The voice cast has been announced as One-Punch Man’s anime is planning a comeback and you might be surprised at one of the big pieces of news from the JC Staff production. It has been quite some time since last we saw Saitama as the second season came to an end in 2019, so getting the old gang back together in its entirety wasn’t a sure thing. Not only is the potential drama revolving around one of the biggest crime fighters of the Hero Association, but a voice actor who has been in the news quite a bit recently is stepping back into the character’s shoes.

The One-Punch Man Controversy
One of the biggest roles for Corina Boettger has been the voice of Paimon in the video game Genshin Impact. During their tenure, they were adamant regarding the need for a union for voice actors to protect the employees and there was a lot of back and forth between the actors, the fans, and the industry along the way. There are a lot of moving pieces in this industry drama between the Hoyoverse, Boettger, artificial intelligence, and SAG-AFTRA but they are well worth exploring. Recently, Boettger departed from the video game role but clearly is still in the industry as they are taking on the part of the Terrible Tornado for One-Punch Man’s third season.
Aside from Genshin Impact and the upcoming One-Punch Man season, Boettger has been a part of quite a few anime franchises. Their past resume includes the likes of Sailor Moon, Digimon, Tiger & Bunny, Pokemon, Naruto, and Mashle: Magic & Muscles. Obviously, since the anime adaptation featuring Saitama and his fellow crime fighters isn’t a part of the Hoyoverse, it makes sense that Boettger would return to the role of one of the anime’s strongest heroes.
As of the writing of this article, we have yet to learn when we can expect One-Punch Man’s third season to arrive specifically though JC Staff has already confirmed that the release window will be this October. With the previous season finale seeing Garou forging a partnership with the Monster Association, Saitama and Terrible Tornado are going to have their hands full especially if the source material is any indication.
