One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 9 is a strange mix of highs and lows — a clear return to form in terms of tone, writing, and character focus, but surprisingly held back by a weak and underwhelming battle sequence. In this review, we break down what worked, what didn’t, and why Episode 9 still feels like a step in the right direction despite the lack of impact in its main fight.
We discuss:
The improvements in pacing, dialogue, and comedic timing
Why the featured battle feels flat compared to Episode 8’s animation peak
Character highlights and emotional beats that land well
How the episode sets up bigger confrontations ahead
Whether OPM is finally finding its rhythm again in Season 3
What this episode signals for the remainder of the arc
