One-Punch Man Season 3 Part 2 Anime Confirmed for 2027: Release Window, Story, and What Comes Next

After years of waiting, split cours, and endless fan speculation, it’s finally official: One-Punch Man Season 3 Part 2 is set to broadcast in 2027.

Yes, the wait is long.

And yes, fans are already divided.

But there’s a reason behind it — and if done right, this delay could actually save the season rather than sink it.

Let’s break down the 2027 release confirmation, what Part 2 will cover, who’s returning, where it will stream globally, and why this “perfect anime” still struggles with scheduling chaos despite massive popularity.

One-Punch Man Season 3 Part 2: Release Date Window (2027)

According to the latest official announcement from the production committee, Season 3 will continue with a second cours

(Part 2) airing in Japan sometime in 2027.

While an exact month hasn’t been revealed yet, the release window strongly suggests:

• Mid-to-late 2027 broadcast

• Standard 12-episode cour format

• Weekly TV airing in Japan, followed by international streaming

A special teaser trailer and teaser visual were also released, confirming that production is moving forward — just slowly.

Blunt truth: this gap is massive, even by anime standards. But it’s not accidental.

Why Is One-Punch Man Season 3 Split Into Two Parts?

Season 3 Part 1 aired from October 12 to December 28, 2025, adapting the early stages of the Monster Association arc. The arc itself is enormous — arguably the most ambitious storyline in the entire manga.

Splitting the season was inevitable because:

• The arc is animation-heavy and battle-dense

• Key fights demand consistent quality, not shortcuts

• J.C.STAFF needs time to avoid another Season 2–style backlash

This is the studio choosing survival over speed.

Fans may hate the wait, but rushing Part 2 would’ve been far worse.

What Will Season 3 Part 2 Be About?

Season 3 Part 2 will dive headfirst into the core chaos of the Monster Association arc, featuring:

• Escalated battles between S-Class heroes and elite monsters

• Garou’s transformation reaching its most dangerous phase

• The power gap between Saitama and everyone else becoming almost comedic again

• Emotional payoffs that only work if the animation delivers

At its heart, One-Punch Man remains what ONE always intended: a satire of superhero power fantasies wrapped in absurdist action.

As described officially by VIZ Media:

“Nothing about Saitama passes the eyeball test when it comes to superheroes… however, this average-looking guy has a not-so-average problem — he can’t find an opponent strong enough to fight.”

That joke only works if the spectacle around him feels real.

Staff and Studio: Who’s Handling Season 3 Part 2?

Season 3 (both parts) is being produced by J.C.STAFF, with a largely returning core team:

• Director: Shinpei Nagai

• Series Composition: Tomohiro Suzuki

• Character Designs: Chikashi Kubota, Shinjirou Kuroda, Ryosuke Shirakawa

• Music: Makoto Miyazaki

Notably, multiple staff changes were already made during Season 3 Part 1 — especially in art direction and cinematography — signaling a behind-the-scenes effort to stabilize quality.

This delay likely means:

• More outsourced key animation cuts

• Better scheduling

• Less crunch

Which… frankly… One-Punch Man desperately needs.

Opening and Ending Themes (Season 3)

Season 3 Part 1 featured:

• Opening Theme: “Get No Satisfied!” by JAM Project featuring BABYMETAL

• Ending Theme: “Soko ni Aru Akari” performed by Makoto Furukawa (Saitama’s VA)

Whether Part 2 will retain or refresh its themes hasn’t been confirmed — but a new opening is highly likely for a new cour.

Where Will One-Punch Man Season 3 Part 2 Stream?

Streaming platforms remain region-based, consistent with Part 1:

• United States: Hulu

• Canada: Disney+

• Europe & Middle East: Crunchyroll

• Japan: TV broadcast first, followed by streaming

International simulcast is expected once the Japanese broadcast begins in 2027.

The Real Problem: One-Punch Man’s Release Schedule Fatigue

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: One-Punch Man is a perfect concept trapped in imperfect production cycles.

Season gaps:

• Season 1 → Season 2: 4 years

• Season 2 → Season 3: 6 years

• Season 3 Part 1 → Part 2: ~2 years

That’s brutal for audience momentum.

Newer anime with tighter schedules are eating its lunch — even when they’re objectively weaker stories.

Still, One-Punch Man survives because:

• Saitama is timeless

• The satire still lands

• And when it hits, it hits harder than almost anything else

Final Thoughts: Long Wait, High Stakes

One-Punch Man Season 3 Part 2, airing in 2027, is frustrating — but it’s also a necessary gamble.

If J.C.STAFF delivers fluid animation, coherent choreography, and emotional payoff for Garou’s arc, this season could finally silence years of criticism.

If not? This franchise risks becoming a cautionary tale of wasted potential.

No pressure… 😌
