Fans of One-Punch Man have been eagerly counting down the days for the next thrilling installment of Season 3. With the Monster Association arc heating up, anticipation is at an all-time high, and everyone is curious to see how Saitama and the S-Class Heroes will handle the mounting chaos. Episode 6 promises to push the story further into action-packed territory.
After a season that has balanced humor with high-stakes battles, Episode 6 is expected to mark a turning point. The last episode focused heavily on Garou’s latest confrontations, leaving viewers with a sense that the heroes are finally preparing to strike. With streaming platforms confirming schedules, fans can now plan their Sunday anime binge with confidence.
What Happened in One-Punch Man Season 3, Episode 5
Episode 5 primarily showcased Garou’s relentless training and confrontations, putting him front and center. Fans witnessed his clashes with multiple monsters, from tiger-level threats to the formidable dragon-level creature Gyoro Gyoro, culminating in a tense fight against Orochi. While the episode featured more character movement than previous installments, many viewers found the action lacking real impact.
The animation, though slightly improved, still relied heavily on static shots and awkward transitions. Scenes that should have felt intense instead often seemed disjointed, with attacks lacking weight and timing. Dialogue like Garou’s “It’s hunting time” highlighted his growing menace, but the visual execution didn’t fully support it, leaving the episode feeling underwhelming despite the narrative build-up.
Episode 5 also set the stage for the upcoming raid on the Monster Association. While Saitama remained mostly in the background, the focus on other characters, particularly Garou, hinted at a major shift. The episode’s cliffhangers served to remind fans that the real action is just beginning and that Episode 6 could finally deliver the high-octane battles the series is known for.
What to Expect in One-Punch Man Season 3, Episode 6
Episode 6, scheduled for release on Sunday, November 16, 2025, promises to launch the heroes into the Monster Association’s underground stronghold. In the United States, it will premiere on Hulu and Disney Plus at 8:45 a.m. Pacific and 11:45 a.m. Eastern. For viewers in the UK and Europe, the episode arrives at 4:45 p.m. GMT on Crunchyroll, offering fans worldwide a synchronized viewing experience.
The focus is expected to shift toward the S-Class Heroes’ strategic preparations. Genos may take the lead in scouting and initial engagements, while interactions among other heroes like Atomic Samurai and Child Emperor could provide critical insights into their assault plans. True to form, Saitama’s involvement is likely to be minimal at first, preserving the comedic timing and dramatic buildup of his eventual entry that hopefully also brings better One-Punch Man animation.
Fans should also anticipate early skirmishes with lower-ranking Monster Association members, setting the tone for more intense battles to come. With One-Punch Man Season 3 reportedly spanning twelve episodes, Episode 6 represents a crucial midpoint, where stakes rise sharply, and the momentum of the Monster Association arc accelerates toward its climactic confrontations.
