'One-Punch Man' finale spoilers: Saitama to battle Lord Boros

"One-Punch Man" episode 12 premieres on Dec. 20. Viz Media

Episode 11 of "One-Punch Man" was a nail-biting, thrill-inducing crowd pleaser that ended with a cliffhanger. And with the last episode coming soon, fans are eager to see how Saitama, the powerful hero, can defeat Lord Boros.

The conclusion to Saitama's first chapter is reportedly going to feature a huge battle between the one-punch hero and the God-level threat in the form of Lord Boros. It is also assumed that Genos will take on a big role in the finale, given the fact that he was MIA for most of the past episode. 

The episode was certainly filled with action and the next one will undoubtedly draw an epic conclusion to the entire season. 

Lord Boros is indeed a powerful being, but viewers have seen what Saitama can do. However, there are few shadows of doubt hanging over Saitama as he might have finally met his match. The hero was not able to wipe out the villainous Lord Boros with just one jab, shocking the world because his famous one-punch streak has been broken.  

This could mean that Saitama, who is only doing all of this for fun in the first place, might be lacking. The brave hero might have to draw all of his strength and power with focus in order to defeat the threat that is Lord Boros.

According to Bitbag, rumor has it that Saitama has not yet reached his full potential and might be able to harness a power greater than that of Lord Boros or that of his current powers. This power is apparently called a "serious punch" from his "serious series." 

If true, then all this time, Saitama's one-punch ability is only the tip of the iceberg and a much more incredible power lies inside of him. Fans will have to wait patiently to see. 

Episode 12 of "One-Punch Man" titled "The Strongest Hero" will premiere on Dec. 20.
