Storyline and Arcs Covered
Season 3 of One Punch Man picks up right after the events of Season 2 and dives into the intense Monster Association Arc. This storyline explores large-scale battles between the Hero Association and the powerful monsters threatening humanity.
Saitama, still seeking a worthy opponent who can withstand a single punch, finds himself in the middle of escalating chaos. Meanwhile, other heroes like Genos, Bang, and King face their own challenges as new villains emerge. The upcoming episodes will showcase more action, emotional stakes, and character growth than ever before.
The anime will adapt the manga starting from Chapter 86 onward, which includes some of the most highly anticipated fights in the entire series.
Production and Cast Details
Season 3 is being produced by J.C. Staff, the same studio responsible for Season 2. While some fans had concerns about the studio’s animation quality in the past, early trailers suggest noticeable improvements for this season.
The direction has shifted slightly, with Shinpei Nagai leading production and Sakura Murakami handling art direction. Yuki Hirose serves as the director of photography, ensuring the series retains its cinematic action sequences.
Returning cast members include Makoto Furukawa as Saitama and Kaito Ishikawa as Genos. Their performances remain central to maintaining the show’s signature tone of comedy and intensity.
The opening theme for the new season is titled Get No Satisfied! performed by JAM Project, featuring BABYMETAL, while the ending theme is sung by Makoto Furukawa himself.
Expected Episode Count
Although the exact number of episodes hasn’t been officially confirmed, most industry reports suggest that One Punch Man Season 3 will feature around 12 episodes, matching the format of Season 2.
Given that Season 1 had a longer run of 12 episodes and Season 2 followed the same pattern, it’s reasonable to expect the new season to stick to this single-cour format, focusing on higher-quality animation and pacing.
