Fans of the highly anticipated One-Punch Man Season 3 were treated to an extensive look at the upcoming anime with the release of its second promotional video, offering close to two minutes of new footage and a glimpse into the escalated conflict between heroes and monsters. The new trailer builds excitement just days before the anime’s Japanese broadcast is set to begin on October 5, 2025.
Second Promo Video Highlights New Footage and Opening Theme
The latest promotional video, clocking in at nearly two minutes, is the most substantial preview of One-Punch Man Season 3 released so far. It showcases a blend of established heroes and menacing monsters, alongside Saitama in his typically nonchalant demeanor, even forgetting his wallet in one scene. A significant highlight of the trailer is the clear tease of an impending clash between Saitama and the “Hero Hunter” Garou, referred to as the “strongest and the wickedest.”
Adding to the adrenaline, the promo video also features the new opening theme song, “Get No Satisfied!”, performed by the returning JAM Project, this time featuring BABYMETAL. JAM Project has been a staple of the One-Punch Man anime, having performed the opening themes for both prior seasons. Viewers have widely praised the animation and art style displayed in the new trailer, with many noting a significant improvement over Season 2 and drawing favorable comparisons to the first season’s visuals.
