ワンパンマン

 

This is the opening theme to my favorite anime in the world, One Punch Man. I love the high energy rock energy it has and I always want to do a little dance to it. The song describes the show’s protagonist, Saitama. Saitama is a ‘hero for fun’ who’s able to destroy any enemy with one punch, however, being able to take out his opponents so easily makes his life feel meaningless and dull. Saitama’s character is an interesting approach to the overpowered character trope, where instead of being cocky or arrogant, Saitama is depressed by his strength and yearns for a challenge. He’s still an incredibly funny and kind character and a lot of the show’s humor comes from his obliviousness and how easily he takes out opponents. I love him a lot. Anyway, The Hero is a really fun opening song for a really fun anime.
