The anime production sees Makoto Furukawa returning as the voice of Saitama, with Kaito Ishikawa reprising his role as Genos. Shinpei Nagai directs the series, with Tomohiro Suzuki handling series composition and animation by JC STAFF.
‘One-Punch Man’ first premiered in October 2015 and quickly gained acclaim for its clever take on superhero tropes and spectacular action sequences. The second season followed in 2019, cementing the series as a global phenomenon.
With the third season poised to continue the story, fans around the world are eagerly awaiting Saitama’s next punch.
