Thunder 3 Anime Gets Second Season In 2027
A second season was greenlit while the source manga is already finished, so the continuation rests on the adaptation's own standing rather than on a still-running serialization.

The television anime of the Thunder 3 manga will return for a second season next year, the staff announced Thursday. Hiroya Oku confirmed in September that he created the manga under the pen name Yuki Ikeda. The adaptation premiered on Fuji-TV's +Ultra block on July 8 and streamed worldwide on Netflix the same day. Kodansha USA publishes the manga in English.
The second season was announced with an illustration drawn by Yuki Ikeda, the pen name Hiroya Oku confirmed he used for the manga. Oku said he wrote under the name to keep a first-chapter surprise intact for readers who would have recognized the Hiroya Oku credit. The manga ended on June 5, and Kodansha published its 10th volume on August 17. Kodansha USA shipped the eighth volume in English on February 10.
