A seventh new hero visual has been unveiled for the upcoming third season of One-Punch Man, which features the powerful swordsman Kamikaze, also known as Atomic Samurai. It has not yet been announced when season three will air.
Previous Hero visuals were recently released for Saitama, King, Genos, Fubuki/Hellish Blizzard, Silver Fang, and Terrible Tornado/Tatsumaki.
The production staff for the third season of One-Punch Man features some returning staff from the second season such as Tomohiro Suzuki as screenwriter, Chikashi Kubota, Shinjiro Kuroda (Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy Season 2 Episode 4 and 5 prop design assistant), Ryosuke Shirakawa (Tsurune, Spy x Family Season 1, A Silent Voice key animator) as character designers, and Makoto Miyazaki as music composer. J.C.Staff is handling the animation production after working on season two.
The first season was directed by Shingo Natsume and produced by Madhouse, airing in 2015. A second season was released in 2019 and was directed by Chikara Sakurai at J.C.STAFF. Crunchyroll streamed both series worldwide, outside of Japan.
