Despite the fact that there is a lot of content accessible since it has around 24 volumes, production on Saitama’s future adventures has been slow. As a result, the best thing for anime fans to do right now is to wait. They can also revisit the first two seasons, as well as the prequel about Saitama.
The prequel was released in 2015, laying the groundwork for “One Punch Man.”
With little to no news on “One Punch Man,” the best thing to examine for the time being is the accessible materials and how the first two seasons fared. As of Jan. 22, there had been 24 volumes of the manga, demonstrating that there is more than enough material to go around. On December 3, 2021, Yusuke Murata released the most recent volume in Japan.
As a result, the question of why Season 3 has taken so long to release has arisen. Of course, there are other issues to consider, one of which is the pandemic, which has restricted everyone’s movement.
Assuming that things return to normal or are handled, the best bet for the third season is to employ volumes 17 through 24. The first season adapted volumes 1–8, while the second season adapted volumes 9–16.
In terms of sales, the One Punch Man Blu-ray sold approximately 10,500 copies per disc during the first season. Only 1,300 copies of the second season were sold.
The results could improve, and there are other aspects to consider. Because of the epidemic, some people may be holding back on their spending power, and some may even lose their employment. That might happen shortly.
However, there are still copies in print for OPM, as well as paraphernalia available. Overall, “One Punch Man” has performed well financially, thus there is no reason to believe that a third season will not be released.
In any case, the earliest a “One Punch Man” Season 3 might be expected is in the fourth quarter of 2022. Updates are expected in the next months, so anime fans will have to wait and see.
