Summary of One Punch Man (OPM) Chapter 12
Chapter 12 kicks off after the destruction of the House of Evolution. Genos proposes becoming Saitama’s disciple, and the dynamic between them starts to shine. Genos, all serious and determined, wants to uncover Saitama’s secret to power, while Saitama just wants to chill and catch sales at the grocery store. The chapter introduces the Hero Association, which sends two heroes, Snakebite Snek and Mumen Rider, to deal with city threats. But the real focus is on Genos convincing Saitama to take the hero test. Watching Genos’ fiery passion clash with Saitama’s deadpan attitude is pure comedy gold. Plus, we get a glimpse of the growing monster threat looming over City Z. The humor is perfectly balanced with the rising tension, and the anticipation builds for Saitama to finally get some recognition. Fans can’t help but cheer for Mumen Rider’s earnestness, even though he is hilariously outclassed. By the end, you are hooked, waiting for the hero test and Saitama’s next big, unintentional flex.
