One-Punch Man is returning with new episodes as part of the exciting Fall 2025 anime lineup, making now a great time to refresh your memory before Season 3 premieres. One-Punch Man is just one of several franchises launching new content, but it’s expected to be a particularly popular release. Fans of action anime will be eager to see how the animation looks after Season 2, and the upcoming season will also introduce a brand new story arc.
One-Punch Man Season 3 starts airing this Fall, but not much has been shared about what’s in store. The best way to prepare is to rewatch some of the most exciting episodes from the anime so far. With the new season promising a lot of action, revisiting these episodes will get you hyped for the upcoming battles.
7.) The Strongest Man – Season 1, Episode 1
If you’re new to One-Punch Man, the best place to begin is with the first episode. It’s a great introduction to the series and explains why it’s become so popular. The episode immediately shows you Saitama and his incredible ability to defeat any enemy with just one punch. No one could have predicted how large the franchise would become a decade after its debut. However, as One-Punch Man progresses, Saitama faces even more challenging opponents, showcasing his surprising strength in even more impressive ways.
6.) Return of the Hero – Season 2, Episode 1
If you’re looking for a good jumping-on point after Season 1, I highly recommend starting with the Season 2 premiere of One-Punch Man! It really helps you get up to speed with everything that’s changed – the new look, the new team working on it, and just the overall vibe of Season 2. “Return of the Hero” shows us what Saitama’s been up to since the end of Season 1, and honestly, it’s a bit rough. He *still* isn’t getting the recognition he deserves as a hero, but thankfully he’s got a solid group of friends who stick by him no matter what. It’s a totally different feel from the very first episode, but it’s a fantastic way to set your expectations for what Season 3 might bring.
5.) The Deep Sea King – Season 1, Episode 8
A big reason fans enjoy One-Punch Man is that Saitama usually defeats enemies with just one punch. Because of this, the series often focuses on other heroes battling monsters. The tension was especially high in “The Deep Sea King” when a frightening monster fought against some of the less powerful heroes, who fought bravely on their own. Saitama ultimately saved the day, but this episode made fans connect with the other heroes. This is what makes the anime so special, and it’s a perfect illustration of that quality.
4.) The Strongest Hero – Season 1, Episode 12
The first season ended with its strongest episode yet, as Saitama finally faced an opponent who challenged him enough to push his limits. Although he could have defeated the enemy with a single punch, Saitama chose to extend the fight-something we hadn’t seen him do before. This wasn’t about needing to struggle against a villain; it was the first time Saitama genuinely seemed to be enjoying himself. The fight provided a great look into his ongoing quest to find a worthy opponent, and it was brilliantly executed.
3.) The Troubles of the Strongest – Season 2, Episode 21
The last few episodes of One-Punch Man Season 2 are crucial for setting up Season 3. As the Monster Association puts its big plan into action and attacks, defeating numerous heroes, many viewers are witnessing these heroes in battle for the very first time. This storyline will be the main focus of the third season, with the S-Class Heroes and monsters clashing intensely. Therefore, it’s a good idea to remember how all these different conflicts started, especially when Saitama enters the fray.
2.) The Varieties of Pride – Season 2, Episode 23
While the upcoming season will primarily center around the Monster Association arc, it’s also a continuation of the story that began with the Human Monster Saga. This earlier saga introduced Garou, the Hero Hunter, who spent much of Season 2 defeating heroes. By the end of that season, he was at his peak strength, battling several opponents simultaneously. The third season will further highlight Garou as he gains even more monstrous abilities, so this episode serves as a helpful reminder of what makes him such a compelling villain, and also features one of the best battles from Season 2.
1.) The Wiping of the Disciple’s Butt – Season 2, Episode 24
One-Punch Man Season 2 left viewers with a lot of unanswered questions after a massive monster battle – the biggest the anime has shown so far. The third season will pick up right where things left off, so it’s highly recommended to watch the Season 2 finale to refresh your memory. The finale offers a satisfying victory for Saitama and sparks his desire to find a truly challenging opponent. This sets the stage for his future battles with Garou, and watching the Season 2 finale will ensure you’re prepared for everything to come in the next set of episodes.
