One-Punch Man Season 3 Announced

Get ready to see Saitama back in action because One-Punch Man Season 3 is officially on its way. Yeah, you heard that right! The beloved anime that had us all hooked is gearing up for another season. The production wheels are turning, and guess what? Chikashi Kubota, the genius behind the character designs in the first two seasons, is coming back to sprinkle his magic once more.

And here’s the scoop on One-Punch Man Season 3: the big reveal came through the anime’s official website. They even dropped a teaser poster to get us all hyped up. On it, you’ve got Saitama and Garou, chilling back-to-back in that mysterious way of theirs. Yep, Garou – the bad boy we got to know in Season 2 – looks like he’s playing a big part again. But as for what’s going down this season? Well, they’re keeping those cards close to their chest.

When Will One-Punch Man Season 3 Come Out?

So, you’re probably wondering, “when will One-Punch Man Season 3 come out?” The short answer is—we don’t have a release date just yet. The anime gods haven’t blessed us with that info, and there’s also some buzz about whether we’ll see a new studio taking on the animation. Remember the switch from Madhouse to J.C. Staff after Season 1? Yep, that could be happening again. And while we’re on the topic of numbers, how many episodes are we getting? While nothing’s set in stone, if past seasons are anything to go by, we might be looking at around 12 episodes. Keep those fingers crossed!

Born from the imaginative mind of ONE and hitting the shelves back in 2009, One-Punch Man burst onto the scene as a kick-ass manga before making the leap to our screens with its anime debut in 2016. Fast forward a bit, and 2019 rolls around with Season 2 dropping, bringing us even more of that epic storyline.

In “One Punch Man Season 2,” Saitama, who initially embraced the hero gig purely for kicks, recounts the tale of his rather “unconventional” three-year training regimen that turned him into an unbeatable force, capable of knocking out foes with just one whack. Rolling into this new season, he’s all set to team up with Genos, his loyal cyborg sidekick, taking on the world of professional heroism under the guidance of the Hero Association.

But here’s the twist – we’re seeing more monsters popping up than ever before, kinda like Madame Shibabawa’s gloomy prophecy about Earth hitting a rough patch might actually be spot on. And right when things are getting extra dicey, enter Garou, the so-called “hero hunter.” It’s like he’s got his own agenda amidst all this chaos.

Alright, so who is this One-Punch Man everyone’s buzzing about? If you’ve been living under a rock, here’s the lowdown. Saitama, our bald hero with a rather unique dilemma, is so incredibly strong that he can end any battle with a single punch. Yeah, just one. Sounds awesome, right? Well, it turns out, it’s a bit of a bummer for him. The thrill of battle? Gone. The excitement of a worthy foe? Nada. This guy’s on the hunt for someone who can actually give him a run for his money.

Season 1 kicks off with us getting a peek into Saitama’s rather mundane daily life, aside from the whole superpower thing. We see him taking out villains and monsters with ease, but yawn, it’s just another day for him. The season dives deep into what it means to be a hero beyond just the flashy fights and fame. It’s funny, it’s action-packed, and honestly, it’s kind of a fresh take on the whole superhero genre. Plus, it’s where we meet the fan-favorite, Genos, the cyborg seeking vengeance, who decides the best way forward is to become Saitama’s disciple. Together, they start navigating the wacky world of professional heroism, ruffling feathers and punching… well, everything.

Also, here’s a fun tidbit for ya – One-Punch Man isn’t just sticking to the animated realm. Nope, it’s breaking into the world of live-action, thanks to Sony. And who do they have steering this ship? None other than Justin Lin, the genius behind some of the Fast & Furious movies. Talk about an exciting pick! Lin’s not going solo on this adventure, though. He’s teaming up with script wizards Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinker. These are the brains who brought us Jumanji: The Next Level and Venom, so you know the story’s in good hands. As for who’s gonna slip into Saitama’s iconic yellow suit? Well, stay tuned, because that bit of casting news is still up in the air and for now, we’ll get one punch man season 3.
