On Friday, July 5, 2024, the official sources of One Punch Man anime unveiled the character visual of Bang, also known as "Silver Fang." The new illustration is drawn by Shinjiro Kuroda, one of the character designers, alongside Ryosuke Shirakawa, for One Punch Man season 3.

Following the release of the One Punch Man season 3 announcement video back in February 2024, the anime's official sources have been releasing one new character visual every month.

Following that, the anime released its fifth character visual, which was for Bang "Silver Fang." Out of the four illustrations that were previously released, only one of them was drawn by Shinjiro Kuroda. Meanwhile, the others were drawn by Ryosuke Shirakawa. With the release of Bang's character visual, fans finally have another visual drawn by Shinjiro Kuroda.

As for Bang's illustration, it features the veteran S-Class Hero looking ahead all while having his hands behind his back.

Upon seeing the character visual for Bang, many fans began addressing the hero as one of the "GOATs" (an acronym for Greatest of All Time).

"one of my goats," one fan said.

"I think they are specifically showing basically the new fubuki group. Just need Bomb hero visual," another fan said.

Meanwhile, another fan theorized that the One Punch Man anime staff must have been releasing the character visuals for the new Fubuki Group, also known as Saitama Group.

This is why all the visuals that had been released for the anime were characters from the said group. Thus, the fan looked forward to the character visual for Bomb, also known as "Wind of Death" next.

"show garo next cowards," another added.

"Can't wait for season 3!" other fan said.

Meanwhile, another fan jokingly called the staff members "cowards" and demanded they release Garou's character visual next. Nevertheless, the released character visual fulfilled its purpose as fans were hyped up about One Punch Man season 3.
