What One Punch Man Season 3 Sets Up

OPM Season 3 covers the Monster Association arc as the Hero Association struggles to deal with many Monster attacks happening at the same time. The S-Class Heroes step up to lead the fight back. This season focuses on Heroes like Tatsumaki, Genos, and King, while Saitama stays in the background — until the right moment, when he steps in and saves the day.

Garou’s path also heats up here after his clashes in Season 2. He steps deeper into the Monster side, becoming a growing problem for Heroes across the board. Episode 1 lays down the pieces: strategy meetings, rescue stakes, and the slow march toward the underground war.
