The highly anticipated One Punch Man season 3 anime recently revealed the character visual of Fubuki, also known as “Hellish Blizzard,” on its official website.
This new illustration, drawn by Ryosuke Shirakawa, the character designer for the third season, has been met with excitement and appreciation from fans.
One Punch Man, a popular series originally created by ONE and adapted into a manga by Yusuke Murata, follows the adventures of Saitama, an overpowered hero who can defeat any opponent with a single punch.
New Character Visual Highlights Fubuki’s Hellish Blizzard Grandeur
Despite his incredible strength, Saitama yearns for a challenging fight, as his abilities have made defeating monsters too easy.
The announcement of Fubuki’s character visual is the fourth in a series of monthly reveals following the release of the One Punch Man season 3 announcement video in February 2024.
Previous character visuals released include Saitama “Caped Baldy,” King, and Genos “Demon Cyborg.” The illustration of Genos was drawn by Shinjiro Kuroda, while the other visuals, including Fubuki’s, were created by Ryosuke Shirakawa.

In the newly revealed illustration, the B-Class Hero Fubuki is depicted with her arms raised forward, possibly in preparation for a battle.
Fans have responded positively to this visual, with many expressing their gratitude to the One Punch Man season 3 staff and praising the character design.
Comments from fans include enthusiastic reactions like, “Thank you! She looks great!” and “Ok J.C. Staff, you’re finally on the right track.”
These reactions highlight a renewed confidence in J.C. Staff, the studio responsible for animating the series, as some fans previously harbored doubts about their ability to animate One Punch Man effectively.
However, not all fan reactions were entirely positive. Some fans expressed disappointment at the lack of a confirmed release date for the anime, as the focus on character visuals has left them eager for more concrete information.
Additionally, a few fans speculated on how the anime might have looked if animated by a different studio, such as WIT Studio, known for its detailed animation work.
