Arc: Alien Conquerors
Episode Overview
Saitama vs. Boros — the alien conqueror who traveled across the universe seeking a worthy opponent. For the first time in the series, Saitama faces someone who can at least withstand his blows for more than one punch. The fight is spectacular and achingly sad.
What Fans Think
Considered one of the greatest single fight episodes in anime history. Madhouse pulled out everything for the S1 finale. The animation is still referenced years later as a benchmark. Boros is universally loved despite his limited screentime.
