While narrating the character development, it is being said, “An overabundance of strength is a burden to its bearer, giving rise to complications. Or those who become monsters shed their original selves.”
As of now, the release date for One-Punch Man season 3 hasn’t been confirmed by the makers. However, looking at the release trajectory of the anime, there was a four-year gap between season 1 (2015) and season 2 (2019).

The synopsis for One-Punch Man season 3 reads,
“Saitama is a hero who only became a hero for fun. After three years of “special training,” he’s become so strong that he’s practically invincible. In fact, he’s too strong—even his mightiest opponents are taken out with a single punch. Alongside Genos, his faithful disciple, Saitama performs his official hero duties as a member of the Hero Association”
“One day, monsters claiming to be from the Monster Association suddenly appeared, taking a child of a Hero Association executive as a hostage. The S-class heroes gather and plan a raid on the Monster Association hideout to rescue the hostage. Meanwhile, Garou, a ‘human monster; who was taken by the Monster Association during a battle with the heroes, awakens in the Monster Association hideout.”
