I was wondering where chronologically each special takes place (between/after which episode). Thanks for your time.

I'm waiting for an answer to this as well; I haven't been able to find anything about this anywhere else.

a lot of them are spin-offs and not meant to be connected to the main story, so they're best to just be watched when you're finished

You could always watch it in the order they were released on each Blu-ray volume, so after episode 2 watch special 1, after episode 4 watch special 2, and so on.

As technically this was how the specials were released alongside the BDs.

*SPOILER WARNING FOR SPECIAL 1 EXPLANATION* Thanks to some help from the One Punch Man wiki I found some of the specials can be placed at a certain point in the story.

-Special 1, "A Shadow That Snuck Up Too Close": Takes place part way through episode 2. This takes place shortly AFTER Mosquito Girl's defeat in episode 2 and ends by leading back into the scene where Genos approaches Saitama's apartment. From that scene one can resume watching episode 2.

-Special 2 "The Pupil Who Is An Extremely Poor Talker": No particular placement, but does take place AFTER episode 2.

-Special 3, "The Ninja Who is Too Complicated": Takes place AFTER episode 4. Best watched right after you watch episode 4, but takes place BEFORE episode 6.

Special 4, "Bang, Who is Too Overbearing": Takes between episode 7 and 8.

-Special 5 "The Sisters Who Have Too Many Things Happening": Takes place AFTER episode 8. Would fit well between episode 8 and 9.

-Special 6, "The Murder Case That Is Too Impossible": Takes place AFTER episode 12.

-Road to Hero OVA: Takes place somewhere AFTER episode 2.

Hope this detailed post can help people like me who are sticklers for continuity. : ) This may help you too @Gaara-Senpai
