one punch man season 1 episode 12 english dub
SAITAMA VS BOROS
There was no messing around with this episode. It broke straight into the fight that had barely started the previous episode and oh my lord this fight was amazing.
The visuals to this fight were the greatest I have ever seen. There was no time wasting with great speeches and declaration of attacks. It was straight up action as Boros went ‘ham’ upon Saitama with an onslaught of attack after attack. It was mesmerizing. Boros wasn’t just another monster in the universe; this guy was a GOD! His power-ups were a delight to watch.
He had enough strength to destroy the earth and I loved how he kept powering up further and further until eventually he sent Saitama to the moon. THAT SHIT WAS AWESOME!
But you know what was even more amazing? SAITAMA JUMPING BACK TO EARTH! HOW COOL WAS THAT?
I know I’m having my fan-boy moments here but even Saitama was surprised by it and that just made my day. It is obvious even Saitama doesn’t know what he is truly capable of.
This was the first fight that took more than Once Punch from Saitama to end. The guy actually had regeneration powers and even the consecutive normal punches couldn’t finish him off. Eventually Saitama had to use to something from his ‘Serious Series’ known as the ‘Serious Punch’. This shit; you couldn’t make it up unless you were the guy who wrote the show.
I loved the fact they combined the opening theme with the fight so it was rolled into one with the music and the fighting. Really well executed and gave us more footage in the final episode by removing the animation of the opening.
We saw another side to Saitama this fight as he showed honour in defeating his opponent actually acknowledging Boros as a worthy opponent just as Boros had done to Saitama, claiming it was a close fight. Boros however knew that Saitama hadn’t even used his full strength in the fight and he was completely outmatched despite being the strongest opponent to date. Saitama even acknowledged this after the fight, speaking to Genos.
TATSUMAKI TORNADO
She is mega strong, that’s all I can say and her power is over-powered. Not Saitama level, I know but still, what an amazing ability. Made the rest look completely useless compared to her, especially the Tank-Top guy.
She cannot understand that Saitama is always everywhere around her despite the fact he is only a B-Rank. She doesn’t want to believe he is actually very strong. Perhaps she is just being ignorant but he did come out of the enemy ship and it finally crashing down was definitely not her work; I think she was aware of that also.
I guess Genos calling his ‘Sensei’ should say something but no, she still wanted to argue and when Saitama told Genos to handle it, that moment totally cracked me up. Unfortunately for Saitama, Tatsumaki is way too strong for someone like Genos.
I can’t wait for the day when she actually realises how strong Saitama truly is. At this moment in time, only Boros has had some indication to Saitama’s true power.
