Ep 3. The Obsessive Scientist

In One-Punch Man season 1 episode 3, titled "The Obsessive Scientist," we follow our hero Saitama as he encounters a new opponent, Dr. Kuseno, a scientist who has created a cyborg named Genos that wants to be trained by Saitama.

The episode begins with Genos facing off against a group of powerful monsters in the city. Despite his firepower, he is quickly defeated, but luckily for him, Saitama happens to be nearby. Saitama decides to help Genos and takes him back to his apartment to discuss the situation further.

Genos reveals that he is a cyborg created by Dr. Kuseno to avenge his family's death by hunting down the mad cyborg who killed them. However, he is struggling to increase his power level and is seeking Saitama's help to do so.

Meanwhile, we see Dr. Kuseno is observing their conversation through a camera in Genos' eye. He becomes fascinated with Saitama's power and decides to contact him directly, inviting him to his lab to discuss a potential partnership.

Once they arrive at Dr. Kuseno's lab, we learn that he has also created an army of robots that he intends to use to wipe out all evil from the world. However, his obsession with this goal has caused him to become blind to the potential consequences of his actions.

Saitama quickly realizes that Dr. Kuseno is not a villain but rather a well-meaning scientist whose methods are causing harm to innocent people. He attempts to reason with him, but Dr. Kuseno is too focused on his mission to listen.

This leads to a battle between Saitama and Dr. Kuseno's robots. While Saitama easily defeats them, he realizes that the true threat is the mad cyborg that Genos is searching for. He decides to team up with Genos to find and defeat the cyborg, ultimately leading to an epic battle that will test their limits.
