Anime-Only Characters
CharacterThis directory gathers the figures who exist solely within the One-Punch Man adaptations, turning up across the television anime and its OVA shorts rather than in the original manga or webcomic. It spans exclusive heroes, villains, humans, and Mysterious Beings alike.
Appearance
The main television series introduces only a small exclusive set. Two of them are Mysterious Beings, the sentient racing car Super Custom YO649Z Mk. II and Pluton, both of whom meet their end. The remaining anime-original figure is the human Mr. Majimeda.
Personality
The OVA episodes bring their own cast of heroes and villains. The hero Swim appears among them, while the antagonist lineup covers Brut, Chemonille, Caramel Macchiato Kaito, Don Pacino, Enjoe, the Serial Bomber, and the Typhoon Family No. 2 Man.
History
The shorts also add a batch of exclusive Mysterious Beings, many of them slain, including Bruinado, Dirt Earthworm, the Fish of Darkness, the Giant Salamander, the Lord of Mountains, the Men's Esthetician Man, the TV Junkyard Monster, and the Urn Eel. Rounding out the collection are the minor figures Draper, Frank, Ino, and the Landlady.
