This new illustration drawn by Ryosuke Shirakawa, the character designer for the third season, has received excitement and appreciation from fans.

Despite his incredible strength, Saitama still craves a challenging fight, as his abilities make defeating monsters too easy.
The announcement of Fubuki's character art is the fourth in a series of monthly reveals following the release of the One Punch Man season 3 announcement video in February 2024.
Previous character images released include Saitama “Caped Baldy”, King and Genos “Demon Cyborg”. The illustration of Genos was drawn by Shinjiro Kuroda, while other images, including Fubuki, were created by Ryosuke Shirakawa.

In the newly revealed illustration, B-Rank Hero Fubuki is depicted with his arms raised in front of him, possibly in preparation for a battle.
Fans reacted positively to the image, with many expressing gratitude to the staff of One Punch Man season 3 and praising the character designs.
Comments from fans included enthusiastic reactions like “Thank you! She looks great!” and “Ok JC Staff, you're finally on the right track.”
These reactions highlight renewed confidence in JC Staff, the studio responsible for animating the series, as some fans had previously doubted their ability to animate One Punch Man effectively.
However, not all fan reactions are entirely positive. Some fans expressed disappointment that there was no confirmed release date for the anime, as the focus on character art had left them eager for more specific information.
Additionally, some fans have speculated how the anime would look if animated by another studio, such as WIT Studio, known for its detailed animation work.
