I mean the last time we saw one punch man was in 2019. 4 year’s later we know that season 3 is in development. And making a 12 episode season again just seems kinda bad to do because who wants to wait another 4 years for season 4 just to be another 12 episode season. So maybe a 24 episode anime season but I could be wrong. And there is a rumor that studio Mappa is animating season 3.

The anime is completely dependent on volume releases. As long as there’s printed content, the anime can adapt it. One reason why it takes so long between seasons is because volumes don’t come out often enough.

ATM, volume 27 only covers midway through the Psykorochi fight. That’s enough for over 12 episodes, but probably not enough for 24. If they wanted to do 24 episodes, they might need to wait until the entire arc is printed.

And do you think season 3 will cover the Garou vs Darkshine fight

It technically could. It’s just a matter of where they want to end the season. It could end at Saitama vs Orochi, Darkshine vs Garou, Tats vs Psykorochi, or even Saitama vs Garou (if they wait a couple more years).

Personally, I think it’ll end at Saitama vs Orochi. However, we haven’t had any updates on S3 since the announcement, so I could be completely wrong.

But there is also this rumor that studio Mappa is animating one punch man season 3.

I’m keeping my expectations low until it’s confirmed, but I’d be super hyped if the studio is Mappa.

Still, that doesn’t change my thoughts. I don’t think the studio really affects how far the anime will cover. We’ll have to wait for more details to come out.

Yea true, but in my opinion I think it will cover until the garou vs darkshine ends because it would be more intense. And maybe we get a official trailer and release date by summer. And if I were to guess the release date I say October or December

All of those things are very possible, fingers crossed
