There are many special moves that appear in One Punch Man. I have compiled a top 15 list of the coolest and most powerful special moves, from both friend and foe, based on my own opinion. The criteria were to pick out moves that looked powerful, so some special moves that didn't stand out much in the story are also included.

One Punch Man Special Move Ranking TOP 15 "1st Place" "Serious Series Serious Punch"

"User: Saitama" Saitama just punches with all his might. It doesn't feel like a special move at all, it's just a serious punch, but the power is just like a special move.

He pierces through Boros's powerful special move that is strong enough to burn the surface of the earth, and even one-hits the giant monster with hard armor, the "Giant Monster Centipede Elder." In the first place, even a normal attack, not a special move or anything, can take down a disaster level dragon monster with one punch, so in a way it's only natural that this would happen if you really hit him.

One Punch Man Special Move Ranking TOP 15 ``2nd place'' ``Special Move Serious Series Serious Headbutt''

``User: Saitama'' Saitama just seriously headbutts. It doesn't feel like a special move after all. But the power is still that of a special move. With the limiter removed, Garou's powerful headbutt pierces through the armor of many S-class heroes in one hit, and would probably be a special move if Saitama were to get serious.

One Punch Man Special Moves Ranking TOP 15 ``3rd place'' ``Collapse Star Roaring Cannon''

``User: Boros'' The trump card and strongest special move of Boros, the champion from space. A move that seems like it would put the Earth in danger, as it releases all of its energy and wipes out the surface of the star. It's a special move that seems to come out of the world of Dragon Ball.

If the work was different, the protagonist's deadly battle with Boros would have been serialized over several volumes, but against the otherworldly Saitama, he was forced to use his final trump card in just a few episodes, and his final Starburst Cannon was drowned out by Saitama's serious punch.

One Punch Man Special Move Ranking TOP 15 ``4th place'' ``Meteoric Burst''

``User: Boros'' A trump card special move by Boros, the champion from space. It uses the release of internal energy as a propulsion force to transform into a form that draws out speed and power beyond the limits of living things, and uses a kick technique to blow the target to the moon.

This form puts a lot of strain on Boros' body, so I don't think Boros expected him to use his trump card so quickly. However, Saitama, who was blown to the moon, easily returned, ignoring gravity and all that.

One Punch Man Special Moves Ranking TOP 15 "5th place" "Two-handed continuous normal punch"

"User: Saitama" Saitama simply punches continuously with both hands. This doesn't seem like a special move or anything, but Saitama's one punch itself is a special move, so consecutive punches using both hands would obviously be a special move. It was used against Garou, who had overpowered other S-class heroes after his limiter was removed, and it overwhelmed Garou's consecutive attacks head-on. He doesn't normally use both hands, so perhaps we should praise Garou for using them.

One Punch Man Special Move Ranking TOP 15 "6th place" "Continuous normal punches"

"User: Saitama" Saitama just punches continuously. I'm not sure if this should be called a special move after all, but most of the time it's settled with one punch without using consecutive punches. This technique is used by strong opponents such as Garou and Boros who are not defeated with a single punch from Saitama, and it beats up opponents with an overwhelming number of punches, but it only uses one hand.

One Punch Man Special Move Ranking TOP 15 ``7th place'' ``God Killing Instant Attack''

``User: Garou'' A continuous attack using the newly named Mysterious God Killing Fist, which Garou has removed his limiter from. Garou has gained enough power to overwhelm other S-class heroes with this new special move... but when he uses it on Saitama, it's completely ineffective, as he is overwhelmed by the number of consecutive normal punches with both hands. Normally this would be a very powerful technique, but it was chosen against the wrong opponent.

One Punch Man Special Move Ranking TOP 15 "8th place" "God Killing Ascension"

"User: Garou" An upper attack using the newly named Mysterious God Killing Fist by Garou, whose limiter has been removed. Garou's new special move has given him enough power to overwhelm other S-class heroes, but when he uses it on Saitama, it doesn't work at all. After all, it's a special move that should be able to shatter any kind of armor, but his opponent was just too strong.

One Punch Man Special Move Ranking TOP 15 "9th place" "Special Move Magic Series Magic Chabudai Geshi"

"User: Saitama" A technique that lifts the ground and suspends the opponent very high into the air. Not only does it rob the opponent of their vision, but it also suspends them in the air, leaving them with nowhere to escape. It was used against an awakened Garou, launching him high into the air and blocking his escape route before following up with a series of regular punches. While it didn't cause direct damage, having your escape route blocked by Saitama usually means you're in trouble.

One Punch Man Special Move Ranking TOP 15 ``10th place'' ``Special Move Magic Series Magic Repeated Side Jump''

``User: Saitama'' Saitama just moves forward while repeating side jumps at high speed. He's not doing anything special, but it looks like he's splitting into two. Saitama unleashed a technique to counter Sonic the Speed of Sonic, who got carried away and created clones... or maybe it's not really a technique at all, it was just a series of side-to-side jumps, but it completely neutralized Sonic the Speed of Sonic's clone technique and the resulting shockwave easily knocked him out.

One Punch Man Special Move Ranking TOP 15 "11th place" "Terrifying Tornado"

User: "Tatsumaki" Tatsumaki didn't actually say the name of the special move, but an A-class hero who was there said it. She used her overwhelming telekinesis to turn Jagan, the grudge-controlling monster, into a lump of flesh. However, it could also be said that it was just Tatsumaki's usual telekinesis, so it may not even be called a special move.

One Punch Man Special Move Ranking TOP 15 ``12th place'' ``Kou-ga Ryu-satsu-ken''

``User: Bang & Bomb or Garou'' A combined technique of Bang and Bomb that appeared in the original One Punch Man. A barrage of blows that feels like you're being attacked by dozens of martial artists. After being used by Garou during his battle with Genos, it was used against an overgrown Pochi. However, it was not enough to defeat him. After being attacked, Garou learned the technique, and was able to use a technique that normally requires two people on his own.

One Punch Man Special Move Ranking TOP 15 ``13th place'' ``Sweeping Water Thundering Air Fist''

``Users: Bang & Bomb'' Bang and Bomb's combined secret technique. A special move that can be said to be the pinnacle of techniques, with the impact circulating throughout the entire body. Both Bang and Bomb are old, so it seems they can't use them continuously. Genos, Bang, and Bomb work together to successfully shoot at the Giant Centipede Elder, but instead of disintegrating, the Centipede Elder's body sheds its skin and grows even larger.

One Punch Man Special Move Ranking TOP 15 ``14th place'' ``Atomic Slash''

``User: Atomic Samurai'' This is a deadly sword technique by S-class hero Atomic Samurai that instantly slices the opponent into small pieces. It is a special move unique to the sword saint that can instantly kill an average opponent.

Not compatible with opponents that split

This is a special move that is extremely powerful at close range, but it is not compatible with opponents that split even when cut, such as Melzargard and Black Sperm. Melzargard was able to defeat it by cutting it up to expose its weak core and taking advantage of the gap it was regenerating, but was defeated due to its fatal compatibility with the black sperm.

One Punch Man Special Move Ranking TOP 15 『15th place』 『Super Alloy Bazooka』

『User: Super Alloy Black Vikari』This is a heavy blow from Super Alloy Black Vikari, who has trained his body to the point of having a body of steel. With a physical strength that can turn an enemy into a lump of flesh just by charging at them, this blow is considered a powerful attack. It was used in the fight against Garou, but Garou, who had his limiter removed, easily stopped the Super Alloy Bazooka.

Top 15 One Punch Man Special Moves

This time, I have compiled a list of special moves that appear in One Punch Man, based on my own opinion. One of the attractions of One Punch Man is its flashy action, and we can expect flashy action in the second season of the anime. The One Punch Man anime is scheduled to air in April 2019!
