One Punch Man Inspired Dog Names

Introduction

What if there was a superhero who was so powerful that he could destroy any opponent, regardless of their own strength or size, with just a single punch? He'd be able to effortlessly smash meteorites to pieces, level mountains with the slightest touch, and throw punches with enough speed and velocity to exceed the speed of light! But above all else, this unjustifiably powerful super being would be perpetually, unrelentingly, mercilessly bored with everyday. The webcomic/manga/anime One Punch Man chronicles the life of Saitama, the titular hero of this series who faces a very unique existential crisis by way of trying to find meaning in a world in which he can slay any foe with just one punch.

Watchdog

This entry will require you to suspend your disbelief a bit but, considering that you're likely a fan of a show in which a bald guy wearing pajamas punches city sized monsters to pieces with just one punch, it's probably safe to assume that you'll be willing to go with the flow in this instance. Now the name Watchdog is taken from Watchdog Man, one of the top, S rank heroes in the series who, as his name implies, is simply a man wearing a dog costume. Similarly to Saitama, Watchdog Man almost constantly has a disinterested personality, and seems to be an utter joke of a hero on the surface. But just like Saitama, Watchdog Man's meek demeanor betrays the monstrous power he holds within.

First and foremost, Watchdog man possesses immense strength; right around the time when Watchdog Man first started his career as a hero, Watchdog Man had strength enough to rip the head off of a gigantic monster without so much as breaking a sweat. Indeed, Watchdog Man's power is so great that the Hero Association elected to leave him in charge of protecting Q-City (one of the most dangerous, monster ridden cities in all the land) by himself. As you might've guessed, Watchdog Man was able to defend Q-City almost effortlessly, which earned him the distinction of being able to take out Mysterious Beings faster than any other hero from the Association.

Speaking of speed, Watchdog Man is also insanely fast; the guy was once assailed by 30 monsters at once and he managed to reduce them all to scraps in a matter of seconds. Watchdog Man has also been able to outpace one of the strongest villains in the series, a former student of the hero Bang, by moving quickly enough to become invisible to the naked eye. Watchdog Man's senses are also supremely acute as well; he's got the sense of smell and inborn intuition of a dog to go along with his razor sharp fangs. But what really takes Watchdog Man over the top is the level of commitment he's put in to truly becoming a dog; Watchdog Man never takes off his dog costume, even when he needs to take a bath, and the guy even eats and sleeps like a dog. His fighting style is also completely based on a dog's to the point where Watchdog Man often blocks attacks by extending his paws out as if he was trying to shake his opponent's hand. With so many lupine characters rolled into one, Watchdog Man has earned his place as the premiere canine character in One Punch Man.

Otherwise, the dog from Betsy Byars' book Tornado shares a name with a female member of the Hero Association, Tatsumaki, whose name means tornado in Japanese.

One Punch Man Inspired Dog Name Considerations

Despite how bored Saitama is with his overpowered abilities, the wacky scenarios he often encounters, along with his ditsy, somewhat irreverent personality, make for a surprisingly entertaining and hilarious story. You see, the One Punch Man series satirizes many of the conventional tropes associated with superhero comics, TV shows, and movies by way of the characters who inhabit it. Saitama may seem like a simpleton on the surface, but he often expresses profound ideas from time to time; though Saitama's struggle lies in trying to find meaning a world in which he's too powerful to ever experience the thrill and terror associated with life and death scenarios, he also realizes that the people around him are nowhere near as powerful as he is. And when a sufficiently powerful foe comes along (foes who would otherwise be unstoppable without Saitama's intervention,) the One Punch Man values and respects the heroic hearts that propel his less powerful but nonetheless noble comrades to charge, headfirst, at foes they genuinely have no hope of beating. Considering a dog name from One Punch Man may be perfect if your dog is of the serious type. Does his appearance remind you of a character from the show?

Though Saitama is as dense as a block of raw carbon, the instances where he breaks away from his air-headed, disaffected demeanor often make for some of the most memorable moments in the series. Why give your dog a One Punch Man inspired name? To reflect your solidarity with one of the show's most pertinent underlying themes; swimming against the current and doing what you believe is right, even if you also know it's futile.
