 The third episode of "One Punch Man" Season 1 is titled "The Obsessive Scientist." In this episode, Dr. Kuseno, a scientist, admits that he was the one who transformed Genos into a cyborg when Saitama and Genos visit the Hero Association for their physical examinations.

Adjectives and adverbs are used to describe the characters and events in the episode.

A type of honorific language called keigo, which is usually used in formal settings to express respect for superiors or other authorities, are used in the episode.

The second episode of Season 1 of "One Punch Man" is titled "The Lone Cyborg." 

In this episode, the protagonist, Saitama, meets Genos, a cyborg who wants to be his student. This episode is so interesting—from the VFX to the storytelling, I really enjoy it. Genos tells Saitama the story of how Dr. Kuseno, a scientist, transformed him into a cyborg after an enormous monster obliterated his hometown.

Particles like "wa," "ga," "ni," and "de," which are used to indicate the grammatical link between various elements of a phrase, are present in the episode. In addition, unlike English, where the word order is typically subject-verb-object, Japanese is frequently subject-object-verb. These are basic differences between Japanese and English in a micro sense.

 We will now be working towards anime! I'm super excited to be watching One Punch Man!

The first episode of "One Punch Man" season 1 is titled "The Strongest Man." The episode introduces Saitama, the main character, who is currently training to become the world's strongest hero. 

Even though he looks rather normal, he has this incredible power, which allows him to beat anyone with a single blow.

I do have the capability to recognize and understand more Japanese words and phrases throughout this episode. "One Punch Man" is a popular anime showcasing various aspects of Japanese culture, including its unique storytelling style, humor, and art. By watching the show, I can understand more about Japanese culture and how it influences its media.

This week we're going to explore Osaka! The speaker is in Osaka Station and is looking for Kanji to share with the audience. Osaka Station is crowded on weekdays, and it even begins to snow! The speaker points out some nearby tall structures as well around Osaka. 

Towards the middle of the video, the speaker asks us whether we like the city of the country. Because the speaker does not like crowds and prefers peace, they prefer the countryside.

In connection to my Japanese learning, the dialogue dives into present tense きました (came), the -て form 歩いて (walk around), and the potential form することができます (can donate). 

The speaker also uses particles like に (at), を (object particle), and ね (a sentence-ending particle used for seeking agreement).
