One-Punch Man\u2019s<\/a> third season has been surrounded by controversy, with anime fans believing that JC Staff wasn\u2019t able to live up to the same heights as its source material. In a few days, episode twelve of season three will arrive, marking the end of the latest anime season, with many believing that this might also signal the end of the anime adaptation as a whole. To get fans prepared for the end, the production studio has released a new preview that focuses on the Hero Association and the Monster Association preparing to clash for what might be the final time.<\/p>\n

Alongside new images to promote the season three finale, One-Punch Man dropped a synopsis of episode twelve. The breakdown reads, \u201cAs the S-class heroes engaged in fierce battles against the monsters, the terrifying Tatsumaki finally reached Gyoro Gyoro, and an otherworldly battle of psychic powers was about to begin. And then, the ultimate life form, Monster King Orochi, finally appeared before Saitama!\u201d In the anime world, many franchises will almost immediately announce a new season following a previous season finale, but based on the critical reception to One-Punch Man\u2019s third season, this might not be the case here. Fingers crossed that Saitama\u2019s latest season finale brings the season to a close and restores some of the goodwill for fans. You can check out the new preview images below.<\/p>\n

The controversy surrounding One-Punch Man\u2019s third season<\/a> even had victims who worked on the anime, as earlier this fall, anime director Shinpei Nagai deleted his social media due to the blowback. Nagai explained the reasoning behind why he left the internet behind, \u201cI have some rather unfortunate news. There are a few people among my followers who are pretending to be allies, but are actually engaging in rage-baiting, so I\u2019ve decided to delete my account. Their actions- such as taking my statements out of context, trying to elicit comments that violate NDAs, or turning them into profit \u2013 are unacceptable and cannot be overlooked. I\u2019ve always done my best for the fans with the utmost sincerity, but I\u2019ve come to the conclusion that continuing in this environment is untenable for this project.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even though Saitama\u2019s days on the screen might be numbered<\/a>, One-Punch Man will continue via the web comic from creator ONE and the manga. To date, neither printed story has hinted at the idea that they will end, so we could see years of future stories focusing on the Hero Association. Should a season four be confirmed, anime fans will be beyond interested to learn whether JC Staff will return to the seemingly \u201cdoomed\u201d project or if another production house might take the reins. Considering it took over five years for season three to arrive, many might be hoping for the anime adaptation to change hands.<\/p>\n
