Everyone in the fandom of One Punch Man is overjoyed that the show will return for a third season. It was announced on the show’s official website on August 18, 2022, along with the fact that production had begun for season three. Since then, anticipation among viewers has only grown as they await further news about the forthcoming season. In terms of story, One Punch Man could easily support two further seasons of adaptation. Significant advancements have been made in the manga, and one of the finest plot arcs from the manga will be animated in the following season.
Let’s analyse the season’s prior announcements and release dates to see if we can estimate when the next season could drop. The third season of One Punch Man has been confirmed, and a release window and prominent image have been released. The third season of One Punch Man is now under development, according to the official Twitter account for the series. It was announced on the website as well, which was linked to in the tweet.
Season one of the show was announced in March of 2015, and the premiere happened in October or thereabouts of that year. The second season premiered in 2019, after being announced in 2016. However, in September 2017, it was announced that the show’s studio and director were switching for season two. If nothing unforeseen happens during the production of the third season, the show should premiere in September 2023. There will be more updates this year, and fans can find them on the official website and in the r/OnePunchMan subreddit.
How can we anticipate the third season of One Punch Man?
After two seasons with only 12 episodes each, it’s safe to assume that this new season will follow suit. About 41 chapters were covered in the first season, while another 43 were covered in the second. After finishing off with chapter 85 in the current season, the arc involving the Monsters Association will continue into the new one. This is due to the fact that the most recent arc of the story has concluded, and if the third season is to adapt all 87 chapters, it needs to include a minimum of 24 episodes. It has been decided that Garou will be the season’s primary protagonist. The Creatures Association monsters wreak havoc, and the heroes have designs on their lair. A few of the heroes we met at the beginning will get to use their super abilities now that they’ll get more screen time.
However, new heroes will be added this season, such as Zombieman. Orochi, the head of the Monsters Association, will also make his first appearance in the forthcoming season. Assuming all goes as planned, season 3 of One Punch Man will wrap off with a translation of chapter 138. This is because God, a mysterious being, will make an appearance. This is a great chance for the show to conclude on a high note, unlike the disappointing finale of season 2. The series will contain a lot of battles, including Garou vs. Bang and Garou vs. Saitama if it decides to adopt the complete Monsters Association narrative and runs for 24 episodes.
