One Punch Man Season 3 Release Date Confirmed
Anime’s official channels have announced that the One Punch Man Season 3 release date has been fixed for October 12, 2025. This season will be released globally, and different streaming platforms have been confirmed for each region. In the United States, it will stream on Hulu; in Canada, on Disney+; and in Europe and the Middle East, it will be available on Crunchyroll. For Asia, including India, a release on Crunchyroll or Netflix is also expected, but official confirmation is still pending.
Fans are in for another treat. A week before the release, on October 5, 2025, a special recap episode will be released which will be a complete summary of Season 2. Its aim is to refresh old fans and connect new viewers with the story.
Storyline: Monster Association Arc
The storyline of Season 3 will continue directly from the end of Season 2, where Garou is taken to the Monster Association. Now, a large-scale war is about to break out between the S-Class heroes and the Monster Association. This arc is considered one of the most intense and longest arcs in the manga, and it will offer heroic action as well as emotional depth.
This season, we’ll see some explosive fights like Saitama vs. Monster King Orochi, Garou’s full transformation, and high-energy battles between S-Class heroes like Tatsumaki, Genos, Bang, and Flashy Flash. This arc explores not just action, but also the moral conflict of whether becoming a monster is a human thing.
According to fans, the Monster Association arc was the most awaited chapter of the One Punch Man manga. If J.C. Staff paid attention to animation quality, this season could be one of the best seasons in anime history.
Animation Studio: J.C. Staff Is Back
The animation studio for Season 3 will once again be handled by J.C. Staff, who was also responsible for Season 2. Season 1 was produced by Madhouse, whose animation is still considered legendary. Fans expressed some disappointment with the animation quality during Season 2, but this time the studio has promised improvement.
New director Shinpei Nagai has been appointed for Season 3, who is leading the project with fresh energy. Art direction is in the hands of Sakura Murakami, and cinematography is handled by Yuki Hirose. The most exciting part is that Makoto Miyazaki, who was the composer of Season 1, has returned. This means that both the background music and fight scenes are going to be high-impact.
Cast & Characters
In Season 3, we will hear some new faces along with familiar voices.
Main Cast:
- Saitama – Makoto Furukawa
- Genos – Kaito Ishikawa
- Garou – Hikaru Midorikawa

- Bang – Kazuhiro Yamaji
- Fubuki – Saori Hayami
New Villains:

This means the lineup of villains this season is going to be massive and terrifying. Both the designs and voice acting of the Monster Association characters look very impressive, making this season even more thrilling.
