One-Punch Man season 3, episode 1 release date: what time is it premiering on Hulu and Crunchyroll?
One-Punch Man season 3, episode 1 is expected to release on October 12 after 7:45 AM Pacific/10:45 AM Eastern on Hulu/Disney Plus in the US.
In the UK, that's 3:45 PM BST, with new episodes premiering on Crunchyroll for European viewers.
The release timings are very much up in the air, however. Right now, all we have to go on is Japan's release time at 23:45 PM Japan Standard Time, with new episodes then typically arriving in the west within one-to-two hours.
Something will be released this October 5, however, but it will only be a season 2 recap, per Crunchyroll – so if you're up to date, feel free to skip it and wait for the season 3 premiere on October 12.
