One Punch Man fans have something major to celebrate. It has been confirmed that JAM Project will return to perform the opening song for Season 3 of the beloved anime. Known for their iconic anthems in both Season 1 and Season 2, the band’s return has sparked waves of excitement across the community. As the series nears its tenth anniversary, the comeback of JAM Project feels like the perfect nod to the beginning of Saitama’s journey and everything the franchise has accomplished.
The third season is scheduled to premiere in October 2025. This time, the animation is once again being handled by J.C. Staff, the same studio behind Season 2. VIZ Media has officially acquired distribution rights for North America, Latin America, and Oceania, while Crunchyroll will continue to stream the series in European regions.
The first season of One Punch Man premiered in 2015 and quickly became a sensation, largely thanks to its explosive action, absurdist humor, and an unforgettable theme song. “THE HERO!! Ikareru Kobushini Hiwo Tsukero” by JAM Project set a tone that perfectly matched the overpowered simplicity of Saitama, a man who trained for three years and became so strong that he could defeat any enemy with just one punch. Fans also remember “Uncrowned Greatest Hero,” the opening song for Season 2, which carried forward the emotional and epic atmosphere the band is known for.
Now, as One Punch Man gears up for its third chapter, the return of JAM Project signals not just continuity but celebration. This season arrives during the franchise’s tenth anniversary, a milestone that adds extra weight to every creative decision. The producers clearly understand the legacy they are building upon, and JAM Project’s music has always been a key part of that identity.
Originally created as a webcomic by ONE in 2009, One Punch Man gained massive popularity before receiving a digital manga adaptation in 2012, illustrated by Yusuke Murata. Since then, it has been serialized on Shueisha’s Tonari no Young Jump and published in English by Viz Media. The anime adaptation began with Studio MADHOUSE and later transitioned to J.C. Staff, continuing to evolve both stylistically and narratively.
Season 3 promises to pick up from the growing chaos of monster appearances and the rise of the mysterious hero hunter, Garou. With the Hero Association stretched thin and dark omens hinting at planetary doom, Saitama’s role becomes more central than ever. Alongside Genos and a mix of returning and new characters, fans can expect a season packed with clashes, comedy, and character growth.
As we count down to October, all eyes are now on the official reveal of the new JAM Project track. With their signature mix of power vocals and orchestral energy, the band is poised to deliver another anthem that captures the essence of One Punch Man: thrilling, absurd, and unforgettable.
