One-Punch Man Season 3 Release Date: Is It Renewed or Cancelled?

By Rupinder Kaur On Jan 31, 2023

The popular anime series One Punch Man is based on a manga, which in turn is based on another manga. The original source material is known for drawings that look like scribbles. However, the strong story makes up for the scribble-like drawings.

Fans are waiting to hear about a third season of the anime version, which has been well received for its first two seasons. One Punch Man Season 3 is real and will be on your screens soon.

One Punch Man Season 3 has been announced, and the series' main character, Saitama, will be back along with the show's new bad guy. Here is everything you need to know about the new season, including who is in it, what happens, and more.

When Will One-Punch Man Season 3 Come Out?

On August 18, 2022, it was confirmed that there would be a third season of One-Punch Man, but no date has been given. Some rumours say that One-Punch Man season 3 might come out in 2023, but you should take them with a grain of salt.

If you're wondering why it's taken so long for a third season to be announced, it's because the global Covid-19 pandemic has changed production schedules and some of the main creative forces are now busy with other projects.

Shingo Natsume, who directed the first two seasons, is now working on a new show called Yojohan Time Machine Blues. We'll have to wait at least until he has time and energy for Saitama and his friends again.

In the same way, another question is which studio will make it. Between seasons one and two, animation moved from the famous Madhouse, which made Paprika and Death Note, among many other well-known shows and movies, to the less famous JC Staff.

People noticed a drop in quality after that, and it's not clear if JC Staff will stick with it or if they'll bring in a new team.

Who is Coming Back for One-Punch Man Season 3?

One-Punch Man's next season will, of course, have a lot to do with Saitama and Genos, his student. We expect all of our favourite One-Punch Man characters to come back, not just these two.

On the heroic side, you can expect to see people like Atomic Samurai, Child Emperor, Metal Knight, and Zombieman, among many others, in the higher levels of the organisation. We don't know much about the other monsters because Saitama killed most of them, but we do know that Garou and Orochi will be important.

What Could Happen in Season 3 of One-Punch Man?

We don't know for sure what One-Punch Man season 3 will be about, but the manga gives us a good idea. At the end of season 2, Saitama kills the Dragon-level Monster Association member Elder Centipede. This gave the arc a natural place to end.

In the manga, the story moves on to Garou, who is a very good hero hunter and one of the best anime villains of recent years. It also goes into more detail about the Monster Association. Everything leads up to a war between heroes and monsters, with high-level bad guys like Royal Ripper, Evil Natural Water, and Fuhrer Ugly.

As their adventures change the political scene, Saitama and Genos continue to take a bit of a back seat. But the only thing you can be sure of is that there will be more crazy fights. That is until Saitama can throw a good right hook.

Is There Any Trailer for One-Punch Man Season 3?

As we know there is no official announcement on One-Punch Man Season 3. So there is no trailer yet. You can watch the trailer for One-Punch Man Season 2 below.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will One Punch Man Have a Third Season?

We were told that One-Punch Man would come back for a third season in August 2022, but since then, we haven't heard much about what will happen.

Why is Season 3 of One Punch Man Taking So Long?

The first and second seasons of the anime were separated by four years, so it made sense that the third season would also be four years apart. Still, the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed the project back even more, which is why it is taking so long.

Who Will Saitama Fight in Season 3?

The most exciting part of Saitama's story will happen in Season 3 of One-Punch Man. Since the first two seasons were based on volumes 1–16 of the manga, Season 3 will likely cover volumes 17–24 and end with Saitama and Orochi's epic battle.
