One-Punch Man season 3 release date speculation

It’s been a while since One-Punch Man last appeared on our screens. The first season debuted way back in 2015, while the second season aired in 2019. In other words, we’ve spent a long time waiting for the One-Punch Man season 3 release date to surface. Right now, all we know is that One-Punch Man season 3 isreleasing in 2025.
Given that we’ve already had a wave of announcements for the spring 2025 season, we’d expect it to appear in the traditionally popular fall window. That typically starts from October 2025. We’ll update you as soon as we hear more.
One-Punch Man season 3 story: which manga chapters will it adapt?
(Image credit: J.C. STAFF)
One-Punch Man season 3 willcontinue the Monster Association arcfrom Yusuke Marata’s manga, which sees the Monster Association arrive at the Hero Association with a message about wanting monsters and heroes to co-exist – something which quickly turns around to be a ruse.

A season of One-Punch Man typically covers around 40-50 chapters of the source material. If that’s the case again, we could expect this season to end around chapter 123 – and the debut of a character known as Psykos (to say any more would be a significant spoiler…)
Until then, expect the perpetually bored Saitama to continue fighting monsters alongside his fellow heroes and Garou to spend more time with the Monster Association as an all-out war ensues. Society’s reaction to the monsters differs, with one splinter group – The Monster Worship Party – submitting themselves to the monsters.

The One-Punch Man season 3 trailer, which you can watch above, shows Garou in action against a clutch of monsters and seemingly stronger than ever. The brief inclusion of Saitama – the eponymous One-Punch Man – suggests that the two are on a collision course sooner rather than later…
The trailer also confirms that J.C. Staff is back on animating duties for the second season in a row.
