One-Punch Man Season 2 may have wrapped, setting up quite the cliffhanger for our heroes, but fans waiting for the English dub won’t have to wait too long to see it for themselves. With Saitama returning to Toonami starting on October 12th 2019, the heroes of the city will have to tackle an entirely new threat in the form of the Monster Association. While this new threat barrels toward both heroes and civilians alike, Saitama is still searching for any other being on earth who can match his insane levels of strength. Now, additional voice actors for brand new characters in this season have been announced!

Viz Media revealed the newest voice actors for some of the heroes and villains that will debuting in season 2 of One-Punch Man, including Garou, Orochi, Gyoro-Gyoro, and Suiryu to name a few, all of which have very different roles to play throughout the latest adventures of Saitama:

For those who aren’t familiar with these characters, let’s do a quick rundown of each. Garou is introduced as one of the “bigger bads” of the season, attempting to fight against heroes in order to make himself into a monster and earn the name of the “hero killer”. Orochi is the king of the Monster Association, pointing his legion of creatures in the direction of the heroes and the poor bystanders in their path. Gyoro-Gyoro is a monster beneath Orochi, following his king’s whims.
Suiryu is vastly different from these villains, a “hero” attempting to win the martial arts tournament that Saitama finds himself. One-Punch Man is still on his journey to find someone who can compare to his ridiculous levels of strength, and he is hoping to find it among the numerous martial artists that arrive as part of the tournament.
