In February of 2024, a teaser for Season 3 was revealed, confirming that the show’s third season was in production.
The description reads: “Saitama is a hero who only became a hero for fun. After three years of ‘special training,’ he’s become so strong that he’s practically invincible. In fact, he’s too strong—even his mightiest opponents are taken out with a single punch. Alongside Genos, his faithful disciple, Saitama performs his official hero duties as a member of the Hero Association. One day, monsters claiming to be from the Monster Association suddenly appeared, taking a child of Hero Association executive as a hostage. The S-class heroes gather and plan a raid on the Monster Association hideout to rescue the hostage. Meanwhile, Garou, a “human monster” who was taken by the Monster Association during a battle with the heroes, awakens in the Monster Association hideout.”
In October of 2024, illustrator Yusuke Murata got fans excited by retweeting a fan post that reads: “TV Anime One-Punch Man Season 3 is Planned for a 2025 Release According to a Reliable Weibo Source!”
