One of the best episodes of an anime TV series that I've ever watched!
Shmaden28 December 2017
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

Mumen Rider is a legend

The most powerful episode of One Punch Man

Warning: Spoilers
For the most part, this show focuses mostly on comedy and ridiculous action, however this takes a slight turn during Episode 9, which is the second half of a small arc where heroes take on the Deep Sea King, an incredibly powerful foe.
The episode clearly shows what it means to be a hero. Most people who work in the Hero Association are egotistical, and care only about publicity, but Mumen Rider and Saitama are the antithesis of this.
Mumen Rider is essentially a normal person, who attained top rank in C-Class heroes by simply being a good natured person and a provider of justice. When confronted with an unbeatable foe that tore Genos apart, he didn't run, but he faced death without fear, knowing full well that he couldn't win.
Then Saitama comes and beats the Deep Sea King effortlessly, but when a cynical citizen begins saying that because the creature died so effortlessly by Saitama, the other heroes didn't deserve their job, Saitama pretended to be the cheater people thought he was, protecting the reputation of the other heroes, and antagonizing himself.
While this show is essentially a parody of the Superhero/Shounen genres, it still manages to get to the heart of what it means to be a hero, and I think that is why this show is far more effective both as a satire, and on its own legs, than any other superhero parody out there.

Mumen rider stole the show!
netforceoff16 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This episode's more about the courage and perseverance of common man who can be stronger in every aspect even when faced with unformidable foes. Mumen rider knows he can't defeat the overpowered sea monster but every bit of his cells lack fear when confronting it. His life was at stake and he never really thought about caring about his life while thinking about the safety of others. He is the only one who acknowledged saitama when there were a lot of people who witnessed what had happed. The speech he gave really had me in thrills and it was really inspiring for me to not give up in our harsh situations.
I think the creator had really given mumen rider his deserving content in this episode and this was his episode where he is the main character.
