One-Punch Man Season 3, one of the most highly anticipated anime of the year, is now heading toward its conclusion. To celebrate the climax of the current arc in the final two episodes, a new trailer has been released to build excitement. After fans waited six years for a new season and hoped for a decent adaptation, their expectations were not just unmet but shattered. Ironically, the season exceeded expectations only by revealing how poorly the anime could turn out. From the very beginning, the declining quality was evident, but later episodes proved to be even worse.

With the season having seemingly hit rock bottom, there is nowhere left to go but up, and an opportunity still remains. One-Punch Man Season 3 is set to have 12 episodes, meaning only two are left. These final episodes will depict the climax of the current arc, and the anime has highlighted this by releasing a recap trailer. The trailer revisits the major events of the season while setting the stage for the final conflicts. Perhaps the season has been saving its strongest moments for the end, and if the final battles deliver, they may serve as a modest redemption for the seasonโs overall poor quality.
One-Punch Man Season 3 Prepares For Climax
This season of One-Punch Man has focused on the heroes confronting the monsters who plan to take over the human world. With the heroes forming an operation to eliminate the Monster Association once and for all, the season aimed to give new characters moments to shine. However, the animation meant to highlight these characters rarely met even a decent standard, with only Flashy Flash receiving a portrayal that properly showcased his skills. That episode proved the studio was capable of delivering quality animation, but the series faltered once again in the episodes that followed.
Still, the fact that J.C. Staff can produce good-quality animation suggests they may have been saving their best work for the climax of the arc. This makes the final two episodes the last chance for even a small redemption of an otherwise poorly produced season. With the long-awaited setup for Saitama to finally enter the action, along with several major battles lined up, One-Punch Man Season 3 could deliver stronger animation in its closing moments. Even so, this does little to justify the seasonโs overall poor quality. At this point, fans are left with no option but to accept the disappointing state of the anime and take whatever limited comfort they can find in the occasional well-animated moments, while hoping for better treatment in the future of One-Punch Man.
