Recently, it was confirmed that the One Punch Man manga will be on hiatus for a few months, with a return date set for July 17, 2025. While some fans have expressed frustration, this decision actually brings significant benefits.

The pause will give the author breath
First, this break ONE enough time to reflect and plan the story's next steps. After all, as the plot progresses to more complex stages, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain narrative coherence and avoid slip-ups. Therefore, this period will be essential for ONE to review the plot's direction and decide how to proceed.
Furthermore, this break can help the author realize the negative effects of repeatedly redrawing entire arcs. Recently, ONE has been rewriting several chapters, often unnecessarily, which has generated concern among fans.
ONE is known for his perfectionism, always striving to deliver the most satisfying version of his work possible. However, redesigning entire arcs not only consumes precious time but can also compromise your physical and mental health in the long run.
A necessary rest to preserve health
Therefore, this hiatus will be highly beneficial for ONE to rest and recover. Creating scripts and illustrations is an exhausting process that can lead to health problems if not managed carefully.
While One Punch Man is on hiatus, the author will be able to relax, regain his energy, and perhaps even reconsider the idea of continuing with the excessive redrawings. Eventually, it's expected that ONE will choose to focus on developing new chapters rather than reworking previously published material.
While readers may miss frequent releases, it's undeniable that the author's well-being should be a priority. After all, a healthy creator is essential for the work to maintain its quality.
The third season of the anime premieres in October 2025.
While the manga is taking this strategic break, the One Punch Man is also preparing new releases. The highly anticipated third season is scheduled to premiere in October 2025, produced by JC Staff .
However, many fans remain wary. Previously, the same studio produced the second season, which disappointed with weak animation, especially when compared to the acclaimed first season.
So far, the studio has only released a trailer, which, unfortunately, hasn't managed to allay fans' concerns. In fact, many are even more concerned that the new season will repeat past mistakes.

The pressure on the studio is certainly immense. As we know, One Punch Man is an action anime, so animation quality is a key factor.
Ideally, the studio would be more transparent with the public, as fans have been waiting for years to see their bald hero in action again. If the production doesn't live up to expectations, it might be prudent to postpone the release for a few more months, ensuring a more satisfactory result.
The arc promises epic battles
Above all, the anime's new arc holds enormous potential, as it will explore the intense war between the heroes and the monsters. Led by Orochi , the monsters seek to dominate the world and alter the established order. Although intelligent, they are, for the most part, ruthless and will not hesitate to eliminate anyone who crosses their path.
Meanwhile, the heroes must stop the monsters from reaching the surface and putting human lives at risk. Several S-class heroes will be ready to test their strength against the villains, promising memorable confrontations.
And, of course, the highlight will be Saitama , who will continue his tireless search for an opponent capable of withstanding his powerful blows.
So even with the temporary hiatus, the future of One Punch Man holds intense emotions in both the manga and anime.
