Announced during the anime’s 10th anniversary celebration, the third season will officially premiere in October 2025 , igniting excitement across the fandom.
The new promotional video doesn’t show much but is already generating buzz by focusing on the mighty S-Class heroes , signaling the arrival of the intense and fan-favorite Monster Association arc . It’s a long-awaited payoff for fans who’ve been hungry for the next big chapter since Season 2 aired in 2019.

This next installment will spotlight the upper echelon of the Hero Association—the S-Class heroes—as they face off against the monstrous Executives of the Monster Association. Heavy-hitters like Tatsumaki, Bang, Atomic Samurai, and flashy newcomer Blast are expected to get more screentime. The anime also inches closer to the highly anticipated clash between Garou and Saitama , though it’s unclear how far this season will go.
The official teaser, titled “The Strongest Ver.” , was released via One-Punch Man’s official Twitter account and YouTube, stoking hype with dark visuals and ominous tones. While the teaser avoids major plot reveals, its message is clear: this will be the most action-packed season yet.
J.C. Staff Returns—Can They Deliver?

While J.C. Staff returns to produce Season 3—despite the mixed reception to their work on Season 2—they’ve promised improvements across the board. Fans are cautiously optimistic, especially with the extended development time suggesting more attention to animation quality and fight choreography. The returning voice cast is also expected to reprise their roles, maintaining consistency with previous seasons.
Based on the manga by ONE and illustrated by Yusuke Murata , One-Punch Man has always blended outrageous humor with bone-crushing action. Season 1, produced by Madhouse , set the bar incredibly high with its stellar animation. Season 2’s shift in production led to disappointment for some, but anticipation remains sky-high given the story’s progression and the source material’s legendary reputation.
With the October 2025 premiere now locked in, fans finally have a clear countdown to what could be One-Punch Man ’s most explosive season yet. Whether you’re here for the laughs, the jaw-dropping battles, or the long-awaited return of bald-headed hero Saitama, this new chapter is one you won’t want to miss.
