One-Punch Man Season 3 Part 2: Furukawa Ending & January 2027
One-Punch Man Season 3 Part 2 premieres in January 2027, and Makoto Furukawa is back on the ending — this time writing the lyrics himself. The official site's November 7, 2026 update names the song "Wakusei no Katasumi" ("Corner of the Planet"), confirms it is Furukawa's first anime tie-in where he also wrote the lyrics, shows four new hero visuals and two monster visuals, and restates that JAM Project returns for the opening "Never Done - SUPREME POWER VS ULTIMATE FEAR -."
Last checked: November 7, 2026, against Anime News Network, the official One-Punch Man anime site, Crunchyroll News, and the earlier ANN Part 2 window piece (2026-10-10).
If you are here for the Saitama power-scaling debate while you wait, our evergreen reads are Goku vs Saitama 2026 and the strongest anime characters hub. For the calendar slot itself, keep the 2026–27 release schedule nearby — Part 2 is a January 2027 title, not a leftover Fall 2025 leftover.

Furukawa already sang Season 2's ending and Season 3 Part 1's ending ("Soko ni Aru Akari" / "The Light, That's There"). The November 7 news is not "Furukawa returns" — that was expected — it is that he wrote the lyrics this time, which ANN and Japanese entertainment coverage both flag as a first for his anime tie-in work.
What is unconfirmed
Do not treat these as settled:
- Exact January 2027 premiere day and Japanese broadcast slot for Part 2
- Whether every current Part 1 streaming partner renews the same windows for Part 2 (licenses can shift between cours)
- English dub schedule for Part 2
- Full episode count for Part 2 / Season 3 overall beyond the cours structure already announced
- Which specific heroes and monsters appear in the six new visuals (the site posted art; English writeups did not always name every figure in plain text)
- Whether the ED single's retail date affects the TV air order (Japanese CD commentary has circulated a February 17, 2027 release date for the CD; treat retail timing as separate from the TV premiere window unless the official news page ties them)
Cast and staff (Season 3 carryover)
Season 3's core credits, as previously reported for the series and restated in ANN's November 7 wrap:

| Role | Name |
|---|---|
| Original | ONE (story), Yusuke Murata (art) |
| Director | Shinpei Nagai (J.C.Staff) |
| Series composition | Tomohiro Suzuki |
| Character design | Chikashi Kubota, with Shinjiro Kuroda and Ryōsuke Shirakawa |
| Art director | Sakura Murakami |
| Color design | Mayumi Tanahashi |
| Director of photography | Yuki Hirose |
| Editor | Masahiro Gotō |
| Sound director | Yoshikazu Iwanami |
| Music | Makoto Miyazaki |
| Animation | J.C.Staff |
| Saitama (JP) | Makoto Furukawa |
Lead cast beyond Saitama is unchanged from prior seasons for the core Hero Association / monster roster unless a later staff board says otherwise. This post does not invent new casting from the visual drop.
Music breakdown
Ending: "Wakusei no Katasumi"
- Japanese title: 惑星の片隅
- English gloss used by ANN: "Corner of the Planet" (Crunchyroll News used a looser "The Corners of the World")
- Vocals + lyrics: Makoto Furukawa
- Context: Furukawa's comment (via Japanese press) points at Saitama's line about human strength coming from the ability to change, and says he wanted a song that affirms the "humanity" of both heroes and monsters. That is thematic framing for Part 2's arc, not a plot spoiler dump.
Opening: "Never Done - SUPREME POWER VS ULTIMATE FEAR -"
- Artist: JAM Project
- Status: Announced with the October 2026 Part 2 key visual / PV package; restated in the November 7 ED news
- Japanese promo copy also renders the subtitle along the lines of "strongest vs most terrifying" — English materials keep the official English title string above
Part 1 paired JAM Project (with BABYMETAL on "Get No Satisfied!") for the OP and Furukawa for the ED. Part 2 keeps the same house bands in the theme slots, with the lyricist credit as the real news delta.
Visuals drop — what it signals
Four hero images and two monster images are a classic mid-season hype board: they preview who gets poster space in Part 2 without publishing an episode table. Until the official site captions every board in English, the safe claim is the count and the fact of the drop — not a fan-wiki ID list.
For readers who care about production vibe more than spoiler casting: Season 3 already moved off Madhouse's Season 1 look into J.C.Staff's Season 2 lineage. Part 2's new boards are the committee telling you the second cour is locked and marketed, not vaporware after the long gap from Part 1's Fall 2025 run.
Timeline of Season 3 so far
Scroll horizontally to see all columns
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| Oct 5, 2025 | Season 3 opens with a recap special |
| ~Oct 12, 2025 | First numbered Season 3 episode (overall anime episode 25) |
| Oct–Dec 2025 | Season 3 Part 1 / first cours window |
| Oct 10–11, 2026 | Official PV + key visual: Part 2 set for January 2027; JAM Project OP titled |
| Nov 7, 2026 | ED titled; Furukawa lyrics credit; 4 hero + 2 monster visuals |
The year-long gap between Part 1's end and Part 2's start is intentional scheduling, not a silent cancellation. January 2027 is the window to watch — put it on the same mental shelf as other early-2027 cours launches on the release schedule.
Where Season 3 has been streaming
ANN's November 7 article reiterates the Part 1 distribution map that English viewers already used:
- Hulu — United States
- Disney+ — Canada
- Netflix — Latin America, Australia, New Zealand
- Crunchyroll — also in Latin America and Oceania alongside Netflix in those regions
That is a report of existing Season 3 availability, not a fresh Part 2 license sheet. When Part 2 launches, re-check each platform's catalog rather than assuming a perfect copy of Part 1's footprint.
Why the lyrics credit matters for fans
Voice-actor theme songs are common. Voice-actor lyricist credits on the same franchise's ED are rarer, and ANN called this Furukawa's first anime tie-in with that dual role. Combined with his public note about affirming hero and monster humanity, the song is being positioned as Part 2's tonal thesis — useful context if you skipped Part 1 and only care about "is Season 3 worth finishing."
Power-scaling readers who landed here from Saitama matchup searches: theme-song news does not change punch metrics. For that argument, use Goku vs Saitama and the strongest characters list; this page stays on release and music facts.
