"One Punch Man" Season 2 production has been confirmed by creator Yusuke Murata. Murata is reportedly busy with his other projects, including other animated series, which may be the reason why the confirmation of the show has been delayed. Another reason for the delay is the current airing of the English-dubbed version of the first season.

Reports claimed that the delay of the release of "One Punch Man" Season 2 may be caused by the fact that the English-dubbed version of the first season of "One Punch Man" is still being aired. Speculations surfaced that the release date of "One Punch Man" Season 2 will be announced once Toonami has finished airing the English-dubbed series, Manga Panda reported. This is suggested to happen around early Sept. so fans already speculated that the upcoming season would probably air by October or November, reportedly.

However, some of the fans would rather see the network air "One Punch Man" Season 2 straight up. This is because some were skeptical about how the series was dubbed and it was hard not to wonder if most of the storyline and humor could translate well in English dialogue, MNR Daily reported. Reports claimed that there are fans who believe that the dubbing lacks quality and that they are unsatisfied with the voices of the characters.

Meanwhile, the first season of "One Punch Man" concluded with Saitama finally defeating Boros. Because of this, rumor has it that Boros will not accept defeat and will be back on "One Punch Man" Season 2. Aside from Boros, fans also speculate that Saitama will be facing more villains in the upcoming season, including Garou and Amai Mask.

"One Punch Man" Season 2 storyline is not confirmed yet. The creators still keep fans in the dark with the specific details of the upcoming season. Along with this, there is still no confirmation as to when "One Punch Man" Season 2 will actually air again as well. Watch "One Punch Man" Season 2 confirmation video here.
