One Punch Man Season 2 Episode 3: The Hunt Begins

This episode focuses almost entirely on Garou’s fight. It gives off a realistic villain vibe and explains the logic behind him becoming a monster. As usual, Saitama never fails to deliver a funny moment with his banana. But hear me out. At the end of the episode, we finally get to watch Saitama moment! So satisfying!

Garou is a menace, him walking right up to an S-Class powerhouse like Tanktop Master and completely dismantle him using Bang's stolen technique gives absolute chills.

Garou is a cool villain! I like his personality and want to learn more about him. This one was a little slower but still funny. Saitama and his bananas were cracking me up!

Power level presentation is good , OP moment of Saitama was the selling point .Loved the character introduction and interaction . Great sound track and the storyline development is just awesome .

Garou continues to stand out and it feels like his actions were driven by something deeper. You can sense it with how he deals with monsters, heroes, and criminals versus how he deals with that boy in the park. Isn't it intriguing?

You're gonna see a different side of the hero world. Garou’s the hero hunter begins in earnest here, and his fight with the Tanktop group is sick. It’s a great introduction to a villain who actually studies his opponents.

This is where it finally gets real, Garou starts moving, and you can feel the danger right away. The pacing’s faster, fights hit harder (when they do), and the vibe turns darker. Animation’s still uneven, but the tension carries. Honestly, watch this. This is where it clicks.

Narrative felt a bit slow. Some cool moments, but nothing groundbreaking. It's fine. Didn't really grab me like it should have, honestly.

EPISODE CONTEXT

Following Episode 2's declaration of war against the Hero Association, Episode 3 delivers on that promise with Garou's first major offensive, turning abstract threat into visceral action. This is early-season escalation—only three episodes in, the conflict is already forcing heroes like Tank-top Master and Silverfang into reactive positions. It directly sets up Episode 4, 'Metal Bat,' where the hero side begins mounting its own response to Garou's rampage.
