MyAnimeList Score
8.50 (Season 1)
  • A subversive superhero story from the mind of ONE and Yusuke Murata
  • 4.8 rating on Crunchy Roll
  • Adapted from Manga in 2018 with 2 seasons released so far

When it comes to characters, the design of One Punch Man’s Saitama is as recognizable to fans as the likes of Dragon Ball’s Goku. One Punch Man follows Saitama, a hero who has trained himself to the point where he can defeat any enemy with just one punch. However, the ease of these fights, leads to a lack of struggle and boredom for Saitama.

Fortnite players could get equal joy and frustration from the powers of Saitama if they are implemented with a brand-new Fortnite skin.
