Late in September, the official Twitter account of "One Punch Man" confirmed through a teaser image that Saitama's story will continue with a second season, although an exact release date has yet to be determined. Even before "One Punch Man" Season 2 was confirmed to happen, rumors about its plot have made the rounds. Now that the second season has been officially announced, more of these plot theories emerged.
While fans are waiting for the official release date of "One Punch Man" Season 2, rumors about what could happen next are getting stronger. Latest reports suggest that the brand new season will bring to light Saitama's history and how he's come to be the world's strongest superhero. Fans of the hit anime series know very well that Saitama underwent rigorous training for him to possess such superhuman strength. But some people are still not convinced that's all the protagonist did to achieve his ability.
"One Punch Man" Season 2 is expected to reveal why Saitama has his powers. It's hard for some fans to believe that he got his powerful punch from just years of training and that there has to be something that happened to him in the past. Rumor has it that Saitama may have lost someone dear to him, which then unleashed his inner strength. Others speculate that a mystical being may have granted him super powers or he is destined to be the "chosen one". However, fans over at Reddit beg to differ and insist that sheer will power and determination was all it took for Saitama to become who he is.
It was even believed that Saitama had remarkable strength all the while, but with years of routine training, the real strength and his potential was brought out. Some "One Punch Man" Season 2 theories suggest that there is no other reason why Saitama is super strong.
In addition, "One Punch Man's" moral is said to be that super strength is possible to achieve if there's will power and dedication. Fans will know for sure if indeed Saitama's strength is caused by anything else when "One Punch Man" Season 2 gets released. The anime series is expected to premiere sometime in 2017.
