Since the special announcement video dropped on February 29, 2024, the anime has been keeping fans engaged with monthly hero visuals. Every first Friday of the month, a new hero from the upcoming season. After revealing 14 key heroes, the anime has finally delivered the big update everyone has been waiting for—the first official promotional video and a stunning key visual.
One Punch Man Season 3 Unleashes First PV and Key Visual
The latest key visual for One Punch Man season 3 is nothing short of spectacular. Dubbed the “strongest version,” it combines all 14 previously released hero visuals into one action-packed image. The lineup includes Saitama, King, Genos, Fubuki, Bang, Tatsumaki, Atomic Samurai, Child Emperor, Zombieman, Pig God, Superalloy Darkshine, Flashy Flash, Puri Puri Prisoner, and Sweet Mask, all gearing up for intense battles.
The promotional video gave fans a thrilling first look at these powerful characters in action. Each hero appears menacing and ready to take on the looming threat of the Monster Association. With electrifying visuals and high-stakes tension, the PV sets the stage for what promises to be one of the most action-packed arcs in the series yet.
Amidst all the hero action, the teaser gave into Saitama’s frustrations. He’s visibly annoyed that Garou hasn’t come for him yet, wondering if it’s because of his unassuming hero name, “Caped Baldy.” Determined to get his showdown, Saitama decides to take matters into his own hands. The video ends with a powerful tagline: “The Strongest Will Assemble,” further hyping up the long-awaited showdown.
The upcoming season is backed by a powerhouse team of returning talent. Chikashi Kubota leads character design alongside Shinjiro Kuroda and Ryosuke Shirakawa. Tomohiro Suzuki will handle the series scripts, ensuring the storytelling remains as sharp as ever, while Makoto Miyazaki will once again compose the music, setting the perfect tone for epic battles.
In addition to the anime update, new details about the One Punch Man Maji Music Festival were revealed. The event, scheduled for September 14, will feature various performances and exciting surprises. Advanced ticket sales have already begun and will run until March 30, 2025. Fans can also look forward to an appearance by Yuki Kaji, the voice of Speed-o’-Sound Sonic, adding even more excitement to the event.
