The production team of the anime series 'One Punch Man' released an updated key visual for the second half of the third season on June 26, 2026. The motif shows the Hero Association and the Monster Association in a juxtaposition already familiar from the first cour. New additions include Saitama with a serious expression, the repaired Genos, Garou, Drive Knight, and the Monster Association leader Psykos, who has not been shown in the anime before. The second half of Season 3 is scheduled to air in 2027.

Parallel to the visual release, the first major exhibition celebrating the anime's anniversary opened on the same day in Tokyo: the '10th Anniversary One Punch Man Exhibition' at the Sunshine 60 Observatory Tenbo Park in Ikebukuro. The exhibition is open until July 20, 2026, and takes visitors through seven themed areas covering the first season up to the first cour of the third season. Highlights include a 'Maji Celebration Shikishi Road' featuring 51 signed color boards by creator ONE, illustrator Yusuke Murata, and numerous voice actors and artists, interactive photo spots, and a replica of Puri Puri Prisoner's 'Angel Stiff Hair Armor'.

Garou's voice actor, Hikaru Midorikawa, visited the exhibition as one of the first guests and expressed his enthusiasm: 'The exhibition is much more lovingly designed than I expected. There are many great photo opportunities, and I even caught myself stroking the Angel Stiff Hair Armor.' He also tried the collaboration menu, including Saitama's burger with ginger sauce and drinks from Garou and Genos. Midorikawa called on fans to visit the exhibition and look forward to the second half of the third season, which is currently in production.

The third season of 'One Punch Man' began in fall 2025 with the first cour, which comprised twelve episodes and introduced the Monster Association arc. Production remains with Studio J.C.Staff. The series is based on the manga by ONE and Yusuke Murata, which is published in Japan on the platform 'Tonari no Young Jump' and has achieved a worldwide total circulation of over 36 million copies. To celebrate the anniversary, a reversible sukajan jacket with a Saitama motif is also being offered, which can be pre-ordered until July 20.
