Streaming Details for North America and Beyond
Viz Media has confirmed the streaming rollout for One-Punch Man Season 3. In addition to Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ in Canada, fans in Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand will be able to stream the series on Netflix and Crunchyroll. Crunchyroll will also handle distribution for viewers in Europe and the Middle East. New episodes are expected to release weekly, typically on Sundays.
While many sources confirm the October 12 premiere date for Hulu, some earlier reports indicated that Hulu’s official premiere date was subject to a later announcement, though recent confirmations from multiple outlets solidify the date.
The Monster Association Arc: What to Expect
The third season is poised to adapt the intricate and action-packed Monster Association Arc from ONE’s original webcomic and Yusuke Murata’s acclaimed manga. This storyline sees the emergence of the powerful Monster Association, led by figures like Orochi and Gyoro Gyoro, challenging the very foundation of the Hero Association.
The arc is renowned for escalating the conflict to an all-out war between heroes and monsters, pushing even the elite S-Class heroes to their limits. It also further explores the character of Garou, whose evolution into a significant adversary will be a central focus. Saitama, ever the unassuming hero, will find himself in the thick of the chaos, often observing the escalating events with his characteristic deadpan humor.
Production and Returning Talent
J.C. Staff returns from the second season to animate One-Punch Man Season 3. Shinpei Nagai takes over as director, replacing Chikara Sakurai. Tomohiro Suzuki is reprising his role for series composition, and Chikashi Kubota also returns as a character designer, joined by Shinjiro Kuroda and Ryōsuke Shirakawa.
The main voice cast is also confirmed to return, with Makoto Furukawa as Saitama and Kaito Ishikawa as his cyborg disciple Genos. Other fan-favorite characters like Garou (voiced by Hikaru Midorikawa), King (Hiroki Yasumoto), and Terrible Tornado (Aoi Yuki) are also expected to feature prominently.
Episode Count and Music
One-Punch Man Season 3 is anticipated to consist of 12 episodes, maintaining the same length as its preceding seasons. This will allow the adaptation of a significant portion of the Monster Association Arc.
The opening theme song for the season is “Get No Satisfied!”, performed by JAM Project featuring Babymetal, while the ending theme song is “Soko ni Aru Akari” (The Light, That’s There), performed by Makoto Furukawa.
With its blend of high-octane action, sharp satire, and unique characters, One-Punch Man Season 3 is set to be a highlight of the fall anime season, continuing Saitama’s quest for a truly challenging opponent.
