Speed-o'-Sound Sonic or Sonic, for short, is a secondary antagonist in the One-Punch Man Anime and rival of Saitama.

## Biography

During The Paradisers terrorist attacks Sonic was enployed to Zeniru, a wealthy business man. Paid to protect him from the violent group Sonic sought them out to eliminate them. After taking out the group and wounding the leader

Hammerhead. He ran into Saitama who was able to read all of his attacks. Hoping to gain an upper hand he tried to land one last attack however his momentum during the attack carried into his Saitama's fist causing a painful groin attack. Sonic then pledged himself as his rival and left the area.

A few days after the encounter he was discovered by a hunter, Frank. The two bonded and became friends of sorts. While training in the wild he would find a small boar he would name Ino and eventually left the two in search of Saitama.

In City-Z he would find Saitama looking for hero work and while the two were fighting Saitama was being harrassed by a more popular hero Tank Top Tiger. Throwing the man off using his exploding shuriken he able to cause enough trouble to be beaten once again by Saitama and taken into custody.

After the Sea Folk attacked City K and J both he and the S-Class hero Puri Puri Prisoner escaped from prison. The two intercepted the Deep Sea King during his assault on Lightning Max. While it seemed like the two were evenly matched Deep Sea King however defeated Puri Puri Prisoner. While Sonic tried to escape Deep Sea King pursued him and despite him managing to grab Sonic he still escaped. After that he ran into both Saitama and Genos briefly warning Genos of the Deep Sea King.

During the Invasion of the Dark Matter Thieves he planned to attack Saitama again however after seeing the destruction of the City A, the ship, and the debris he walked away.

## Personality

Sonic is extremely smug and quite proud of his abilities. He generally dislikes it when people are able to read his attacks and angers rather quickly. Despite this he was rather friendly with Frank and the boar Ino. Even then he did seem to at least respect Saitama's image as he did take down Tank Top Tiger when he was talking down to Saitama.

During his fight with the Deep Sea King he was able to dodge multiple attacks and successfully harm him as well however the rain quickly changed the odds.
