Fans are super excited for “One Punch Man Season 3,” especially since it’s been five years since the last season ended. The recent teaser trailer has got everyone talking.
If you’ve read the manga, you know Garou is going to be a big deal this season. Last we saw him, Phoenix Man had taken him away, making everyone wonder if he was part of the Monster Association.
So, the big question on everyone’s mind: Is Garou still hanging out with the Monster Association? The answer’s simple: No, he’s not with them in Season 3.
Garou’s Role in One Punch Man Season 3
In “One Punch Man Season 3,” Garou is going to be a big deal. He’s the main bad guy this time around, but he’s not teaming up with the Monster Association.
His transformation into a stronger being wasn’t because of any monster cells.

Garou’s Unique Transformation
We’ve seen others in the show change because of monster cells, but Garou is different. His drive to become the ultimate symbol of fear is what changes him.
In the new season’s trailer, we see Garou taking on Monster Association members like Royal Ripper and Bug God.
Pushed to the edge, Garou starts to change on his own, getting stronger very fast. So, he’s definitely not on the Monster Association’s side in Season 3.

Why Garou Fights Alone?
Garou isn’t about joining groups. He’s set to take on heroes and monsters alike in Season 3, driven by his personal beliefs.
We learned in the last season that Garou always rooted for the underdog because of how he was treated as a kid.
This led him to become the “Hero Hunter,” taking on heroes and monsters alike with his martial arts skills.
LET’S GO GUYS 😭 😭 😭

Garou vs. the Monster Association
Even though the Monster Association, led by Orochi, has many strong fighters, Garou is not one of them.
The Season 3 trailer makes this pretty clear, and the episodes will show us more about this.
Garou’s Power Unleashed
We’ll see more of what Garou can really do later in the series. It’s not sure how much of the Monster Association story will be in Season 3, but Garou’s growing power is going to be a huge challenge for Saitama, maybe the toughest he’s faced so far.
