Details about "One-Punch Man" Season 3 have remained scarce until a known anime and manga news leaker made a claim about it. Allegedly, the third iteration is now in the works and has an official studio. However, the franchise itself seems to deny the claim and has released an official statement to warn fans against such rumors.
The anime officially announced the coming of "One-Punch Man" Season 3 earlier this year, though no official details have been revealed yet, from its studio to release date and more. Hence, to make things clear to fans, the franchise's official Twitter page broke its silence in a rare letter.
The note came before the holidays and told the netizens to ignore any news about the series from unofficial online sources. "This is the only official Twitter account for the anime 'One-Punch Man,'" it stressed.
It begged everyone not to be misled by any unofficial information from other accounts, as all accurate details about the series would be officially announced from its official social Twitter page when the right time had come.
This announcement might have stemmed from the post of a popular fan page known as Shonen Leaks, proclaiming Studio MAPPA would handle "One-Punch Man" Season 3. However, no official news or announcement has been made about it yet.
The fan page was then reported, resulting in the suspension of the said account. By the looks of it, the series' crew wants to "keep rumors at a minimum," so it makes things clear.
Though a third season has been officially announced, no studio has been attached to it yet. Madhouse handled the first season and J.C. Staff took over for the second season.
Hence, a lot has been waiting for any news about the studio that will handle "One-Punch Man" Season 3, and many fans want it to be MAPPA due to its incredible work when it comes to anime visuals.
It has been over three years since the second season ended, and as the new year is about to come in less than a week, details about the third season remain limited. However, its manga version has remained strong and is now on its 27th volume.
The franchise also has a mobile game, "One-Punch Man: The Strongest." In addition, the creator ONE has also been busy working with a new manga, titled "Versus," in collaboration with Azuma Kyountarou of "Tenkaichi" and "King of Fighters."
