It’s finally happening: Saitama and his famously unstoppable fists are set to return this fall with One-Punch Man season 3 — and fans couldn’t be more excited. Nearly a decade after the show’s debut and six years since its last season, the satirical superhero anime is making a long-awaited comeback to continue the epic Monster Association Arc from the hit manga.
Release Window Confirmed for October 2025
The new season is officially slated for October 2025, although a specific day has yet to be revealed. Traditionally, fall anime seasons launch in the first week of October, so fans are speculating that One-Punch Man will follow suit.
The wait has been nothing short of agonising. Season 1 aired in 2015 and was widely praised for its slick animation and sharp humour. Season 2 arrived in 2019 with a different studio at the helm, leaving fans eager to see what direction the show will take next. Now, after more than half a decade, Saitama is ready to throw his singular punch once again.
“I am truly looking forward to the broadcast of One-Punch Man season 3. We wouldn’t have been able to come this far without the support of our fans. Season 3 will delve deeply into the thrilling new adventures of the S-Class heroes,” said the manga’s creator, ONE, in a July announcement.
What to Expect: Plot & Manga Chapters
Season 3 will pick up where the last instalment left off, adapting more of the Monster Association Arc, one of the manga’s most action-packed and dramatic storylines. This arc sees the S-Class heroes face off against an unprecedented wave of powerful monsters, while Saitama continues his existential search for a fight that can actually challenge him.
With higher stakes, intense battles, and deeper exploration of side characters, this season promises to blend explosive fight sequences with the tongue-in-cheek humour the series is loved for.

Streaming & Distribution
Like the first two seasons, One-Punch Man season 3 is confirmed to stream on Crunchyroll, currently announced for the UK, Ireland, and Europe. While no U.S. streaming partner has been officially named, Hulu remains a strong possibility given its track record with previous seasons.
A major development is that Viz Media has secured the rights to One-Punch Man season 3 across North America, Latin America, and Oceania. The company confirmed on May 27 that additional details about streaming availability in those regions will be announced in the coming weeks.
A Packed Year for Anime Fans
The return of One-Punch Man comes during a loaded year for anime releases. Spy x Family season 3 and My Hero Academia season 8 are also set to drop, making fall 2025 one of the most exciting anime seasons in recent memory.
For now, fans can revisit seasons 1 and 2, catch up on the manga, and speculate on how far season 3 will take the Monster Association storyline. If ONE’s comments are anything to go by, this next chapter will be more explosive, more emotional, and more outrageous than ever.
Bottom Line: The countdown has begun. After years of waiting, Saitama is finally stepping back into the ring — and no monster is safe.
