All One Punch Man Arcs in Order (2025 Guide)

Last updated on October 30th, 2025 at 11:13 pm

One Punch Man continues to dominate the anime and manga scene, even in 2025. Even though the season 3 was released after a halt of around 4 years, people still waited for it eagerly.

Personally, I think, the gap was too long and if the new season do not offer something crazy, I might not watch the next season.

Over more than a decade, One Punch Man has evolved across webcomic, manga, and anime formats, each expanding the story in its own way.

Whether you’re planning to start OPM manga or just want to see where each arc fits, we have the complete list of all One Punch Man arcs in order and also organized by saga that you start reading/watching right away!

How Many Arcs Are in One Punch Man?

The One Punch Man story currently spans 4 major sagas and 22 arcs in total.

The webcomic (by ONE) is the original source, running with 150+ chapters.

The manga remake (by Yusuke Murata) began in 2012 and has now crossed 200+ chapters.

The anime (by Madhouse and J.C. Staff) has adapted most arcs up to the Monster Association Saga, and Season 3 (2025) is expected to continue that adaptation.
