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 is releasing in 2025.LATEST VIDEOS FROM gamesradarhttps://imasdk.googleapis.com/js/core/bridge3.682.0_en.html#goog_3780148510 seconds of 40 secondsVolume 0%Loading ad PLAY SOUND
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?
One-Punch Man season 3 will continue the Monster Association arc from 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.
Instead, the Monster Association wants an all-out war between heroes and monsters, led by Orochi and Gyoro. Also in season 2, hero hunter Garou is confronted by various heroes wanting to prove their worth to the Hero Association – including Death Gatling. It leads to a fight between Saitama’s protege Genos and Garou, with the latter being saved by the Monster Association’s Phoenix Man.

Inevitably, Saitama – having been sidetracked by attempting to best King at video games – comes and saves the day. He kills the monster Elder Centipede and remarks that a despondent Genos needs “power” to improve as a hero. So, that’s where we’re at. What’s next for One-Punch Man season 3? If you’re following along in the manga, we’re starting from chapter 86.
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.
