On March 5, 2025, One Punch Man season 3 unveiled new visuals featuring the sequel's antagonists, Orochi and Gyoro-Gyoro. The highly anticipated season is set to premiere in October 2025 and is animated by the animation studio J.C. Staff. The newly released visuals were drawn by two of the three character designers working on season 3.

One Punch Man season 3 is based on a popular shonen manga series written by ONE and illustrated by Yusuke Murata. The manga's author, ONE, draws a webcomic, which is redrawn as a proper manga by popular manga artist Yusuke Murata. The manga started its publication on June 14, 2012, and has so far compiled 33 volumes (30 released in English).

As revealed on One Punch Man season 3's official X account, the new visuals feature two characters. First is Lord Orochi, the leader of the Monster Association, shown in red colors with an ominous face. Second is Gyoro-Gyoro, depicted in pink colors, similar to his appearance in season 2.

These visuals might be the official color schemes of these characters, as they were drawn by the series' two character designers. Gyoro-Gyoro's latest visual was drawn by Shinjiro Kuroda (2nd key animator of SK8-The Infinity), and Orochi's was drawn by Ryosuke Shirakawa (key animator of Spy X Family and Violet Evergarden).
