Saitama, the hero of One Punch Man, will come back – but when can fans expect his new adventures in Season 3?
The story of One Punch Man revolves around Saitama, a bald-headed hero who began training out of sheer boredom. After three years of intense training, he became so powerful that he can defeat any opponent with just a single punch. But when will the anime continue with Season 3? Here’s what we know so far.
One Punch Man: Season 3 Officially Confirmed
After the release of the second season in April 2019, the series went quiet for a while. However, in August 2022, the exciting news came: One Punch Man will be returning for a third season. According to the streaming service Crunchyroll, production is already underway.
Unfortunately, there is no official release date yet. To appease fans, the creators have released a poster featuring Saitama and the villain Garou, who already played a central role in Season 2. The upcoming season is expected to focus even more on Garou.
When Will One Punch Man Season 3 Premiere?
The exact release date for Season 3 is still unknown, but there’s reason for optimism. Since the announcement has already been made, speculation suggests the new episodes could air sometime between mid to late 2024. A trailer is also likely to be released beforehand to further build excitement.
For those who can’t wait, the story continues in the manga, which is ahead of the anime. Season 2 ends around Chapter 84 of the manga. To find out what happens next with Saitama, Garou, and the other characters, you can start reading from Chapter 85 or Volume 17.
What is One Punch Man About?
One Punch Man tells the story of a hero who gained extraordinary powers through rigorous training. Saitama is so strong that he can win any fight with a single punch. However, this has led to deep frustration, as he no longer feels the thrill of a challenging battle. This pushes him into an existential crisis, where he begins to question his pursuit of strength.
