“I'm very influenced by One-Punch Man, but I feel like it's a story that portrays a hero's journey. Various characters defy trials and portray the process of growth, and I also feel love and compassion. The main character, Saitama, is in a different position because he has reached his maximum strength. The difference between the outside and the inside (the point where the force is not transmitted to the surroundings) is also attractive.”
