  • Sword Art Online: Alicization Season 3 Release Date Updates

    Illustrated by abec and written by Reki Kawahara, Sword Art Online is a Japanese light novel series. The series is set in the near future and mainly focuses on leads Kazuto “Kirito” Kirigaya and Asuna Yuuki, as they play through multiple virtual reality worlds. The anime television series based on this novel was produced by A-1 Pictures, known simply as Sword Art Online. It was first aired in Japan in 2012 between July and December.

    However, due to the global pandemic situation, one of the first anime shows to get postponed was Sword Art Online’s new Season, Sword Art Online: Alicization – War of Underworld. Even though this was disappointing for most fans as they have been waiting patiently for the release of season 3. But now their wait is over!

    It has been in the news that Sword Art Online will be returning to the television in about a month. Plus the anime has had an ample amount of time to figure out how season 3 will bring twist in the story.

On the other hand, even though fans expect the anime to be simulcast, there are doubts about the anime’s simuldub.

  • One-Punch Man: All About Bomb, Silver Fang’s Brother

    Full of quirky characters, One-Punch man features several characters with unique abilities, some more respectable compared to others. The main lead, Saitama is distinguished for being remarkably strong but that does not make the other characters any less powerful.

    To elaborate, One-Punch Man Season 2 introduced a new character in Bomb, the older brother of series regular Bang, also known as the elderly hero “Silver Fang.” Bomb has proved himself as an interesting addition to the cast and has prepared himself for some possible plot down the line. 

    Bomb: Who is He?

    Silver Fang, an elderly S-class hero, is Bang’s younger brother. In the world of One-Punch Man, Bomb is one of the greatest Martial Art Masters and the owner of a martial arts school. His inventions include “Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist.” This is his signature move which he specially teaches his students.

    He prefers a more relaxed life of training and teaching unlike his brother, Bomb isn’t a professional hero. Even though he believes Silver Fang should abandon the task of saving the world and enjoy his old age, he still doesn’t hesitate to help his brother fighting enemies.

    How much power does he have?

    He is quite powerful, especially because of his signature move “Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist” which he uses to shred his enemies to pieces. The scary thing is, the enemies don’t even realize their body has been split until they’re already in bits. 

    He makes use of his martial art skill to control the air, forming a razor-sharp spike that can cut through nearly anything. What’s more terrifying is his “Whirlwind Water Stream Roaring Aura Sky Ripping Fist,” which he uses against resisting opponents by combining forces with Bang.

    Although he often reveals his anxiety about his body getting weaker due to his old age, he possesses tremendous strength, speed, and durability. His brother, who is a Rank 3 S-class hero, is weaker in comparison with Bomb.

    Bomb once claimed that if he was 60 years younger, he could endure all the injuries sustained by Garou, Bang’s one-time student who suffered while fighting various opponents at once. These abilities and powers make everyone curious as to what kind of hero Bomb would turn out to be if he was in the Hero Association.

    Bomb is one of those who are aware of Saitama’s power. Plus, alongside the high-ranking heroes Genos, Fubuki, Silver Fang, and King, he ends up joining the Saitama Group. Despite he is more qualified, bomb refused to join his brother in the Hero Association. In the series, he is seen as a strongest civilian.
