Details may be light at the moment, but we now know that VIZ Media has secured the license for One-Punch Man season 3. The anime adaptation of ONE and artist Yusuke Murata’s manga returns to the screen this October,

Streaming availability will be announced at a later date. For now, VIZ has confirmed that the acquisition includes “theatrical, television, digital, home entertainment, ancillary, and merchandise rights across North America, Latin America, and Oceania.”

J.C. Staff is returning from season 2, with new character designer Shinjiro Kuroda on those duties alongside returning designer Chikashi Kubota and former Kyoto Animation key animator Ryosuke Shirakawa (Violet Evergarden: The MovieMiss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid). Tomohiro Suzuki is back on series composition and Makoto Miyazaki of [K]NoW_NAME is on music.

Here’s how VIZ describes it:

Saitama is a hero who only became a hero for fun.

After three years of ‟special training,” he’s become so strong that he’s practically invincible. In fact, he’s too strong—even his mightiest opponents are taken out with a single punch. Alongside Genos, his faithful disciple, Saitama performs his official hero duties as a member of the Hero Association.

One day, monsters claiming to be from the Monster Association suddenly appeared, taking a child of Hero Association executive hostage. The S-class heroes gather and plan a raid on the Monster Association hideout to rescue the hostage. Meanwhile, Garou, a ‟human monster” who was taken by the Monster Association during a battle with the heroes, awakens in the Monster Association hideout.
