It's official, the beloved anime series One Punch Man is returning for a third season. The reveal has been made by the official One Punch Man website, which took to Twitter to make the exciting announcement that the bald hero Saitama will be back for another outing. You can check out the tweet below.
Alongside the confirmation that One Punch Man Season 3 is indeed happening, a new teaser image drawn by Oath Kubota, who was in charge of character design for the first and second seasons, has also been released, teasing what's to come.
Created by Japanese artist ONE, One-Punch Man tells the story of Saitama, a powerful superhero with the ability to defeat any opponent with a single punch. Bored by his flawless battle record, Saitama embarks on a quest to find an opponent who can actually challenge him. The series originally debuted as a webcomic in 2009 before transitioning to the magazine Shueisha's Young Jump Next in 2012.
The manga has already been adapted into a popular anime series and multiple video games, including the recent One-Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows. The second season of the popular anime series premiered back in 2019, laying the groundwork for another round of exciting fights, terrifying villains, and more Genos and Saitama adventures, with some bad-ass action scenes to boot.
One Punch Man's upcoming third season is being developed alongside a live-action film adaptation, which will be written by Venom's Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinker, with former Fast X director Justin Lin slated to direct. This movie joins several other live-action anime adaptations, including a Netflix series based on One Piece, the perpetually troubled Akira remake, and a reimagined version of Your Name.
