Imagine the unenviable task of animating this being left to J.C. Staff one day.
ONE PUUUUUUUUUUUNCH

This but unironically. The webcomic is far better than the manga because it explores Saitama's strength and people's interpretations and reactions of it by putting him in a large variety of scenarios. In the manga the end-goal is the punch, but in ONE's webcomic, the punches are just a means. Of course the manga will get boring this way, so it focuses on side characters more, unlike the webcomic. Basically, if you're not reading the webcomic, you will never get to experience what a great series this actually is. That is why season 1 of the anime was so great--most of the content followed the webcomic because the manga followed the webcomic. With season 2, it will be mostly filler. You can somewhat compensate bad animation with great story, but that just isn't the case here. Season 2 will have some good manga-only scenes, but that's it. None of it contributes to any over-arching story and could be removed without any consequence. Orochi isn't even in the webcomic, which is why he's such a redundant and useless character. Having Psykos remain as the head of the monsters association would be way more intimate than a generic big baddie that's teased all season. He's had no characterisation at all but he's supposed to be an important character. All this hype and he was defeated in a single chapter like every minor monster. Don't get me wrong, it was entertaining, but it's just not One Punch Man. Idiots will try to argue that it's subverting expectations, or it's just a parody. Murata is a brilliant artist but he can't write for shit

>full power beam causes a mere 1% of the destruction that the shockwave of Boros' punch caused

So he is a plants.
Leo Allen
Quite sure he's not done and this is just to show how strong he is compared to the rest of heroes
if not this manga became too repetitive
Ryan Perry
He was doomed the moment he asked Rover for help
