Hunter x Hunter is set in a world where Hunters exist to perform all manner of dangerous tasks like capturing criminals and bravely searching for lost treasures in uncharted territories. And thus begins the story of One Punch Man, an action-comedy that follows an eccentric individual who longs to fight strong enemies that can hopefully give him the excitement he once felt and just maybe, he'll become popular in the process. Genos proposes that the two join the Hero Association in order to become certified heroes that will be recognized for their positive contributions to society, and Saitama, shocked that no one knows who he is, quickly agrees. This all changes with the arrival of Genos, a 19-year-old cyborg, who wishes to be Saitama's disciple after seeing what he is capable of. In fact, all it takes to defeat evildoers with just one punch has led to an unexpected problem-he is no longer able to enjoy the thrill of battling and has become quite bored. Now, Saitama is incredibly powerful, so much so that no enemy is able to defeat him in battle. In order to pursue his childhood dream, he trained relentlessly for three years-and lost all of his hair in the process. The seemingly ordinary and unimpressive Saitama has a rather unique hobby: being a hero. The meticulous mastermind detective L is already on his trail, but as Light's brilliance rivals L's, the grand chase for Kira turns into an intense battle of wits that can only end when one of them is dead.
However, the temptation is too great, and Light experiments by writing a felon's name, which disturbingly enacts his first murder.Īware of the terrifying godlike power that has fallen into his hands, Light-under the alias "Kira"-follows his wicked sense of justice with the ultimate goal of cleansing the world of all evil-doers. Light stumbles upon it, deeming the first of its rules ridiculous: the human whose name is written in this note shall die. The ingenious 17-year-old Japanese student Light Yagami and sadistic god of death Ryuk share one belief: their worlds are rotten.įor his own amusement, Ryuk drops his "Death Note" into the human world. In contrast, the realm of death gods is a humdrum, unchanging gambling den.
Brutal murders, petty thefts, and senseless violence pollute the human world.
