On October 12th, 2025, the long-awaited third season of the hit anime series One Punch Man is set to premiere, marking the show's return after a 6-year hiatus. The series follows the story of Saitama, an ordinary man who has become so powerful that he can defeat any villain with a single punch, leaving him constantly searching for a worthy opponent.
The upcoming season is expected to cover the Monster Association arc, which will see the S-class heroes joining forces to save a hostage taken by the sinister organization. Garou, the "human monster" who was introduced in the previous season, will play a central role as he continues to wrestle with his identity between humanity and monstrosity.
The anime adaptation of One Punch Man went on a break after the second season concluded in 2019, primarily due to production issues. The shift in animation studios from Madhouse to J.C. Staff led to scheduling conflicts and mixed fan reactions. Since then, the development of Season 3 has been a slow process, with updates trickling out over the past two years.
Fans of the series have eagerly awaited the return of the caped baldy Saitama and his quest for excitement and meaning. With the highly anticipated Monster Association arc set to unfold, One Punch Man's third season promises to deliver more thrilling action and captivating storytelling for viewers around the world.
