One-Punch Man Season 2 will finally air next year and people simply can't stop talking about it. After all, the new season's synopsis and cast list confirm that Saitama will get to face Garou in 2019.
VIZ Media has announced that One-Punch Man Season 2 will premiere in April 2019. The post included the new teaser trailer. Interestingly, the video also includes the official synopsis for the second season.
"Saitama is a hero who only became a hero for fun. After three years of 'special training,' he's become so strong that he's practically invincible. In fact, he's too strong—even his mightiest opponents are taken out with a single punch. Now, the great seer Madame Shibabawa's prediction about the Earth being doomed seems to be coming true as the frequency of monster incidents escalates. Alongside Genos, his faithful disciple, Saitama begins his official hero duties as a member of the Hero Association, while Garou, a man utterly fascinated by monsters, makes his appearance."
Garou's appearance has already been confirmed. Nevertheless, the idea that the character was mentioned in the synopsis hints at how important he will be in the second season.
Veteran voice actor Hikaru Midorikawa will join the cast of One-Punch Man Season 2. The official cast is listed below.
Saitama: Makoto Furukawa Genos: Kaito Ishikawa Speed-o'-Sound Sonic: Yuki Kaji Terrible Tornado: Aoi Yuki Silverfang: Kazuhiro Yamaji Atomic Samurai: Kenjiro Tsuda Child Emperor: Minami Takayama Metal Knight: Tessyo Genda King: Hiroki Yasumoto Zombieman: Takahiro Sakurai Drive Knight: Yoji Ueda Pig God: Daisuke Namikawa Superalloy Blackluster: Satoshi Hino Watchdog Man: Yuji Ueda Flashy Flash: Kohsuke Toriumi Tank-top Master: Katsuyuki Konishi Metal Bat: Wataru Hatano Puri-puri Prisoner: Masaya Onosaka Handsome Kamen Amai Mask: Mamoru Miyano Hellish Blizzard: Saori Hayami Mumen Rider: Yuichi Nakamura
It certainly looks like Saitama will be very busy next year. Luckily, fans will only need to wait seven months or so for the premiere.
It has not yet been confirmed if One-Punch Man Season 2 will be simulcast worldwide.
