The highly anticipated third season of the TV anime One Punch Man has been confirmed to premiere in October. This marks the 10th anniversary of the first season's broadcast in 2015 and the first new installment in six years since Season 2 aired in 2019. Alongside this announcement, a key visual and the first teaser PV featuring numerous characters have been released.

One Punch Man follows the adventures of Saitama, the "laid-back yet strongest hero" who can defeat any enemy with a single punch. The series is based on the manga serialized on the webcomic platform Tonari no Young Jump (Shueisha). Created by ONE (Mob Psycho 100) and illustrated by Yusuke Murata (Eyeshield 21), the original manga has become a massive hit, with a total of over 32 million copies in circulation.

The first season of the anime aired from October to December 2015, followed by Season 2 from April to June 2019.

In Season 3, protagonist Saitama continues his daily activities as a hero within the Hero Association, an organization where professional heroes are registered. Alongside his disciple, Genos, Saitama remains ever-vigilant. However, one day, a group of mysterious monsters calling themselves the Monster Association suddenly appears and kidnaps the child of a high-ranking Hero Association official. As S-Class heroes gather to devise a mission to infiltrate the Monster Association’s hideout and rescue the hostage, the "human monster" Garou, who was taken by the Monster Association during a previous battle, awakens inside their stronghold. The intense new storyline unfolds from there.
