About One Punch Man
Saitama can end any fight with one punch, which leaves him bored while the Hero Association ranks heroes around him. Season 1 aired 12 episodes in 2015 from Madhouse; season 2 moved to J.C.Staff for 12 episodes in 2019, a studio change fans still debate.
Season 3 split in two. Part 1 aired 12 episodes from October to December 2025 and drew heavy criticism for limited animation. Part 2 was confirmed right after the finale for 2027, with the next update expected at a New York Comic Con panel on October 10, 2026.
Good to know
There is no separate chronological order worth listing: release order and story order are the same list.
Watch the October 2025 recap special only if you need a season 2 refresher. Part 1 covers Monster Association material through the Orochi fight, and Part 2 is expected to reach Saitama against Garou. As of September 17, 2026, Part 2 has a 2027 window and no exact date, so its slot below is confirmed but undated.
