One's "One Punch Man" season 2 was announced in late 2016 and details of it have been scarce, although fans are speculating that the series might return in November 2017. The hit Japanese superhero parody follows the story of Saitama, who is extremely powerful and gets bored with his fights. He then tries to look for an opponent who possesses the same power level as he does and it's where his adventure starts. Now, recent reports suggest that its second season will pay tribute to anime series "Dragon Ball."

The author of "One Punch Man" is a fan of "Dragon Ball" series creator Akira Toriyama and its manga version is said to be inspired by "Dragon Ball Z" series. That said, many fans believe that season 2 will also be inspired by Toriyama's creation, which is not a surprise as One is a huge fan of the latter. In its manga version, it was revealed that Saitama landed an extremely powerful punch, which is inspired by Goku's known power as a Saiyan.

Additionally, CeleBeat reports that there will be more powerful opponents coming in "One Punch Man" season 2 including Garou, who will defeat Saitama in one of their battles. Lord Boros is also expected to be another opponent of the bald hero. Some experts suggest that he will join other villains to take down Saitama.

The origin of Saitama's power has not been revealed in "One Punch Man" but theories have it that will finally be revealed in the upcoming season, which is something that fans have been dying to know. Previously, it was already revealed that his powerful punches are the result of his extreme exercise but still, there are fans who are not convinced by this. It is also one of the many reasons why everyone is looking forward for season 2.

Reports suggest that "One Punch Man" season 2 productions has started in March 2017. It is said that there might 12 to 13 episodes for the upcoming season and might be aired in November. CeleBeat will keep everyone posted. Stay tuned!
