One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 5: Release Date and Everything We Need to Know

One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 5 comes along as Garou's monstrous transformation reaches an all-new horrid level. His clothes have actually melted into his skin now, and he's just vaporized King Ripper in seconds—a monster who just about killed him a few days ago! Meanwhile, the S-Class heroes are finally on their way to headquarters and have no idea that Child Emperor has secretly flagged Genos and Bang from the mission.

You can catch the One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 5 on November 9, 2025, at 8:45 AM PT and 11:45 AM ET on Hulu for US viewers or on Crunchyroll internationally. This points to shifting levels of the buildup to battle into action. The Monster Association raid is about to start, Tareo is in trouble underground, and Garou is somewhere along the lines of hero to nightmare.

In the US, One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 5 streams on Hulu, not Crunchyroll. In Europe, it will stream through Crunchyroll. And viewers in Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand can catch it on Netflix.

What Can You Expect from One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 5?

One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 5 should really step the narrative forward. King's arrival at the headquarters means the roster of S-Class heroes is near complete for the coming full-force attack. Flashy Flash, Tatsumaki, and Superalloy Darkshine are all set up to finally start fighting the Monster Association.

The Monster Association's hideout should also have some brutal fights. Garou showed that he's powerful enough to beat Royal Ripper as fast as possible, using Ban's water stream rock-smashing fist combined with Bomb's whirlwind iron-cutting fist. Garou's blend of martial arts skills suggests that he has developed even beyond human capabilities.

There's also lingering uncertainty about Saitama being involved. He has been involved in more comedic segments doing mundane things, but the arc cannot continue through comedy forever before pulling him in. If the show continues to build slowly before exploding into an epic fight or two will definitely test the viewers.

One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 5 could also trigger events for Fubuki, while Tatsumaki might prevent her from participating. The opening sequence has hinted at a splinter team involving Fubuki, Bang, Bomb, and King.

What Happened in One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 4?

Episode 4 was more about the strategic prep this time than the spectacle, like the past few episodes. Garou got up from being severely injured (likely mortally wounded) from both Royal Ripper and Bug God. But his healing was concerning; his shredded costume appeared to have literally merged with his flesh. The unitary physical change signifies that he has continued along the path of monsterization.

In the midst of all this, now the Hero Association was in disarray, with the Child Emperor questioning Genos and Bang. Child Emperor was worried about Genos because Metal Knight hinted to him not to trust anyone, and he doesn't trust Genos for living in Z City. It is possible because the Monster Association operated there, and mostly being the newest S-Class hero.

Saitama's apartment unexpectedly became a hotpot meal with Dr. Kuseno, to get meat to check on Genos, and the awkwardness of the group vows to eat together. The entertaining environment became intimate and close.

At dinner, Genos exhibited some odd irritation when he reacted curtly to Saitama's suggestion that he try better meat next time. Although an unusual display of irritation, it did indicate some deeper issues related to Dr. Kuseno, confirming Saitama was right to note Genos had something that bothered his mood during dinner.

The climax of the episode provided brutal action when Garou took on Royal Ripper once more. Tareo was about to be executed before Garou smashed through the wall, broke Royal Ripper's weapon instantaneously, and lopped his head off in one swoop. The combination of Bang and Bomb's technique in the whirlwind iron cutting fist should be a sign of how strong Garou has become.

The stage is set for the epic battle only to come. One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 5 needs to fully utilize this to execute the action it has been building towards for several weeks.
