One-Punch Man returns in January 2027 with new JAM Project opening

One-Punch Man Season 3 Part 2 will begin airing in Japan in January 2027. Published on October 11, the announcement arrived with the first trailer for the new cour, a key visual and confirmation that JAM Project will continue to perform the opening theme.

The January window replaces an earlier timetable that only pointed to sometime in 2027. The production committee has not announced the exact day, the number of episodes or an international schedule. Streaming in Brazil is also unconfirmed. The first cour was distributed through Netflix in Latin America, but that history is not an announcement for the continuation.

The trailer centers Garou and the S-Class heroes

The new footage advances the battle against the Monster Association. It shows S-Class heroes surrounded by enemy executives, Tatsumaki and Genos in combat, Psykos entering the story and Garou at a more advanced stage of his transformation. Saitama and Flashy Flash are also seen moving through the underground hideout, with a comedic exchange that contrasts with the more serious battles.

The Japanese campaign describes this phase as bringing the clash between “supreme power” and “ultimate fear” to a conclusion. That is official promotional language, not confirmation of exactly where the anime will stop adapting the manga. The trailer reveals characters and confrontations, but it does not identify the chapters covered or confirm that the entire Monster Association arc will end in this cour.

JAM Project returns as the core staff stays in place

JAM Project performs “Never Done: Saikyo VS Saikyo,” presented in English as “Supreme Power vs. Ultimate Fear.” The group also worked on the first cour of Season 3. The Japanese single is scheduled for January 27, 2027, although the CD date does not necessarily determine when the episodes begin airing.

The main production team remains intact: Shinpei Nagai directs, Tomohiro Suzuki handles series composition, Makoto Miyazaki composes the score, and Chikashi Kubota, Shinjiro Kuroda and Ryosuke Shirakawa work on character design. J.C.STAFF continues as the animation studio. The confirmed voice cast includes Makoto Furukawa as Saitama, Kaito Ishikawa as Genos and Hikaru Midorikawa as Garou.

The gap makes Part 2 feel like another return

The first cour of Season 3 began in October 2025, following a wait of roughly six years after the second season. Moving the continuation to January 2027 creates another gap of more than a year within the same numbered season. In practice, Part 2 will be received as another return even though it is officially a continuation of Season 3.

The timetable may provide additional production time, but the companies involved have not described the interval as a response to criticism or publicly explained its cause. The narrower conclusion is the one supported by the announcement: the anime retains its studio, director and core staff while focusing its campaign on Garou’s progression and the promised climax of the conflict. Until further notices arrive, the specific date, episode count and Brazilian availability remain open questions.
