The Thunder 3 anime adaptation, based on Yuki Ikeda's manga, premiered on July 8, 2026, on Fuji TV's +Ultra block and began streaming worldwide on Netflix the same day. The manga had ended just over a month earlier, on June 5. The first episode faithfully adapts the manga's first chapter with added arrangements and includes a shocking multiverse twist as the protagonists enter a multiverse. Non-credit opening and ending videos were released, and celebrity fans including Hanako Okabe Dai and Shinku Jessica Gaku praised the adaptation.

The opening theme is Yuri's new song 'Thunderbolt,' and the ending theme is Otoha-otoha-'s 'Shururerira.' A fan event in Shibuya distributed lightning-shaped fans on the day of the premiere. A main promotional video and visual released on July 8 revealed seven new cast members for the rebellion faction, giving viewers the full rebellion lineup as the story concluded in the manga.

Anime News Network's review of the first three episodes, published July 27, called Thunder 3 the strangest isekai of the Summer 2026 season. The review noted an off-putting art style, a delayed central premise, and a weirdly structured first episode that adapts the manga's first chapter closely. The show's cutesy prologue and crude CG alien world may struggle to find an audience, according to the review.
