The strongest superhero will return soon.

The third season of One-Punch Man will air in 2024. It's a show about a tired superhero based on a webcomic by an author with the pseudonym ONE.

What Will Season 3 Be About?

One-Punch Man will continue the Monster Association arc, which reveals the story of Garou. The third season will most likely cover the events from chapter 125 to 170 of the manga. The heroes will enter the dungeon of Z City and fight dangerous monsters: the giant Orochi and his creator, the mystical creature Gyoro Gyoro.

Sweet Mask, the strongest Class A hero and a famous handsome idol, will face the ugly Ugmon, his counterpart. And the S-class hero Pig God will face the monster Gums. At the end of the season, Saitama will face Garou. The outcome of their battle is almost obvious, but the battle is still highly anticipated by fans.

When Will Season 3 Be Released?

The exact premiere date is still unknown but the anime is expected to drop before 2025. The trailer for the upcoming season by J. C. Staff was released in February 2024.

Fans received the video with mixed feelings: many expected the return of Madhouse, the studio that worked on the first season.

One-Punch Man Anime Brought Popularity to the Manga

One-Punch Man first appeared on the screen in October 2015. After the release of the adaptation, the manga's attention increased manifold. In 2016, it won the prestigious Sugoi Japan Award, and the manga's circulation quickly surpassed 30 million copies.

Four years later, in 2019, a second season was released. It caused a lot of controversy: not everyone liked the work of the animation studio J. C. Staff, which replaced Madhouse. But what outraged most was the almost complete absence of the main character.

What Is One-Punch Man About?

According to the plot, monsters and heroes exist in an alternative world. The former – chimeras, dragons, demons, robots, underground dwellers or aliens – want to enslave humanity. The latter – samurai, magicians, strongmen or geniuses – oppose the invaders. This eternal duel between good and evil would be no different from thousands of others were it not for an ordinary unemployed man named Saitama.

He desperately tries to get a job in a good company, but nothing works out. After another unsuccessful interview, he meets the monster – half man, half crab – who is hunting a child.

All because of a joke: the boy drew nipples on the crab with a permanent marker while it was sleeping on a bench in the park. Saitama barely defeats the monster and saves the child. After that, the main character gives up the life of an office worker and decides to become a real hero.
