Certain occurrences in One-Punch Man also hint that “God” may be the series’ final villain. So, is God the real deal?

For the uninitiated, One Punch Man follows Saitama, who by all appearances, seems like a regular guy. However, Saitama is a superhero with a unique power, as he is able to dispatch any foe with one punch.

While it’s unclear if the change is permanent or temporary, the YouTube experimental features page now reads that “for a limited time, Premium members can try out new features”....
