It has been some time since One-Punch Man put out new episodes, but the anime has not been sitting idly by. Earlier this year, the show made headlines as news from Japan confirmed a new season is in the works. One-Punch Man is currently working on season three following a so-so return with season two. Of course, this news has prompted all sorts of speculation, and now the team behind One-Punch Man has penned a rare letter to fans warning them against unofficial theories.

The post comes courtesy of the official One-Punch Man Twitter page. It was there fans were treated to a surprise post ahead of the holidays, and it told netizens to ignore any news shared by unofficial sources online.
“This is the only official Twitter account for the anime “One-Punch Man”. Please don’t be misled by unofficial information from other accounts. Accurate information will be announced from this account when it is time,” the post reads.

Of course, the letter got fans buzzing, and the context for the letter surfaced almost immediately. Over on Twitter, netizens learned a popular fan page known as Shonen Leaks was had their page suspended after sharing a report about One-Punch Man. According to saved tweets, the post in question suggested One-Punch Man season three was being handled by Studio MAPPA though no official news as such has been shared. Shortly after, the fan page was reported, and the actual One-Punch Man page posted a letter to fans.
Clearly, the crew wants to keep rumors at a minimum, so we should make things clear. One-Punch Man season three has been announced officially, but no studio has been attached at this time. Season one was handled by Madhouse before J.C. Staff took over for season two. Now, all eyes are on season three ahead of its drop, and netizens admit they’d like a visual-centric team like MAPPA to handle One-Punch Man when it returns.
