Saitama vs Sea King.

Saitama continues to rise up in the ranks as a member of the Heroes Association. In the newest English volume Saitama takes on the many challenges of being a member of the Heroes Association, and many enemies who come his way. Including giant meteors, as well as the mighty Sea King.

THE GOOD:  Saitama’s struggling progress in the Heroes Association despite his god like strength is an interesting plot point. The other members continue to show disdain towards Saitama except for a choice few, and many continue to question his abilities.

THE BAD: While most One Punch Man volumes have a few arcs, volume four only features the meteor & Sea King arcs, so compared to other volumes it may seem short in length.

OVERALL THOUGHTS: Volume 4 of One Punch Man is an short volume compared to the previous three, but the canon arcs are stellar enough to keep the interest. Saitama’s struggles since becoming a professional hero are truly coming into light for the series’ drama, and the action sequences haven’t missed a single beat. Otaku Dome gives One Punch Man Volume 4 an 80 out of 100.
