Knowing that this episode was a part 2 of a longer plot involving a sea King who seemed literally invincible in the first part, I was excited to see how the story will unfold and how Saitama will beat him (curious about the circumstances rather than the punch itself).
The episode does a magnificent job at showing how weak people can influence and inspire others simply by having the guts to face threats that normal people might never have the courage. It really had me feeling for all these superheroes trying to bring down the sea King. By far this is the most character-driven episode of the show and one of the most of any anime ever.
Not even that the episode makes you feel with the heroes but it also emphasises the importance and urgency of the situation. This is done mostly due to the fact that this story is divided into 2 parts and the runtime is long enough to show different characters and superheroes trying to bring down the creature or just watching in disbelief.
People told me this was one of the most over powering and exaggerated well done anime ever. I see now that what they told me was only a part of the truth, because this anime never stops bringing more layers and depth to it and it's characters.
I am so curios as to how Saitama's story arc will develop in the next episodes and I am also captivated by the way this show keeps surprising me. Absolutely excellent in every aspect. 10/10
