How many arcs does One Punch Man have?

One Punch Man's narrative is organized into several distinct story arcs across both its manga and webcomic iterations. The manga, which is a redrawn version of the original webcomic, features four major sagas that include 19 unique arcs. These range from the Introduction Saga, comprising the Saitama Introduction, House of Evolution, and Paradise Group arcs, to the more intricate Human Monster Saga and Neo Heroes Saga.
