One-Punch Man Season 3 Release Date, Updates & Expected Plot

One Punch Man is not just an anime but an emotion since its release in 2015. The anime gained immense popularity with both the Japanese and Western audiences alike. 

One Punch Man is written by the artist ONE. ONE wrote the original webmanga version in early 2009, which got adapted into a manga. Later it got adapted into the anime series that we all know and love.

One Punch Man season 1 aired in October-December 2015 with 12 episodes. With intense fights, humor, and determination to grow stronger giving us a complete action package that we still love to this day.

We had to wait for a long four years for season 2, which was finally released in 2019 with 12 episodes. Those 12 episodes felt so short as it ended with a cliffhanger and made us thirst for more. 

Making fans like me, all in anticipation if there ever will be a season 3 for One Punch Man.

1. Will there be a Season 3 for One Punch Man?

Season 1 was a huge success, thanks to the production from Madhouse. Season 2 didn’t live up to the expectations like season 1 did as J.C Staff Studio produced it.

Season 3 for One Punch Man has been confirmed officially. Assuming there are no delays during the third season’s production, fans may expect this series to be released in September 2023. The anime might be available to stream on Crunchyroll with 12 new episodes just like the previous seasons.

2. When will One Punch Man season 3 be released?

Season 2 was released four years after season 1. If a similar schedule is followed, we may likely see the release of One Punch Man season 3 by 2023. Until then, we must wait patiently while flashing back to the sweet memories of seasons 1 & 2.

3. Is There Enough Source Material For Season 3?

Source material plays a vital role in determining the possibility of a sequel. With that said, One Punch Man manga currently has 23 volumes. Season 1 used 1-7 volumes for the anime adaptation, while season 2 used 8-16 manga volumes.

The author of One Punch Man stated that he would be going on break for a month. The later chapter will focus on Garou and will be the season’s major emphasis. The Monsters Association is wreaking devastation, and the heroes want to invade their hideout as well.

Some of the earlier revealed heroes will be given screen time to demonstrate their abilities. Having said that, more heroes, such as Zombieman, will be added this season. Orochi, the Monsters Association’s leader, will also make his debut in the forthcoming season.

4. Plot-What To Expect From One Punch Man Season 3?

One-Punch Man season 3 will most likely follow the Monster Association Arc. The Heroes Association launches an attack on their evil counterparts, with all the major S-Class heroes infiltrating their hideout and engaging in one-on-one battles.

This should mean that season 3 is an action-packed affair with plenty of epic fight scenes. We may not see much of Genos in the next season of One Punch Man.

Season 3 will likely focus more on other characters such as Child Emperor, Atomic Samurai and Garou, and introduce a raft of new Monsters. Fortunately, Saitama also takes part in a secret mission, so we may see some fabulous punches coming along the way.

9. About One Punch Man

One-Punch Man is a Japanese superhero webcomic created by the artist One in early 2009. It has a manga adaptation illustrated by Yusuke Murata, as well as an anime adaptation. Following its publication, the webcomic quickly went viral, surpassing 7.9 million hits in June 2012.

On an unnamed Earth-like supercontinent planet, powerful monsters and villains have been wreaking havoc in the cities. To combat them, the world’s government created a Hero Association that employs superheroes to stop them. The heroes are ranked from Class C to Class S.

Saitama, an unassociated hero, hails from the metropolis of City-Z and performs heroic deeds for his own entertainment. He has trained himself to the point where he broke his “limit” and can effortlessly defeat any opponent with a single punch while slaying monsters the same way. But he is now bored with his omnipotence and frustrated by sensing he lacks a challenge.
