All One Punch Man arcs in order

Even those who aren’t familiar with One or most of his works, they have certainly heard about the author’s most overpowered character, Saitama. One Punch Man‘s protagonist is undoubtedly among the strongest and fastest in the anime scene, with a reputation that precedes him. Thus, it’s never surprising to see folks wanting to know more about the series itself.

Although Saitama is what initially draws everyone in, it is One Punch Man‘s quirky characters and the perfect blend of action with comedy that makes them stay. Despite — or perhaps due to it — being a satire of the shonen genre and superheroes at large, this has become one of the most popular manga and anime series in modern times. Fortunately for fans, the story shows no signs of coming to a close any time soon.

Whether you’re new to this world or have already gotten acquainted with it, though, there is always something to learn. In this case, it’s One Punch Man‘s structure, which can be helpful information to have when you feel like discussing, analysing or even rereading a particular section of the story. Like most other anime and manga series, this one is organized into arcs.

One Punch Man story arcs

Right now, One Punch Man is divided into four sagas, which comprise 19 arcs in the manga. Out of those, 14 have been fully adapted into anime format, while another — the Monster Association arc — only got its early stage animated in the last few episodes of season 2. Once the next season comes out, we’ll undoubtedly get into the nitty gritty of it, but in the meantime, here are all the story arcs in the One Punch Man manga and anime, listed:
