The name of the work Wanpanman is a parody of the character Anpanman (the word pan (パン?) is not a standard abbreviation for punch or better “punch”).
The story of the first season of the One-Punch Man takes place in a fictional Japanese city called City Z, where several strange monsters appear and cause various disasters, usually the result of a crazy experiment or genetic mutation. Saitama, the protagonist, is an incredibly strong hero who easily defeats these monsters or other villains with a single punch. However, due to his overwhelming strength, Saitama has become bored and is constantly trying to find stronger opponents who can stand on equal terms with him.
Saitama meets new friends, enemies, and his own disciple, the cyborg Genos, where the two join the Hero Association to gain recognition for their efforts to defeat evil. Despite defeating many powerful monsters that even the most powerful heroes of the Association are unable to defeat, Saitama strives to earn respect. Most people become disrespectful of him due to his plain physical appearance, and some accuse him of being a fake hero. Only a small number recognize his incredible talent and humility towards others.
