What Is Nanbaka All About!
Nanbaka started as a manga in 2015. Shō Futamata is the writer and illustrator of this manga series. The manga readers appreciated the work globally, and soon Satelight Studio picked it to make an anime tv series.
The main narrative of the anime talks about the life of four men called Jyugo, Rock, Uno, and Nico. They are all in a prison sentence, and they get transferred to Japan’s most secure jail named Nanbaka.
The anime is all about the adventures of this mischievous gang. The audience loved the comic timing and animation of the show and accepted the anime wholeheartedly. Let’s see if the previous seasons were successful enough to get another sequel!
When Is Nanbaka Season 3 Releasing?
As far as it seems, the creators of the anime series are still waiting for more content to be released by the mangaka. Currently, they have only two volumes to adapt for the third season, which is not enough.
Once they get at least one more volume, the production team might start working on the third season of Nanbaka. However, it may take some time and we need to wait for the release date at least until 2022.
According to online sources, the studio might plan to make a smaller season with fewer episodes or a film instead. In that case, it may arrive around mid-2021. As of now, anime lovers can expect Nanbaka Season 3 as early as the end of 2021. However, it’s always advisable to wait for an official statement.

What’s Taking so Long to Release Nanbaka Season 3?
The writer of ‘Nanbaka – The Numbers,’ Japanese manga series has published eight volumes between November 2015 and July 2018. The creator and illustrator, Shō Futamata, has not issued any more books for the last two years. So the fans started worried about the future of the anime.
Nanabaka seasons 1 and 2 adapted the story of the first six manga volumes. So, there are only two volumes left for the producers to make an entire season (which is comparatively less).
As we mentioned above, Studio Satelight might currently be waiting for more source material for Nanbaka season 3. However, if the writer publishes a new volume this year, it may take a while to hit the market.
However, many otaku fans are suggesting a shorter version with fewer episodes to get a proper conclusion to their favorite show. Even if the makers plan to compose Nanbaka Season 3 with fewer episodes, it would be the final season of this anime series.
