* AfterTheEnd: [[spoiler:It isn't actually brought up until the middle of the story. As Amai Mask explains to Saitama in Supreme Hero arc, the world originally was made of many different nations, not unlike our own. The nations [[ForeverWar fought multiple world wars with each other over natural resources]], and eventually it got so bad and killed so many people that they all decided to [[EnemyMine make up and band together]] to preserve the future and prioritize the future generations by creating a unified language and a world government. Unfortunately, it was too late, and the effects of these wars continued to harm the world. As a result of the world wars, toxicity rose, which eventually gave rise to monsters and other dangerous natural conditions, which destroyed all of humanity save those living on the main supercontinent where the series takes place. The civilization in ''One-Punch Man'' is a post-apocalyptic last stand against the [[GaiasVengeance hostile natural forces]] of the world, which were created and/or provoked by humanity's own hubris.]]

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: After following the webcomic mostly in the same structure and tone for years, the manga slowly started to show a tonal shift in how the characters, heroes and antagonists alike, are portrayed; by the later parts of the Monster Association arc and beyond the manga went further with adding original content, or slightly diverging, from the source material, not only that but characters with pronounced flaws, such as many heroes in the S-Class, or an antagonist such as Garou, had several positive traits added to them, shying away from their apparent flaws present in the webcomic. One specific plot point was completely altered between the webcomic and manga to settle that tonal shift, [[spoiler:Garou's disdain for heroics originally used the entire S-Class as an example for what he truly hated about the status quo, but since the manga mixes their flaws with much more apparent qualities, Garou's motive rant does not use the S-Class as a backdrop at all, instead the type of heroes Garou despises is portrayed by random lower class heroes who antagonize him after his defeat]]. Characters who were already good people in the webcomic become even nicer in the manga as well, Saitama for one is friendlier than his original counterpart, his proximity toward Genos much later in the series is a shining difference between versions.

She ''does'' react to him saying that he and Fubuki aren't friends. Then, she acts very dejected when he describes their relationship as just acquaintances.

When they are fighting together, Genos gets very physically close to Tatsumaki, they banter, and Tatsumaki becomes very shocked if Genos suffers damage. At one point, missing his arms and legs, he even crawls on top of her to protect her. Given that he probably has had the requisite parts surgically removed when he became a cyborg and she is emotionally and socially stunted, they probably don't and even '''can't''' see it as anything more than battlefield etiquette.

* AssholeVictim: Literally every single monster out there, who attempt to kill multiple people. Quite a few humans suffer from this, this too such as the random thief who goes around looting when the Mosquito Girl shows up, only to be killed by a gigantic swarm of mosquitoes literally sucking the lifeblood out of him. And anyone dumb enough to kill, threaten, or attack civilians, or the heroes attempting to defend them when Saitama is around.

* NominalHero: InUniverse, the term "hero" is not used in the traditional sense anymore and designates someone from the Hero Association. Consequently, every hero known so far is technically a NominalHero by being [[PunchClockHero Punch Clock Heroes]]. In fact a good chunk of the low-level heroes from the association are nothing more than glory-hogs seeking to look good. Others like Genos or Amai Mask seek revenge against the monsters; Superalloy Darkshine wants to feel good about himself; King was forcibly drafted into the association; Terrible Tornado simply enjoys slaughtering monsters.
** Saitama is the best example since he is a hero for a hobby. Although he is a decent man, he explicitly only wants to fight monsters, having no interest in saving civilians or actively stopping the threat of the monsters. He in fact slacks off his duty as a hero, only doing the minimum required to stay active.

Although he is a decent man, he explicitly only wants to fight monsters, having no interest in saving civilians or actively stopping the threat of the monsters.

**S-Class Hero Metal Knight appears to have no interest in actually saving people or bringing justice, only fighting monsters to test weapons or study them. Private conversations with his former protege Child Emperor reveal that he does believe in a sort of justice and is fighting for it (and encourages Child Emperor to do the same), but it's so cold and pragmatic that it doesn't look heroic at all. While the other heroes have their own foibles and personality flaws, Bofoi is mainly interested in obtaining more experimental subjects instead of saving lives.
** A-Class hero Amai Mask is a {{Bishonen}} pop idol who cares more about appearance than saving lives and has enough sway with the Hero Association that he gets a say over which heroes are allowed to advance to S-Class. Best showed when during AlienInvasion, he only shows up after the battle is over, so he can bawl out the other heroes for not doing a good enough job (in his opinion) and [[EstablishingCharacterMoment slaughter some aliens who had already surrendered]]. [[spoiler: Supreme Hero Arc in webcomic seems to give a more deconstructed variaton of this trope for Amai Mask however, and it gets a bit more complicated.]]

-->''"My name is SAITAMA. I am a hero. My hobby is hero activity. I became strong too much. Therefore, I am very sad. Any enemies will push down with one blow. Hair was also lost. Feeling was also lost. I want the upsurge of sentiment of a battle. I would like to meet the strongest enemy. I would like to meet a matchless enemy. And I would like to push down with one blow. It is because I am a one punch-man."''

However, the manga still keeps to the webcomic's arc structure, moving onto the Psychic Sisters Arc afterwards, while making relevant changes based on the Monster Association Arc's changes.

* UpToEleven: Saitama's strength training is absurdly simplistic and played for laughs, but it prepared him to defeat skyscraper-sized monsters with less effort than Superman does... somehow. The other characters who have heard his explanation comment on how flat-out impossible his strength is when compared to what he claims to have done.
** Not simply his strength, but his ''speed'' is so far beyond super-human, it is ridiculous. During the first confrontation with "Speed of Sound" Sonic, Sonic spends half a chapter trying to intimidate Saitama by ricocheting randomly off the trees around him at superhuman speed. When Sonic asks if he can even see him, Saitama ''instantly turns his head'' towards him (with a disturbingly [[MotionBlur motion-blurred]] face) to ask if he can go home now.
** Equally Saitama is lazy beyond anything seen in a shonen, to the point where half the time, the artist can't even be bothered with shading him in.
** Happens literally in the fight against the Sea King. Stinger, Lightning Max, Puri-Puri Prisoner, Speed of Sound Sonic, Jet Nice Guy, All Back-man, Buzz-Buzz Man, "Snake Fist" Sneck, Genos, and Mumen Rider are all beaten until Saitama comes by and one-shots the beast.
