Hulu has officially confirmed it will stream the highly anticipated third season of One-Punch Man and the brand-new anime series Digimon Beatbreak. Both titles will be available in Japanese with English subtitles, with Digimon Beatbreak premiering on October 5, 2025, and One-Punch Man Season 3 following on October 12, 2025.
One-Punch Man Season 3 Heads to Hulu
Fans eager for the return of Saitama, the hero who defeats any foe with a single punch, can mark their calendars for October 12, 2025, when One-Punch Man Season 3 begins streaming on Hulu. The season is set to premiere in Japan on October 5, 2025, though initial reports suggest the first episode might be a recap of Season 2, with new content starting the following week.
The anime’s third season continues the saga of Saitama and the Hero Association as they face off against the formidable Monster Association. J.C. Staff, the studio behind the second season, is returning for production. Viz Media holds the North American rights for One-Punch Man, and given Hulu’s exclusive streaming of Season 2 in the U.S., its continuation on the platform for Season 3 was widely expected by fans.
Production and Anticipation
After a six-year hiatus since Season 2, the return of One-Punch Man has been met with significant anticipation. The series, known for its unique blend of action and satirical humor, has garnered a dedicated global fanbase. The third season is expected to delve deeper into the conflict between heroes and monsters, notably featuring the villainous Garou.
Digimon Beatbreak Debuts on Hulu
A new chapter in the long-running Digimon franchise, Digimon Beatbreak, will also make its streaming debut on Hulu starting October 5, 2025. The series, produced by Toei Animation, will air weekly in Japan on Fuji TV as part of the “Anime Sunday 9” block.
Exploring the World of Digimon Beatbreak
Digimon Beatbreak introduces a fresh narrative centered around “e-Pulse,” an energy source generated by human thoughts and emotions, which powers an AI support device called “Sapotama.” However, terrifying monsters known as Digimon, which evolve by consuming e-Pulse, emerge from the shadows of this technological advancement.
The story follows protagonist Tomoro Tenma, whose life takes an extraordinary turn after encountering his partner Digimon, Gekkomon, who appears from his Sapotama. Tomoro joins forces with bounty hunters, including Kyo Sawashiro and members of the “Glowing Dawn” team, as they navigate this new world where humans and Digimon intertwine. The series features a new opening theme song, “Mad Pulse” by MADKID, and an ending theme, “beat up” by Ai Tomioka.
The Digimon franchise has a rich history of anime series, with multiple iterations previously available on Hulu, demonstrating the platform’s commitment to the beloved digital monsters.
