It has been more than a month since Viz Media's “One Punch Man” Serious School Festival, which delighted fans both attending and following online with the amazing news that “One Punch Man” season 2 is just around the corner.
The most recent key visual release for “One Punch Man” season 2 features Garou, Bang's former disciple who is the foil to Saitama's idealistic personality. Aside from Saitama and Garou, the key visual also includes Genos, the cyborg disciple of Saitama.

The “One Punch Man” season 2 preview trailer, which debuted at the “One Punch Man” Serious School Festival at the Sonic City Hall in Saitama, gives fans a sneak peek at Saitama and Garou's relationship. In the trailer, Saitama and Garou are shown to have almost similar philosophies about bettering oneself, but coming from different motivations and beliefs about how to become stronger.
It seems that “One Punch Man” season 2 will be giving Saitama an opponent that is as strong and as dedicated as him for what may be the wrong reasons. Fans will surely be excited to see if and how Saitama will be able to defeat what is essentially himself if he were to become the Hero Hunter.
Fans who were not able to attend the “One Punch Man” Serious School Festival in person can still grab some of the merchandise that was exclusive to the event through mail order. Fans should take note that the post-Serious School Festival loot stock is limited, so those who want to avail of the items should think about ordering as soon as possible. Hopefully, the “One Punch Man” merchandise can help stave off the anxiety during the wait for “One Punch Man” season 2.
