But what happened? It turns out that TikTok was temporarily down in the United States this past weekend due to a Supreme Court decision.which ordered the app to be unlinked from any Chinese control. Although the application is now working again, “One-Punch Man – The Strongest” did not suffer the same fate and remains out of service.
Currently, although the application is still available for download outside the United States (for example, in Latin America), The video game will continue sending the constant error of “The server is under maintenance. For more information, see the most recent notice“, due to the aforementioned cessation of services.

One Punch Man Synopsis
Seemingly ordinary and unimpressive Saitama has a rather unique hobby: being a hero. To pursue his childhood dream, he trained relentlessly for three years and lost all his hair in the process. Now, Saitama is incredibly powerful, so much so that no enemy can defeat him in battle. He is so powerful that he only needs to land one blow to defeat his enemies, due to this he is no longer able to enjoy the thrill of battle and has become quite boring.
All this changes with the arrival of Genos, a 19-year-old cyborg, who wants to be Saitama’s disciple after seeing what he is capable of. Genos proposes that the two join the Hero Association to become certified heroes who will be recognized for their positive contributions to society, and Saitama, surprised that no one knows who he is, quickly agrees. And so begins the story of One Punch Man, an action comedy that follows an eccentric individual who longs to fight strong enemies that can hopefully give him the thrill he once felt and just maybe, he will become popular in the process.
