One Punch Man is one of the manga and anime series that is very unique because the main character in the anime has a deadly punch that can end a fight in the blink of an eye.
The story of this anime takes the theme of the world of heroes and the world of monsters that have various levels of threat. In the following, we will review a list of the strongest characters in the OPM story. Who are they? Come on, let's see directly below!
10. Gouketsu
This Dragon-level threat monster is one of the main enemies that appear in the Super Fight arc. Initially, he is an ordinary human being as well as the champion of the first Super Fight tournament. However, he was defeated by the Monster Orochi and then turned into a monster.
Gouketsu's power became even more terrifying after he became a monster. He can defeat Genos in just one hit. Unfortunately, Gouketsu's strength is still far behind when compared to Saitama's.
9. Bang
Even though he is no longer young, this S-class hero is a very strong and talented martial arts expert. He is the teacher of Garou who had rioted with the heroes. If Garou is troublesome enough, Bang's strength is of course more terrifying.
Bang may not be like Saitama who is able to destroy a meteor, but his strength is capable of destroying meteor fragments. On top of that, he had also fought wildly against Elder Centipede and shattered the creature's armored shell. Even though at that time he received help from Bomb, it was enough to prove the greatness of Bang.
8. Black Sperm
This one monster's strength is not much terrible compared to Gouketsu. Black Sperm is classified as a monster with the threat level of a dragon whose strength is very intimidating and capable of making heroes of the Atomic Samurai class powerless.
In addition to having the ability to replicate, Black Sperm also has a terrible regeneration ability. Not only that, he can also transform into a Golden Sperm which makes his strength increase many times.
7. Elder Centipede
From his size alone, Elder Centipede already looks terrible and he has the potential to bring destruction around him. Elder Centipede's strength is able to make it difficult for several heroes against him, such as Genos, Bang, and Bomb.
That said, only a few heroes are able to fight against this monster. An example is Blast. The mysterious hero had fought against this monster. However, this monster is actually still alive after fighting against Blast.
6. Garou
This student from Bang is a very good martial arts fighter who also has terrible strength. He is the main enemy for heroes whose existence is very troubling. Not only that, Garou also has a very arrogant nature.
Due to his high level of interest in the monster world, Garou is nicknamed the Human Monster. This is not surprising because Garou's own strength may not be much different from that of monsters. Garou evolved to become stronger after he actually turned into a monster.
5. Tatsumaki
The hero who is nicknamed the Tornado of Terror is a very strong esper. It is not surprising that she is ranked second in the ranks of class S heroes. Tatsumaki's immense strength has been shown many times.
For example, she was able to withstand Dark Matter Thieves' city-sized spaceship with her telekinetic powers. Not only that, she is also able to direct missiles simultaneously towards her opponent. According to Superalloy Darkshine, Tatsumaki can crush Garou with her powers.
4. Psykos-Orochi
King Orochi is the leader of the Monster Association who possesses a Dragon-level threat. He has a very large physical size and he is considered the strongest monster on earth. What's even crazier, his powers evolved after he merged with Psykos.
The combination of the two creates a tremendous impact. They can use gravity elemental powers and shapeshifting abilities. Not only that, Psykos's telekinasis powers grew stronger so he was able to dominate the fight against Tatsumaki.
3. Lord Boros
This one monster is probably Saitama's most legendary enemy. It stores a large amount of internal energy and its power has the potential to destroy the world. Not only that, he also has great regeneration abilities.
Boros is the first opponent worth it for Saitama. Unlike the other monsters which were instantly destroyed in one hit by Saitama, Boros was able to withstand several punches from Saitama. He was even able to throw Saitama from the earth to the moon. What is clear is that Boros' strength is very difficult to match by class S heroes.
2. Blast
Blast is a first rank S class hero whose figure is very mysterious. He very rarely appears in the story and his prowess can only be heard from the explanations of other characters, such as the narratives of Tatsumaki and Fubuki.
Blast's strength is too strong so he rarely fights mock enemies. He is said to have fought against Elder Centipede and made the centipede monster die. Not only that, Blast used to defeat a ninja who was said to be able to defeat several S-class heroes simultaneously.
1. Saitama
Without a doubt, the strongest character in the One Punch Man story is a bald hero named Saitama. Despite his unconvincing looks, he is actually a very strong character as he is able to finish off his opponent in just one punch.
The source of Saitama's power is quite mysterious because he gets super powers after he goes through a series of physical exercises, such as push ups, sit-ups and running regularly.
What is clear, he has exceeded the limits of ordinary human strength so that he becomes overpowered like that. With his strength, Saitama has defeated many strong monsters, such as Lord Boros.
