One Punch Man

In a world where having superpowers is the norm, heroes fight day and night against the villains who terrorize the populace in order to keep peace and order in the society.

After accidentally killing the son of a prominent government official while fighting, Mugen and Jin are seized by police, and are sentenced to summary execution. Fuu successfully saves these two warriors, and hires them to accompany her during her daring question to find a samurai “who smells of sunflowers” which may lead her to finding her father. Available on Crunchyroll.
