One Punch Man season 3 has been a hot topic of discussion among avid fans. The anime adaptation of the manga series has been quite successful. While the second season left a lot to be desired, fans are hopeful that J.C. Staff will redeem themselves in the upcoming season. There are plenty of reasons to be excited about the upcoming season of the anime series. That being said, one reason that stands above all. One Punch Man season 3 will adapt the Monster Association arc. Not only is it the longest arc in the manga, but it also has some of the most exciting moments in the series.
The likes of Saitama and Garou will entertain fans in a way they least expect. A show that is universally known for its comedy will portray just how nail-biting a fight sequence can be. The official team has made an announcement with regards to the upcoming season. One Punch Man season 3 has entered the production stage, which means the anime will be released soon.
The third season will not only have incredible fight sequences, but it will also reveal a fraction of Saitama’s true powers. Furthermore, the upcoming story arc will introduce a new antagonist who is being posed to take on the protagonist at the end of the manga series.
One Punch Man Season 3 Release and Production Details
The official sources have announced that One Punch Man season 3 will be released in 2025. The exact release date has not been mentioned yet. However, fans will be informed of the release details as we progress through the months of 2025. Fans can expect the third season to be streamed on Netflix since the platform streamed the first two seasons of the anime series.
The airing of the third season will also mark One Punch Man anime’s 10th anniversary. As per the announcement made during Jump Festa 2025, there will be 10 projects or “Attacks,” which will be released in installments. The release of the third season is one of the projects that will be featured in 2025. Other projects also include a musical event that would feature the main characters of the anime series. Furthermore, the official team uploaded the key visual for the third season featuring characters like Fubuki, Saitama, Suiryu, Deep Sea King, Genos, Garou, and more.
Tomohiro Suzuki will be responsible for the series composition while Makokto Miyazaki will be responsible for the music. Chikashi Kubota, Ryōsuke Shirakawa, and Shinjiro Kuroda will oversee the character design for the upcoming season. As mentioned earlier, J.C. Staff will be responsible for the animation production.
What Arc Will One Punch Man Season 3 Cover?
As mentioned earlier, One Punch Man season 3 will cover a portion of the Monster Association arc, the longest story arc in the series. Therefore, the upcoming season will not cover the entirety of it. It’s hard to estimate how many chapters will be covered since the episode count has not been released yet. However, fans believe that the upcoming season will have a total of 12 episodes. This assumption is based on the episode count featured in the first two seasons. Both the earlier seasons only had 12 episodes each.
Assuming this is the case, fans can expect to see the full strength of the Monster Association. The likes of Homeless Emperor, Fuhrer Ugly, and Evil Natural could make their entries in the upcoming season. One Punch Man season 3 will kickstart by showcasing the much-anticipated fight between Garou, Royal Ripper, and Bug God. The trailer for the upcoming season featured snippets of this fight, and it’s clear that Garou will be the highlight of this season.
Highlights from the Monster Association Arc in One Punch Man
There are a couple of highlights from the Monster Association arc. However, One Punch Man season 3 might not cover these moments since they happen far into the arc. The fight between Saitama and Garou is the most entertaining aspect of the arc. Furthemore, this section of the story will feature Garou’s strongest transformation, making him the strongest antagonist to have ever fought Saitama.
Fans can expect the upcoming season to introduce God. This entity was the reason behind Homeless Emperor’s powers and Garou’s strongest transformation. Additionally, this being stood atop the moon showcasing just how massive and menacing he was. We will also see a horde of monsters who have great character design and an incredible set of powers that will push the heroes to their very limits. In fact, seeing Tatsumaki’s true potential was rather terrifying for the manga readers. There is a reason why Tatsumaki is one of the strongest S-class heroes in the One Punch Man series.
Which Chapter Should You Read Before One Punch Man Season 3 Begins?
The second season ended with the beginning of the Monster Association arc. Therefore, fans can pick up chapter 85 if they want a headstart before the third season is released. There are 93 chapters in this story arc, of which the first 8 have been covered. Fans can read the latest chapters on Viz Media’s official website and on Shueisha’s MANGA Plus application. Both these sources provide the manga chapters with the English translation.
Conclusion
One Punch Man season 3 will be the most exciting season if J.C. Staff nails the adaptation. The anime will be released sometime in 2025. While the exact release date has not been mentioned, fans will be informed as we progress through the first couple of months of the upcoming season. Garou will be the main focus of the upcoming season. Viewers should brace themselves as this story arc consists of some of the most scintillating fight sequences in all of manga. Fans will be interested in seeing whether or not J.C. Staff can bring Murata’s illustrations to life.
