Fans are understandably curious about a One-Punch Man season 3 release date and whether it will be coming to Crunchyroll in 2023. It’s been a while since fans last saw Saitama and the residents of Z-City, and many wonder whether the One-Punch Man season 3 will premiere in 2023. Well, there is good and bad news for the beloved superhero fans. Here’s what we know about the upcoming season 3 to date.
When is the One-Punch Man season 3 release date?
The One-Punch Man season 3 release date is anticipated for 2024, at the earliest.
While season 3 is confirmed to be in production, an official release date has not been announced. Chikashi Kubota himself confirmed on August 18, 2022 that work on season 3 had begun, but there have been no updates since.
Kubota served as the character designer for the first two anime seasons and is expected to return in the next one. Many details are still under wrap, but season 3 might feature the final confrontation between the Hero and Monster Associations.
Written by Tomohiro Suzuki, One-Punch Man employed Shingo Natsume and Chikara Sakurai as the directors for season 1 and 2, respectively. The anime of One-Punch Man first aired in October 2015. Its latest season wrapped up on July 3, 2019. The COVID-19 outbreak further complicated the production of season 3.
Is One-Punch Man season 3 coming to Crunchyroll in 2023?
No, One-Punch Man season 3 isn’t coming to Crunchyroll in 2023.
Even if there were an official release date, it would be unlikely to see season 3 on the popular anime streamer that fast. Of course, things might change in the future, but season 2 was simulcast on Hulu in the U.S., thus, fans should expect the next season to follow the same path. Still, Crunchyroll is licensed to distribute the anime globally, and One-Punch Man seasons 1-2 are part of its available content. We’ll update this article in case there are updates on an agreement between Crunchyroll and One-Punch Man producers. One-Punch Man seasons 1-2 are also on Netflix in some parts of the world.
While there is no officiality for it, season 3 will likely feature the same actors. The One-Punch Man cast includes Max Mittelman as Saitama, Zach Aguilar as Genos, Greg Chun as Garou, and Robbie Daymond as Mumen Rider.
