More One-Punch Man Season 3 Part 2 Details Revealed

One-Punch Man Season 3 Part 2 is set to premiere in January 2026, and ahead of its highly anticipated release, several new character portraits have been released, along with information pertaining to the show’s new ending theme song. While recent episodes of One-Punch Man have struggled to live up to viewer expectations, fans are hoping that the next round will harken back to the series’ glory days, though only time will tell.

Starting as a web comic in 2009, One-Punch Man‘s manga remake launched online in 2012, and in North America, new chapters appear in the digital version of Weekly Shonen Jump. Written by One and illustrated by Yusuke Murata, the series follows Saitama, an independent superhero who has trained to the point that he can defeat nearly any opponent with a single blow. Bored and frustrated by a lack of challenge, he sets out to find stronger foes to face, meeting many other heroes along the way. As of July 2026, the manga series has sold over 38 million copies, making it one of the best-selling manga of all time, on par with other hits like Chainsaw Man and Black Butler.

One-Punch Man Releases New Character Visuals Ahead of Season 3 Part 2

Six new character visuals have been released ahead of One-Punch Man Season 3 Part 2, highlighting the show’s heroes and villains. Additionally, it has been confirmed that Makoto Furukawa will perform the new ending theme, titled “The Corners of the World.” Furukawa, also the voice of Saitama, previously performed the ending themes for Season 2, as well as the first part of Season 3. It was previously announced that JAM Project would be returning to perform the opening theme, titled “Never Done -SUPREME POWER VS ULTIMATE FEAR-.”

Season 1 of the One-Punch Man anime adaptation has been widely applauded as one of the best series of the 2010s. Featuring animation by Madhouse, the studio behind Frieren and Overlord, the first season was directed by the prolific Shingo Natsume, known for his work on Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Space Dandy. While Season 2 drew mixed reviews, One-Punch Man Season 3 has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many calling it the worst anime of 2025. Its art, animation, and direction left much to be desired, leaving many of the series’ fans disappointed and frustrated. With its return in January, many dedicated viewers are keeping their fingers crossed, hoping that it will see some major improvements.

From June 26 to July 20, 2026, a One-Punch Man 10th Anniversary Exhibition was held at Sunshine 60 Observatory Tenbou-Park in Tokyo, with fans able to purchase exclusive goods, see original sketches and autographs on display, and try out some special themed food items. These included the Saitama Burger and Genos’ Incineration Cannon Soda, both of which came paired with a random gift. Visitors were also able to insert themselves into popular scenes from the series for some memorable photo ops.

In 2020, Columbia Pictures confirmed that a live-action film adaptation of One-Punch Man was in development, with Scott Rosenberg (Venom) and Jeff Pinkner (Lost, FROM) writing the movie. In 2022, Justin Lin was confirmed to be directing the project, with production set to begin later that same year. Unfortunately, things behind the scenes seem to be somewhat troubled, as in April 2024, Heather Anne Campbell (The Eric Andre Show, Saturday Night Live) and Dan Harmon (Community, Rick and Morty) were reportedly hired to rewrite the script.
