There are rumors that Amai Mask will become Saitama's enemy in "One Punch Man" anime season 2.
Ecumenical News reported that viewers were already speculating on the plot for "One Punch Man" anime season 2. The series' first season ended with episode 12.
"One Punch Man" episode 12, entitled "The Strongest Hero," showed the epic fight between Lord Boros and Saitama. It the latest installment of the series, Genos was warned by a fellow class S hero to be careful and stay away from Metal Knight.
Saitama ended the battle with Lord Boros with his final move, the Serious Punch.
Rumors suggest that "One Punch Man" anime season 2 will see Amai Mask becoming the villain. According to the publication, episode 12 revealed "another potential rival for Saitama.
Apparently, Amai Mask's level, being a class A rank 1 hero, will be a factor in his antagonism towards the hero-for-fun.
"Importantly, Amai Mask already appeared to have sown the seeds for further conflict with Saitama as he blamed the Class S heroes for the destruction of the city and a fight, which looked likely to erupt soon afterwards, was only narrowly averted," the website wrote.
It was also said that a lot of fans think that a rivalry between Saitama and Amai Mask is bound to occur in "One Punch Man" anime season 2.
"One Punch Man" anime creator Yusuke Murata took to Twitter last month to reveal that he is hard at work in making season 2 happen. However, the anime's second season may not arrive soon since the manga is still ongoing as well.
"Note that it doesn't mean Season 2 is 'confirmed.' There's not enough content to be adapted as of now," Anime Corner wrote.
"Murata said that he will work hard to make it possible!"
"One Punch Man" manga is still at chapter 86, which is the "Garou Arc." Episode 12 of the anime ended with Saitama's fight with Lord Boros, which happened around chapter 37 in the manga.
