One-Punch Man Season 3: First Look Revealed Ahead of Release!
For months, One-Punch Man fans have been eagerly anticipating Season 3’s late 2025 premiere through a steady rollout of character posters. These teasers spotlight the series’ iconic heroes—particularly the S-Class roster—as they brace for an explosive showdown with the Monster Association.
Crafted by studio J.C. Staff, the minimalist posters prioritize bold, updated character designs, hinting at the refreshed visual style awaiting viewers in the new season. So far, 14 high-impact visuals have been unveiled, all compiled below for easy access. As additional artwork drops monthly, this gallery will evolve into a centralized hub, ensuring every reveal is just a click away.
Appearance: Episode 10
Pig God, the 8th-ranked S-Class hero, transforms his colossal appetite into a weaponized science. His mountainous physique—a fortress of fat forged by endless consumption—grants him near-invulnerability to physical attacks and a stomach capable of digesting anything, from rubble to radioactive waste. Despite his groans about exertion and waddling gait, this unassuming titan charges headfirst into danger, prioritizing others’ survival over his own comfort. His secret trump card? A metabolic overdrive that incinerates his fat reserves for explosive combat surges—a desperate gambit that leaves him alarmingly gaunt and perilously weakened post-battle.
Appearance: Episode 10
At just 10 years old, Child Emperor (S-Class Rank 5) redefines heroism with a lab coat and a brain that outpaces supercomputers. This pint-sized polymath trades teddy bears for tactical drones, commanding a mechanical menagerie of inventions—from city-leveling mechs to his signature Brave Giant backpack, a spider-legged arsenal bristling with plasma torches, nano-saws, and enough firepower to make seasoned warriors blush. While peers brawl with brute strength, he orchestrates battles like a chessmaster, dissecting threats with cold logic and deploying gadgetry that blurs the line between genius and madness. Don’t let the candy-stained lab goggles fool you: beneath that childlike exterior hums the S-Class’s sharpest strategist, turning playground curiosity into apocalyptic countermeasures.
Appearance: Episode 6
Crowned B-Class’s undisputed queenpin, Fubuki—Hellish Blizzard—wields psychic storms and mafia-style diplomacy. As the lesser half of the infamous Psychic Sisters, she orbits the titanic shadow of Tatsumaki (S-Class’s Terrible Tornado), her overachieving sibling. To compensate, Fubuki rules her Blizzard Bunch with a cocktail of charisma and coercion, strong-arming rivals into her faction or early retirement. Yet beneath her ice-queen bravado lies a tectonic inferiority complex: her telekinetic prowess could easily claw her way into A-Class, but the specter of her sister’s god-tier reputation freezes her ambition. Enter Saitama—the bald anomaly who shattered her ego and ignited an unwelcome (and hilariously one-sided) infatuation. For Fubuki, every battle is a duel between her hunger for recognition and the paralyzing fear that she’ll never escape Tatsumaki’s hurricane.
Appearance: Episode 6
Tatsumaki—S-Class’s tempestuous #2 and the de facto apex predator of active heroes—commands a telekinetic tempest capable of flattening cities and demolishing skyscraper-sized foes with a flick of her finger. Dubbed Terrible Tornado, she’s a paradox of power: a 4’11” force of nature who treats collateral damage like confetti and lesser heroes as ants beneath her boot. Her arrogance isn’t mere ego—it’s hardwired survivalism, forged in the crucible of a traumatic childhood where she and sister Fubuki were lab rats for psychic experimentation until Blast’s intervention. That rescue forged an unshakable fealty to the absent #1 hero, contrasting sharply with her volcanic disdain for everyone else. Behind the tsunamis of contempt lies a fractured dynamic with Fubuki—a war zone of snark, silent envy, and the unspoken truth that Tatsumaki’s world-crushing strength can’t mend the scars they both carry.
Appearance: Episode 1
Saitama—the Caped Baldy, herodom’s most reluctant demigod—treats apocalypse-tier catastrophes like mild inconveniences. His “training regimen” (100 daily push-ups and bargain-bin sales) accidentally rewrote the laws of physics, gifting him strength to vaporize continent-cracking kaiju with a casual jab. Yet this one-punch paradox languishes in B-Class obscurity, dismissed as a fraud in his mustard-stained onesie. Only Genos, his cyborg disciple/roommate, sees the truth: a man so bored by invincibility that he’d trade godhood for a decent shampoo sale. While S-Class titans preen for glory, Saitama’s yawn-inducing heroics—like redirecting extinction-level meteors mid-nap—get buried beneath paperwork and public indifference. His greatest nemesis? Not monsters, but the existential ennui of a universe that can’t make him try.
Appearance: Episode 10
Zombieman—S-Class’s undying enigma at rank 8—operates on a resurrection roulette no monster can outplay. Whether shredded by claws or reduced to ash, he stitches himself back together molecule by molecule, though each rebirth drags him through hours (or days) of silent, skin-crawling agony. A walking anachronism, he prowls crime scenes with the grim demeanor of a whiskey-soaked noir detective, trench coat draped over a body that’s more scar tissue than flesh. His combat style? An exsanguination marathon—outlasting foes through wounds that liquefy organs and battles stretching into weeks. While flashier heroes crumble, Zombieman’s true weapon isn’t regeneration; it’s the existential weight of knowing death itself finds him… boring.
Appearance: Episode 7
Silver Fang (Bang)—S-Class’s venerable #3—is less a hero than a living tsunami in human form, channeling a century of martial mastery into the Fist of Flowing Water, Crushing Rock, a style that redirects tidal forces through fingertips. But mastery comes with a curse: Garou, his rogue prodigy, now wields Bang’s own techniques to dismantle the hero hierarchy. For this aged sensei, hunting his former pupil isn’t duty—it’s penance. Alongside brother Bomb (a hurricane of raw power in his own right), Bang forms a tempestuous duo, their sibling rivalry eclipsed only by their lethality when united against dragon-level threats. Yet even legends have obsessions: Saitama’s unfathomable strength haunts Bang’s dreams, igniting a mentor’s itch to sculpt that raw, lazy power into something… artistic.
Appearance: Episode 10
Atomic Samurai—S-Class’s blade sovereign at rank 4—treats swordplay like a divine mandate, his iaido so lethally precise it atomizes armies into confetti with a single draw. As the maestro of the Sword Council, he demands his disciples worship the edge as he does, though none can mirror his “100-Ken Slash” that carves skyscrapers into sashimi. His reverence for Silver Fang’s martial wisdom wars with a sneering contempt for “unpolished” heroes like Saitama, whose unkempt power insults his samurai sensibilities. Pride, however, is his double-edged shinai: while he’ll jest about polishing nails with his breath (yes, seriously), underestimating foes has left him humbled by monsters who don’t bleed… or respect honor codes. Beneath the steel-clad ego lies a sliver of self-awareness: even gods of the draw can’t cut through every paradox.
Appearance: Episode 10
King—S-Class’s #6 hero and humanity’s most accidental icon—is a living monument to cosmic irony. His chiseled glare and scarred visage scream “apocalypse slayer,” but peel back the myth and you’ll find a trembling otaku whose greatest skill is being wrongly present. Every cataclysm he’s “survived”? Saitama’s leftovers, miscredited by terrified bystanders too awestruck to notice the bald guy yawning nearby. The infamous King Engine—a seismic rumble heralding his “battle readiness”—is just the arrhythmic thud of a man perpetually one scream away from cardiac arrest. He’s tried confessing his fraudulence, but fate’s a cruel editor: each plea twists into a cryptic “test of resolve,” cementing his legend. In a world of godly egos, King’s the unwitting punchline—a walking PR stunt who’d trade his throne for a quiet life of gaming… and surviving his own hype.
Appearance: Episode 10
Flashy Flash—S-Class’s #13 enigma and speed incarnate—treats time itself as a sluggish adversary. His blade dances at relativistic velocities, leaving even Atomic Samurai’s precision in the dust, though purists sneer that his style lacks artistry. To onlookers, he’s a silver blur punctuated by geysers of monster viscera, battles concluded before the first drop hits the ground. Yet beneath his glacial poise simmers a fatal flaw: the narcissistic high of outracing death. He’ll plunge into maelstroms solo, dismissing teamwork as “handicaps for the slow,” only to realize—mid-lightning-strike—that speed can’t outmaneuver every variable. For all his tactical brilliance (and yes, he’s mapped 47 ways to decapitate you before your neurons fire), his greatest threat isn’t monsters… it’s his own reflection in the blood-smeared aftermath.
Appearance: Episode 10
Superalloy Blackluster—S-Class’s #11 and the walking paradox of vanity and valor—treats his body like a gilded monument to raw power. Every sinew is a steel cable, every flex a seismic event, his unarmored physique shrugging off artillery barasts like summer rain. He’s Hercules with a protein shake addiction, posing mid-battle to admire his reflection in the chaos—a hero who fights as much for the roar of crowds as the greater good. Yet beneath the oiled bravado lies a tactical mind sharp enough to know when to trade flexes for fury: his punches don’t just crush bones; they recalibrate tectonic plates. While the anime’s teased mere glimpses of his might, Season 3’s Monster War promises his magnum opus—a symphony of muscle and mortar where even dragons learn to fear the man who turns hubris into a hammer.
Appearance: Episode 1
Genos—the Demon Cyborg etching S-Class rank 14 into scorched earth—is a walking armory fueled by vengeance and existential envy. His debut? A blaze of plasma-fueled artillery that catapulted him straight into herodom’s elite, while his actual mentor, Saitama, languished in obscurity. Every battle is a pyre: incineration cannons reduce city blocks to glass, rocket-propelled fists crater skyscraper-sized foes… and his own limbs to molten scrap. Dr. Kuseno, his surrogate father in steel, stitches him back together—each rebuild a chrysalis of upgrades, each upgrade a desperate gambit to inch closer to Saitama’s unreachable zenith. Yet for all his hellfire bravado, Genos is a paradox: a machine obsessed with humanity’s fragility, tormented by the gap between his apocalyptic firepower and the one punch that dwarfs it all. Season 3 won’t just test his alloy—it’ll forge him in dragonfire, again and again, until even ash learns to thirst.
Appearance: Episode 5
Amai Mask—A-Class’s unchallenged sovereign and society’s darling executioner—wields fame like a scythe. By day, he’s the idolized crooner serenading sold-out arenas; by night, the self-appointed arbiter of heroism, gatekeeping S-Class with a smile sharper than his talons. His philosophy? Heroes must be flawless—a standard he enforces by reducing even remorseful monsters to gory pulp, their “sins” preemptively judged by his warped moral calculus. The public sees a radiant polymath, too perfect for the grime of S-Class. The truth? A narcissist sculpted from vanity and vitriol, whose “heroic duty” masks a bloodlust even demons find excessive. For now, the tabloids lap up his charm, oblivious to the rot beneath the rouge—but in Season 3’s chaos, even a maestro of facades can’t outrun the cracks in his porcelain mask.
Appearance: Episode 8
Puri-Puri Prisoner—S-Class’s rogue romantic at rank 16—treats heroism and incarceration as two sides of the same sparkly coin. Jailed for “loving not wisely but too well,” he now weaponizes his unbridled passions, crushing monsters between bicep curls and serenading allies (and foes) with equal fervor. The S-Class’s lowest-ranked? A misnomer. His Angel Halo technique—a whirlwind of heart-shaped devastation—pulverizes kaiju while his regenerative sinews stitch wounds shut, making him a paradoxical cocktail of flamboyance and ferocity. Unlike his ego-drunk peers, he’s shockingly grounded: a tender-hearted bruiser who dodges hero drama to focus on saving civilians… and occasionally whisking them off their feet.
That’s all the One-Punch Man season 3 posters that have been released so far, but check back in the future to see if more have been added.
