One Punch Man Season 3 English Dub Countdown: Release Window, Cast Updates, and How to Watch
The countdown is nearly over: the new season lands in days with higher stakes, fresh faces, and the payoff fans have been waiting for.
Five years. That is how long it has been since One-Punch Man last dropped new episodes. The hype for season 3 is real, but the big question I keep getting is simple: when do we get the English dub?
If you watched seasons 1 and 2 dubbed, you know the bar is high. The show lives and dies on its ridiculous energy, and the earlier dubs nailed the humor and timing. With new manga characters joining the action this season (read: fresh voices in the mix), the casting and timing matter even more.
So, when is the season 3 English dub?
Short version: there is no official date yet. What is locked in is the subbed premiere on Crunchyroll on 12 October, right after that recent recap special.
Historically, the English dub for seasons 1 and 2 hit Toonami months after the Japanese broadcast. This time looks different. VIZ Media (they license One-Punch Man in a bunch of international markets) announced the season 3 English voice cast back in July 2025. That is a very inside-baseball sign that recording has been happening ahead of launch, which opens the door for a same-day or near-day-and-date dub.
If it is not simultaneous, a short delay is the most plausible outcome. A two-week gap would land the dub around 26 October on Crunchyroll. Not confirmed, just the most reasonable window based on the breadcrumbs.
VIZ is still labeling the season 3 dub as 'coming soon.'
What we know right now
- Season 3 premieres subbed on Crunchyroll on 12 October (following a recent recap special).
- No official English dub date yet.
- Seasons 1 and 2 had dubs that arrived months later on Toonami, but signs point to a faster rollout this time.
- VIZ Media announced the season 3 English voice cast in July 2025, suggesting dub recording has been underway.
- Best-case scenario: sub and dub launch together. Next best: roughly a two-week lag, which would be around 26 October on Crunchyroll.
- For now, VIZ is publicly saying 'coming soon.'
I will update this the second VIZ or Crunchyroll locks the dub date. In the meantime, One-Punch Man is streaming on Crunchyroll, with season 3 kicking off 12 October.
