One-Punch Man enthusiasts are gearing up for the highly anticipated return of Saitama, with the recent release of the season three trailer. The spotlight is now on J.C. Staff as they prepare to meet the high expectations set by the previous season.
Notably, the anime’s newest character designer, Shinjuro Kuroda, has stepped into the limelight, sharing insights on their role in the upcoming season.
In a recent post on X (Twitter), Kuroda expressed their admiration for Saitama and conveyed eagerness to approach One-Punch Man season three not just as a fan but as an artist.
The character designer acknowledged the significance of the opportunity and conveyed a commitment to giving their best, expressing gratitude for the fans’ support.
Kuroda brings notable experience to the table, having previously contributed key animation to series like Sk8 the Infinity and Is It Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon.
While One-Punch Man season three marks Kuroda’s debut as a character designer, they are not alone in this venture.
Chikashi Kubota, returning to oversee character designs, and Ryosuke Shirakawa join forces to bring the characters to life in the upcoming season.
Despite the excitement surrounding the trailer and the new design team, the release window for One-Punch Man season three is yet to be announced.
Fans eager to catch up or revisit the series can watch the first two seasons on Crunchyroll.
Shedding light on the essence of One-Punch Man, the official synopsis narrates Saitama’s journey from a hero for fun to a powerful figure capable of defeating adversaries with a single punch.
Alongside Genos, his cyborg disciple, Saitama embarks on his official duties as a professional hero working with the Hero Association.
However, the surge in monster appearances and the looming threat of Earth’s doom, as predicted by Madame Shibabawa, sets the stage for new challenges.
In the midst of this crisis, the “hero hunter” Garou makes his impactful entrance.
As fans eagerly await the return of Saitama and the unfolding narrative in season three, the collaboration between J.C. Staff and the fresh perspective of character designer Shinjuro Kuroda promises an exciting chapter for One-Punch Man enthusiasts worldwide.
