Yay, anime original storyline on how he got his superhero suit. First half was alright, but second half was lolz with Saitama dragging those men around.

Really needed a little focus on Saitama's hero past and I think this OVA played its part by giving some insight into his career.

Saitama's Hero Costume Origins was EPIC!!!!

I can see why he wanted that apartment building to be destroyed back when the Meteor came.

Well, it's better than the "samurai" costume the old man sketched up before. Now we know the reason why he wears the strange yellow suit--even Saitama realizes it looks weird, but still wears it for the sake of the old man that supported him in his early years.

I really enjoyed this OVA, despite not having any over the top action. Knowing some of his backstory really helps. Also lol @ Genos at the end.

So now we got his outfit's backstory.

I hope the next ova will tell when his one punch ability activated.

~Great episode!!!


There is no "one punch ability" that activates at a specific point.

Saitama simply grew stronger and stronger without any limit during the 3 years of his training because he broke his limiter, reaching hax-level body stats.

Added to the backstory of Saitama which was great, I really wanted the ova to be based on Saitama's school years though. I actually thought the ova was about that since I didn't read the synopsis

I have to say this OVA wasn't bad but actually not as good as One's work. It is after all an original story by the creator of Eyeshield so I guess it's fine.

Very disappointing ova. Pretty boring overall. And one thing makes no sense: If Saitama's suit was originally created by that guy who retired, then how did he get his suite back in the regular anime when it got burned by Genos fire in episode 2?

Exactly that's why the mangaka should just leave ONE to make the OVA's he made it just decent and decent isn't something we expect of OPM. We expect greatness it could've been so much better.

It was kinda strange to see Saitama in his costume while having hair e.e

Nice ova. I liked the backstory, the little bit of comedy, and the fact they didn't focused too much in action.

I was wondering if this ova was created by ONE or not. Has he even made a side story of opm?

So that's why Saitama was miffed about the meteor missing that old apartment he got kicked out of.
A good author leaves the audience enough material to be satisfied with, yet yearning for more.

Weird to see Saitama again with hair xD He looks more badass without hair.
Great story! Loved that moment when he discovered that his apartment is the place where all the criminals live ahahah
