One-Punch Man Ep. 3 - The Obsessive Scientist


Now, we finally got to discover the secret of Saitama's power, and the biggest villain of the show. Or not.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

SPOILERS


After meeting with some genetically altered animals and defeating them, Saitama and Genos go to House of Evolution to fight the strongest cyborg. And be back in time for the bargain sale at the supermarket. Dr. Genus prepares traps in the building's 8 floors, only to have it exploded in a single blow.


The fight with Carnage Kabuto was awesome, even if it ended in... a single punch. But we already knew that, right? Anyway, it was good to watch, for both the fighting and the funny scenes. It's incredible that everything is solved or done in a playful and unusual way. The 'big revelation' of this episode was Saitama's training routine. But of course, it's totally implausible and impossible to have THAT much effect on someone's strength.


This episode was what we already expected: crazy plots, jokes, and one punch to end it all. But that doesn't mean it wasn't a great episode. I look forward to seeing if Dr. Genus will appear again and what's the limit to the impossible power both heroes and villains are showing.
Final thoughts:
  • Loved that, instead of going floor-by-floor, they just exploded the whole building;
  • Try listening to the Rocky theme while you watch the training scene ;)
  • BARGAIN DAY *runs to the market*

Rating: 5 stars
