The wait is almost over for fans of the world’s most powerful, yet perpetually bored, hero! The highly anticipated One-Punch Man Season 3 is gearing up for its grand return, with a brand-new, action-packed trailer released today. This exciting preview offers an exhilarating glimpse into Saitama’s next adventures and the array of formidable villains he’s set to face. Anime enthusiasts can mark their calendars, as the third season is slated to officially kick off on October 12, following a special Season 2 recap broadcast on October 5.
Returning to bring the epic battles to life is Studio J.C.STAFF, the talented team responsible for the second season. They continue to adapt ONE’s beloved webcomic and Yusuke Murata’s renowned serialized manga, ensuring the series stays true to its acclaimed origins. The creative powerhouse behind the scenes includes Tomohiro Suzuki handling the series composition, with Chikashi Kubota, Shinjiro Kuroda, and Ryosuke Shirokawa crafting the distinctive character designs. Makoto Miyazaki will once again compose the unforgettable, pulse-pounding music that scores Saitama’s incredible feats.
For those who might be new to the series, One-Punch Man centers around Saitama, a hero who can defeat any foe with a single punch. While this makes him overwhelmingly powerful, it also leaves him with a unique existential dilemma: can he ever find an opponent strong enough to give his life meaning, or is he destined for a life of superpowered boredom? Season 3 promises to delve deeper into these themes while delivering the spectacular, high-stakes fights that fans have come to expect.
In additional exciting news for dedicated followers, a special One-Punch Man 10th-anniversary exhibition is scheduled to take place in Tokyo during Summer 2026, offering a unique celebration of the franchise’s enduring legacy and impact.
