’s fingers lingered a little longer at Eli's side, a silent promise of what was to come.

[@hacenbenkhelifa8662]

Can u watch mob psycho you'll love it and it has unique animation

Mob psycho _is_ good, but it's a bit of a slow burn. It really starts hitting its stride around late season 2 and into 3.

@temporal_paradox even early seasons are funny not heated but funny it's same as one punch man just different abilities

Well watched season 2 liked it a lot despite the downgrade, the introduction of my favorite character makes up for it. Also I'm caught up to the Manga and am so excited for season 3 that will never happen.

[@lothsper]

The reason why nobody knows who saitama is is because King got credit for all of saitama's kills because it didn't turn into a slug fest there were no witnesses when saitama just one punched the monster and killed them but King was always around those same monsters so King got all of the credit of saitama's kills

[@danielsipes4474]

[@mindlessmeat4055]

I like season 2 but it felt like it ended on a cliff hanger with no plans to reolve that.

[@grazzitdvram]

I am still of the belief that King is what broke Saitama's limiter, and that he has some control over where Saitama goes subconsciously. Saitama is King's power, its how it is everywhere King needs it to be to defend himself, I mean King keeps getting credit for Saitama's kills because he just so happens to be present but if Saitama wasn't present King would be dead in situation after situation. Also its just the type of convoluted craziness I've come to expect out of anime.

[@romantroman6270]

Nope, Saitama broke his limiter just through sheer hard work. This is plainly confirmed and King has nothing to do with it.

[@jlog1c]

People always find something to complain about. I think a lot of people are overly critical of season 2 and its undeserved. Season 1 does what it's intended to do by creating shock value and getting people invested with over the top animation and a lot of intensity. Season 2 does what it's supposed to by developing characters. I wouldn't say the animation is worse, just different. Season 1 is amazing but I actually enjoy the story beats in 2 much more, character exploration into Saitama and others goes way deeper.

[@TheOdMan]

I feel like a baboon because I actually like season 2 more, I just really enjoyed the storylines they had and how they where setting up for the future, and it was so long between me watching season 1 and season 2 that I didn't even notice the difference in animation the first time around, also I'm a complete Anime casual so I don't really know much about animation etc. I watched my first anime sometime in the 80's (Kimagure Orange Road) and since then I don't think I've watched more than maybe 15 anime shows and a few anime movies. It's not that I don't like it, I love it whenever I get around to watching some, but I don't know, the shows that intrigue me are few and far between. I should give more of them a try, I'm 100% certain I'm missing out on a lot of really great shows, but I guess I'm just lazy when it comes to Anime :P

S2 was enjoyable, but a noticeable drop in quality in terms of animation and sound design. The music was noticably quieter and less present. For animation they fell into a lot of old tropes of reusing frames, or doing split frame actions so you lost a lot of the fluidity the s1 fights had. the cgi on genos also wasn't done cleanly and looked very poor.
