12 Crucial ‘One-Punch Man’ Manga Moments That Season 3 Has To Nail

Bullies, underdogs and characters who get no credit: One-Punch Man is a manga that features plenty of those characters and the tropes/themes that go with them as well as a clever twist on the norm as the titular character isn’t the most popular in a world where heroes are ranked and given money based on their superhero popularity level.

Manga creator ONE first created One-Punch Man as a web comic, where it quickly went viral, garnering over 10,000,000 hits! Along with One-Punch Man, ONE also writes and draws another series called Mob Psycho 100.

One Punch Man finally embraces the one true pleasure of its Monster Association arc by going as big as humanly possible. Massive double-page spreads, insane detailing on crumbling cityscapes, and Murata unleashing his horniest inner-self through the guise of cosmic horror. That last one I’m a little less enthusiastic about, but it is undeniably thrilling to watch the OPM team come together to deliver what they clearly hope to be the biggest final battle ever conceived in manga. As I’ve noted for ten volumes now, the shaky storytelling of this arc does little to buttress this apocalyptic climax, but there is plenty of delirium to be mined from Murata’s unmatched sense of scale and ONE’s video game logic, as eldritch moons made of brain cells impart godlike powers, and a character fractures the Earth’s core in order to raise an underground labyrinth to the surface.
