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.

They don’t cause much trouble for him until one day he comes across an evil spirit known as a Hollow. Ichigo and his sisters manage to seek refuge from the ghost by taking the help of a Soul Reaper named Rukia (Michelle Ruff). Unfortunately, during the fight, she is injured and needs to transfer her powers to Ichigo.

FLCL 

One of the best Anime series on Crunchyroll, it is on par with the likes of Cowboy Bebop and One Punch Man, even though it has been left relatively under the radar. The storyline mainly focuses on the coming-of-age tale of a female’s lifelong quest to court a cosmic entity known as Atomsk. You can watch the sequels on Crunchyroll.

Sword Art Online

This interesting Anime shows the year 2022 in which a virtual reality game is released called Sword Art Online (SAO). In this game, using a piece of technology called Nerve Gear, a helmet that stimulates the player’s brain and players can immerse themselves. The plot twists as one day the players realize they are unable to logout until they reach the 100th level of the game’s tower and defeat the final boss. However, if they try to leave the game by removing the helmet, or if they are unable to complete the game, they will die.

Cowboy Bebop

This iconic space western is widely regarded as one of the best anime series of all time. Even though the show has a science-fiction setting, it draws heavily from Western themes and features a jazz-inspired soundtrack that has earned much recognition. The show is about Spike Spiegel (Steve Blum) and his partner Jet Black (Beau Billingslea) who are bounty hunters (also known as “cowboys”) who work aboard the spaceship Bebop.

It was really hard to find Anime series without combing through numerous YouTube videos. Fortunately, streaming platforms have made it much easier to find Anime series on the web especially Funimation. We have prepared a list of Anime films and series from Funimation so if you are an anime lover, then this article is for you!

Dragon Ball Z

This unforgettable anime show is the best you can watch, with its famous characters, Goku, and Vegeta, plus its famous lines such as “Over 9,000!”, and  “… find out next time on Dragon Ball Z!” The story revolves around the adult life of Goku, a wayward Saiyan warrior who fights for Earth alongside a group of once-rivals turned friends. If you have never watched the series before, you will find it on Funimation along with Dragon Ball Super.

Serial Experiments Lain

Combining to separate genres is an art. This 13-episode miniseries combines cyberpunk with horror which is a very unique combination. What keeps the storyline going is the psychological twists in the show. The show revolves around a high school girl named Lain, who falls ignorantly into a twisting conspiracy including a cybernetic landscape, called The Wire. 

The show commences with the suicide of a classmate, that is tied to internet connectivity and computer technology. The miniseries show nanobot drugs, plus a VR experience that tracks player’s kills as deaths in the real world.

Paranoia Agent

This is the production of Satoshi Kon, well-known for anime movie classics like Perfect Blue and Paprika. Paranoia Agent is a psychological horror story, focusing mainly on Lil Slugger social experiment from different perspectives. Each episode shows the deepest secrets of each of the cast members, plus each individual turns out to be as exciting as they are secretive.

Yu Yu Hakusho

Yu Yu Hakusho features a coming-of-age adventure with the perfect combination of supernatural abilities and demons. The three-season anime is based on the manga by Yoshihiro Togashi, who likewise wrote and illustrated the famed Hunter x Hunter.

We recommend this anime series because it did not only gain immediate recognition but also was voted best anime series in the Annual Anime Grand Prix in the years 1994 and 1995. Alongside a cast of marvelous characters, including the anti-heroic Hiei and the stoically mystical Genkai, the loudmouth and ever-violent Yusuke Urameshi continues to be a pleasure to watch in his strife to defeat the evil forces.

Even though Dragon Ball anime is still on a break right now, fans are committed to imagining where the franchise could be headed next. Many expansions were introduced to the Dragon Ball universe, and one of them loved by many fans is the God of Destruction role.

Since the appearance of Lord Beerus to fight Goku in Super’s first arc, fans are theorizing that the series has been slowly preparing and testing Goku for one end purpose: becoming Beerus’ replacement as the God of Destruction for Universe 7.

Multiple visual odes have showed up since this theory was made public. A lot of them were very creatively produced with a lot of insight. We have selected a pretty good ones to show you.

Another artist elaborated on this further by visualizing what it would look like if Goku had all of his Super Saiyan auras and colors stimulating simultaneously. You can examine this sleek version in the tweet below.

Compared to the usual crop of Ultra Instinct-infused depictions, this concept of God of Destruction Goku is much more novel and fundamental. This particular version shows the Super Saiyan God coloring of Goku. But it has definitely been incorporated with the spirit of Beerus, considering Goku’s bored look and the return of his Saiyan tail.

When you think about it, it’s actually a detailed and interesting theory of what Goku would be like as a God of Destruction. Having a real responsibility that has spiritual parameters, laws, and dreadful consequences would be a tremendous change to Goku’s roaming brawler lifestyle. However, it wouldn’t make Chi-Chi any happier that Goku finally landed on a real career path and wouldn’t be residing on earth anymore.

Fans now question whether Goku or Vegeta would be the right one for the God of Destruction job. This controversy has led to debates among fans as to who is the better candidate. We believe Goku would make a better candidate but fans have a different opinion.

First, a lot of fans believe Vegeta would be the one best fit for the job, but given the Saiyan Prince’s personality, that may not be the most suitable idea. Goku would be the most uncertain one to take the responsibility, which is exactly why Grand Zeno may think he’s the perfect candidate for the job.
