Starting with the series’ protagonist Saitama, the One-Punch Man anime has revealed many character visuals on their official X (formerly Twitter) account. This is for the upcoming third season of the popular anime series, which people have been waiting for six years for. During the 10th-year anniversary celebration of the anime, it was announced that season 3 of OPM is coming out sometime in 2025, although a definitive release date hasn’t been revealed yet. However, these new visuals, illustrated by the character designers Ryosuke Shirakawa and Shinjiro Kuroda have kept the hype alive amongst the fans. It has also been announced that voice actors from the first and second seasons of the show will reprise their roles.
Here are the 14 illustrations of characters that have been released so far.

The first season of the One-Punch Man anime, which came out in 2015, was produced by studio Madhouse. The series received immense praise for perfectly capturing the essence of ONE’s manga series (subsequently illustrated by Yusuke Murata). However, in 2019, the second season was produced by J.C. Staff, and fans were not happy with the quality of the animation, which rendered the series pretty mediocre.
J.C.Staff is returning with the third season of the show, which will hopefully be better as it has been in the making for the last six years. Keep an eye on our page as we’ll keep updating you on any new updates about the upcoming series.
