After six long years, the world’s most overpowered (and underwhelmed) hero is finally making a comeback. ‘One-Punch Man’ season 3 is officially set to premiere on October 5, bringing Saitama back into the ring — and fans are already bracing for impact.
Since the explosive finale of season 2 aired in 2019, the anime landscape has shifted dramatically. New titans like ‘Chainsaw Man’ and ‘Solo Leveling’ have taken center stage, ‘Demon Slayer’ has released four seasons, and ‘Attack on Titan’ has wrapped up its epic saga. But despite the changing tides, anticipation for ‘One-Punch Man’ has only grown — and now, the wait is nearly over.
Season 3 promises to dive headfirst into the high-stakes Monster Association arc, a fan-favorite stretch of the manga known for its intense battles, dark twists, and a deeper look at heroes beyond Saitama’s blank stare and one-hit knockouts. But excitement is mixed with skepticism, particularly after the release of a recent commercial teasing the upcoming season.

Produced by JC Staff, the new footage has stirred debate online, with some fans worried about the animation quality. While the clip hints at key moments from the first two episodes, its static presentation has raised eyebrows — especially considering the long development time.
Still, die-hard fans are holding out hope that the finished product will deliver the same kinetic energy and satirical brilliance that made the original season an instant classic.
Whether it’s a triumphant return or a cautious step forward, one thing is certain: Saitama is back, and October can’t come soon enough.
