The return
of One Punch Man is scheduled for October 12, 2025,
the date on which the broadcast of its third season will begin. After months of
rumors, the key information has finally been leaked: the anime will have a
total of 12 episodes, not including the recap special of the second
season that will air on October 5.
The data
comes from insider SugoiLite, who has confirmed that the production
will be distributed weekly in Japan and through Crunchyroll for
the rest of the world. This means that season 3 will have the same length as
the previous installments, an industry-standard format that avoids surprises
regarding the length.
Season 3

The episodes will premiere uninterruptedly every Sunday, from October 12 to the end of December 2025:

The
calendar fits in with Japanese television programming, as the new season of
winter premieres will begin in January 2026. This makes it unlikely that there
will be any pauses or delays in transmission.
What
future awaits One Punch Man?
The
possibility of a fourth season depends on production decisions not yet
confirmed, but the source material is far from exhausted. The One Punch
Man manga has more than 200 chapters published, while the first two
seasons only adapted around 85. With that difference, it is evident that anime
still has a lot of ground to cover.
