Our favorite reluctant hero Saitama is back, together with his student the cyborg Genos.
And in the second season, we also meet King, a low level hero who by encounters with Saitama is perceived as a top class hero.
When the city gets attacked by monster after monster, Saitama thinks it is something about King that attracts the monsters. But in the maintime, other heroes are assembling various villains for helping out, as according to a prophecy more monster disasters will be appearing, putting the faith of humanity in the scale. But a villain called Garo takes out all those present, including the three A class heroes.
Saitama in the meantime faces off against Hellish Blizzard and Speed O Sound Sonic, both after him for various reasons. When Garo takes down the S-class hero Tank Top Master, it dawns something seriously is amiss. But when he runs into Saitama he gets beaten down easily, even though they have no idea of each other what just transpired.
In order to find out more about Garo, Saitama enters a martial arts tournament disguised as Charanko, one of the heroes beaten up by the "hero hunter". Garo himself intervenes in Metal Bat trying to save the city from a dragon level Centipede monster. As Garo takes down Metal Bat, more and more monsters arrive in the city (though I must say I like Princess Supersado hehehe). Saitama in the meantime begins competing in the martial arts tournament.
The heroes are being pushed out, as control fears they might even be wiped out at the rate monsters keep joining the fight. Even Genos is defeated under the amount of monsters as more S class heroes like Terrible Tornado are called in. As the S class heroes arrive, they are starting to push back and take out some of the greater monsters.
Saitama enters the tournament final... worried about not losing his wig against favorite contestant Suiryu. But when Suiryu scorns heroes, he gets disqualified for wearinfg a wig, even though he nearly took him out. He pulled his punch, but Suiryu wants to continue the fight. But all his attacks are not even harming Saitama, who after a whole barrage just realised he needed a cool finisher, before taking Suiryu out, who does still win the tournament on the technicality of the wig. But a monster called Gokestu is on it's way to the arena.
He offers the contestants the option to become monsters, which some accept. Suiryu steps in to confront them, taking a heap of them down. But Goketsu is to much for him, and the contestants. When Bakuzan, a contestant turns monster, is about to finish him, he finally understands the value of heroes and calls for their help. Saitama answers the call though, taking Bakuzan out. Suiryuy warns Saitama of the mighty Goketsu, trying to stop him to go after it, only to see it's head land in the arena moments later.
But when Saitama arrives in the city, the monsters have suddenly all withdrawn. They kidnapped a high ranked official's son, and the Hero Association HQ gets a visit from a monster messager, just as Sonic has been tempted to try the monster cell. Garo is cornered by a group of low level heroes, but not wanting to have the child he befriended in his hideout, he confronts them albeit covered in injuries from a random encounter with Saitama again.
While they have him cornered, he recovers and takes the heroes out, even protecting the child to be injured himself some more. But as the child runs away in horror, Garo tries to recover as an explosion happens, Genos having come to an emergency beacon send by one of the low level heroes. But their fight is interrupted as Garo's old master Bang arrives on the scene, who had vowed to bring his former pupil to justice himself. As Garo is about to be defeated, the Monster Association extracts him, leaving Genos and the other fighting a giant centipede. As they are about to be overcome, King and Saitama intervene, taking the monster out...
This was another fun season for certain, and now let's see how season 3 will be soon, and how it all ends up with Garo!
