VerifiedSonic thought he was the ultimate speed demon of the ninja world, until he met the absolute worst counter measure, Saitama. I laughed throughout the episode.

VerifiedEach episode has a different monster or villain. But this episode was hilarious to me especially Saitama vs Sonic. Saitama even gets accused of being a villain because there’s another bald villain who looks like him. Lots of misunderstandings. Even though the story doesn’t continue from the last episode, it’s still interesting and worth watching

VerifiedAnother great episode! Sonic is very cool and funny and I look forward to seeing more of him as a rival. The fight scenes continue to look really good and the dynamic between Saitama and Genos is still very amusing. The cliffhanger was very exciting and I'm excited for more!

VerifiedA sharp, tactical episode balancing satire and structure; it dissects hero bureaucracy and ego while pacing conflict with precision, reinforcing themes of merit, identity, and absurd power.

An action-heavy episode filled with flashy movement and exaggerated speed that keeps the energy consistently high.

This episode is pure comedy gold. I highly recommend it that you don't skip this episode, because I just can't stop laughing at this one. There's a bit of battle scenes, but the slapstick? Absolute cinema.

This episode looks incredible from start to finish. The scale of the threat feels huge, and the animation really sells the impact of every moment. Genos’s reaction adds some humor, but the overall tone keeps the tension high the whole time.

It’s only been a few episodes but this one is definitely my favorite one up until now!! I LOVED the humor and comedy in this one! The pacing for each humor was also perfectly done and it always happens in the most unexpected way ever, so it’s really entertaining to watch😆

A fantastic action-packed episode with stellar animation and excellent pacing. Saitama is forced to attempt to confront a group who's making him look bad while running into a deadly adversary who's a little too excited to fight.

Another banger! The pacing is fast and the introduction of Sonic adds such a cool dynamic to the character writing. I love the world building here, showing how Saitama is basically a 'nobody' despite his god-like power. The humor during the 'fight' was peak OPM. 10/10!

The episode delivers sharp, fast-paced battles. The episode shifts focus from monster battles to human conflicts, parodying themes of revolution, wealth disparity, and mistaken identity.

Speed-o'-Sound Sonic introduction! Amazing ninja skills. Saitama's quest for recognition is funny. Action packed, but the main character remains unimpressed.

EPISODE CONTEXT
Coming off the Dr. Genus confrontation in episode 3, which tested Saitama's power against engineered threats, episode 4 pivots to a more personal frustration: nobody knows who he is despite his impossible strength. The introduction of Sonic as a recurring foil adds a new comedic and combative thread to the season. This episode directly sets up episode 5, 'The Ultimate Master,' where Saitama and Genos take concrete steps toward official hero recognition by registering with the Hero Association.
