CATDOLL: Japanese netizens hotly discuss: How can the bald teacher be so popular without much effort?

The new October anime "One Punch Man" has been extremely popular since it was aired. Many viewers who have not seen the original work before also praised this work. However, many people have heard of this work and still feel that "One Punch Man" does not conform to the usual setting of "friendship, hard work, and victory" for hot-blooded anime, so they don't understand why "One Punch Man" is so popular. Now a Japanese netizen has raised his own questions online, and everyone has joined the discussion.

In the anime I've watched before, the protagonists basically need to rely on friendship and hard work to win in the end. But in "One Punch Man", all we see is a scary monster appearing and being killed by Saitama with one punch. How should I put it...it doesn't seem very exciting? So why is this work so popular?

Who said he didn't work hard? The teacher was just an ordinary office worker before, but his training was to fight against countless monsters. Do you really think he just did push-ups every day? It's just that these contents were basically not portrayed in the plot.

Friendship: Genos; Effort: Muscle training; Victory: Need I say more? Don't you think all three elements are there? And the reason I like watching One Punch Man is that the plot is not dragged out. To be honest, how much interest do you have in watching how the protagonist trains? Or do you prefer to see them fight the enemy directly?

I laughed when I saw this kind of discussion. Hard work? You're telling me to work hard in a shonen manga? "Naruto" relies on "friendship, blood (father is a Hokage), victory"; "One Piece" relies on "friendship, blood (family members are either revolutionary soldiers or admirals), victory"; "Kingdom" relies on "friendship, blood (parents from different backgrounds), victory". This is the reality. In a sense, Saitama is the one who really has no background and finally made it. Shouldn't we applaud him?

Actually, after listening to you all, I suddenly had a strange feeling: Will this work end with Saitama dreaming? If you listen to the lyrics of the ending song, you can hear this kind of atmosphere. If it is a dream, then everything is easy to understand.

Why don't you think this is a comedy... What's the right way to do a comedy?
