One Punch Man Season 3 release date
Although an official premiere date for the third season of One Punch Man has not been confirmed, rumors and a trailer that has been released indicate a potential debut in 2024. This timeline would align with the pattern seen in the previous seasons, which had a four-year gap between them. Additionally, there are speculations of a mid-2024 launch or a Fall release later in the year.
One-Punch Man season 3 story: which manga chapters will it adapt?
One-Punch Man season 3 will progress through the Monster Association arc from Yusuke Marata’s manga. This arc involves the Monster Association arriving at the Hero Association under the guise of wanting monsters and heroes to co-exist, only to reveal their true intention of sparking an all-out war between the two factions, led by Orochi and Gyoro.
In season 2, hero hunter Garou faces off against various heroes, including Death Gatling, as they seek to prove their worth to the Hero Association. This culminates in a battle between Saitama’s disciple Genos and Garou, with the latter being rescued by the Monster Association’s Phoenix Man.
Ultimately, Saitama intervenes after being distracted by a gaming challenge from King. He defeats the monster Elder Centipede and advises a disheartened Genos to seek “power” in order to enhance his hero abilities.
As we look ahead to One-Punch Man season 3, the story will likely pick up from chapter 86 of the manga. Each season typically covers around 40-50 chapters, suggesting that this season may conclude around chapter 123, potentially introducing a character named Psykos.
Moving forward, viewers can anticipate Saitama continuing to battle monsters alongside his allies, while Garou becomes more involved with the Monster Association during the escalating war. Society’s response to the monsters varies, with a faction known as The Monster Worship Party aligning themselves with the monsters.
