One-Punch Man Season 3 Celebrates a Belated Halloween with Spooky Character Reveal

Umito November 2, 2024

One Punch Man third season has yet to reveal when anime fans can expect Saitama’s long-awaited return, but that’s not stopping the impactful franchise from celebrating Halloween. To hype up season three, JC Staff has released a steady stream of character posters showing the heroes and villains that will make up the future fight featuring the Hero Association and the Monster Association. Although the latest reveal focuses on one hero, you might not know it if you don’t know the past of this spooky crime fighter whose appearance works perfectly for spooky season.

Zombieman is a hero who hasn’t had much attention since One Punch Man the first two seasons of anime but manga readers may know the scary hero named. The S-rank regenerating hero has a healing factor that allows him to bounce back from any attack, as the manga highlighted that Zombieman took serious damage during his battle. When it comes to the background of this zombie crime fighter, you may be surprised to know where this hero was originally created and how his past ties into a major battle that anime fans have already been witnesses in Saitama’s career.

The return of Zombieman season 3

Zombieman was originally created by Dr. Genus, the leading scientist who built terrifying villains as part of the “House of Evolution.” To refresh your memory, The House of Evolution was a major competitor to Saitama with its group of horrifying creatures, including Mosquito Girl, Armored Gorilla, Beast King, and the most powerful of them all, Carnage Kabuto. Even though the “Hero For Fun” managed to dismantle them all in one fell swoop, it seems the experiments also gave the world one of its greatest heroes, in addition to some of its greatest villains.

Although regeneration is a worthy superpower, Zombieman’s experience and use of his power is surely what made him the sixth hero of the Hero Association. As manga readers know, the regenerative hero will have a major role to play in season three which will hopefully reveal a release date before the end of 2024.

What will season 3 cover?

As mentioned previously, One Punch Man The third season has been a long time coming since season two ended in 2019. When the anime returns, JC Staff will return to the helm as the episodes will not only continue to focus on Saitama, but also the hero killer known as Garou. . In fact, Garou might get more screen time this time around, as his membership in the Monster Association is a major part of the series’ future. While Hero For Fun is always looking for an opponent who can withstand one of his blows, Hero For Fun’s former protégé is aiming for just that.

In addition to the upcoming third season, the manga and webcomic continue after the fight against the Monster Association.. Thanks to live-action anime adaptations becoming a hot topic in Hollywood as of late, Sony Pictures is also working on a live-action film that will translate Saitama’s story for a new audience. Fast & The Furious’ Justin Lin is confirmed as fan-favorite director and creator Dan Harmon (Community, Rick and Morty) writes this new take on the classic anime character. Even though Saitama still can’t find a villain who is close to defeating him, he still has a bright future.
