The third season of the anime Mashle: Magic and Muscles, titled "Tri-Magic-Athalon Divine Visionary Final Exam Arc" (Japanese: "Sanma Taisei Shinkakusha Saishū Shiken-hen"), will air in January 2027. A first teaser trailer has been released, offering a glimpse of the new adventures.
The story picks up immediately after the events of the second season: Following the attack by Innocent Zero, Mash Burnedead and his friends return to Easton Magic Academy and face the ultimate test – the final exam to become a Divine Visionary. In this final exam, not only familiar faces like Domina Blowelive appear, but also a series of new, quirky students. The mix of tournament action and dry humor that characterized the first two seasons continues.
The production team remains largely unchanged: Tomonari Tanaka directs, Yōsuke Kuroda writes the script, and Masaru Yokoyama composes the music. There is a change in character design: Chiaki Furuzumi, known as the chief animation director of Solo Leveling, takes over from Hisashi Higashijima. The animation is once again handled by A-1 Pictures. The voice cast also returns in full: Chiaki Kobayashi as Mash, Reiji Kawashima as Finn, Kaito Ishikawa as Lance, Takuya Eguchi as Dot, Reina Ueda as Lemon, and Hiroaki Hirata as the narrator.
The announcement of the third season was first made at Jump Festa 2026 in December 2025, where a teaser video and key visual were presented. At Anime Expo 2026 in July 2026, the specific start date of January 2027 was announced. The original manga series by Hajime Kōmoto was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from January 2020 to July 2023 and completed in 18 volumes. Over 12 million copies have been sold worldwide. The first anime season aired from April to July 2023, and the second season (Divine Visionary Candidate Exam Arc) from January to March 2024. The new season will continue the manga's story and adapt the third major arc.
