EPISODE CONTEXT
As the Season 2 premiere, 'Return of the Hero' functions as a bridge from Season 1's explosive finale, reorienting viewers in Saitama's world while expanding the hero ecosystem with characters like King. It deliberately plants seeds for the season's central tensions, with the very next episode, 'Human Monster,' introducing Garou — the antagonist who will define the season's trajectory. This is setup in the truest sense: character positioning and tonal calibration before the real escalation begins.
