Next, Yasumoto performed the scene where King meets Saitama, masterfully contrasting comedy and seriousness to captivate the audience. After that, Midorikawa presented the shocking scene where Garō first appears in the anime and easily defeats three A-Class heroes, impressing everyone with a spine-chilling performance that conveyed Garō’s overwhelming strength.

Subsequent scenes featured nonstop battles between characters and humorous moments, keeping the energy high throughout. At the end of the live dubbing segment, as a surprise, part of the first episode of the anime’s third season was performed live, eliciting gasps and cheers from the audience. The segment concluded with Saitama setting out to find Garō upon hearing rumors of hero hunters, building even greater anticipation for Season 3.

Then came the "Maji Live" segment. Composer Miyazaki and his band took the stage. Backlit by red lighting, JAM Project appeared as silhouettes and performed the first season's opening theme, "THE HERO !! Ikareru Kobushi ni Hi wo Tsukero." With raised fists and energetic jumps, they delivered a dynamic performance as the audience switched their penlights to red and showed powerful support.

Next, a storm of background music medleys began. The first piece, "Justice Execution," is familiar to fans. Set against scenes from the anime projected on a screen, string and brass instruments created a powerful soundscape, immersing the audience in the world of the story. Then came "Genos fights," spurred on by the band’s hand-clapping. The powerful, up-tempo performance matched Genos's battle scenes. "Martial Arts" followed, with a memorable violin melody that captivated the audience.

During the MC, Miyazaki remarked, "It's an honor to participate in such a wonderful event. I intend to go all out with a 'Maji Setlist' featuring only battle themes!" After introducing the band members, they performed a series of thrilling and catchy songs: "Never End," "Rapid Speed," and "Accept Battles," with the hall's excitement continuing to rise. For "Fubuki," starting with the bass and followed by trumpet, trombone, and saxophone, they created a jazzy atmosphere.

Miyazaki then reflected on producing the soundtrack for the series, sharing that he began his music career as a guitarist: "Honestly, there was a time when guitar sounds felt stale to me, but when I got the offer for 'One Punch Man' with a concept focusing on electric guitar, I was able to use every guitar technique I had ever learned. I truly feel this project was my turning point," he commented. Regarding season 3's soundtrack, he said passionately, "The director and sound director greatly respected my musicality, and I think the result is something truly outstanding."

He then announced that he would perform, for the first time, the themes for Zombieman and Garō from season 3, prompting cheers from the audience. Miyazaki, a big fan of Zombieman, commented, "I composed the theme imagining his cool, immortal character." On Garō, he said, "I empowered the Garō theme from season 2 and showed a different side of him through the music." He also hinted that "the theme for Garō is a motif in the season 3 teasers and PV music, so some of you might get to check your guesses today." The live performances of the aggressive, guitar-forward Zombieman theme and the grand theme for Garō heightened expectations for season 3's dramatic developments. After the songs, Miyazaki took time to introduce the band members one by one, to thunderous applause.

JAM Project then returned to the stage, performing live with Miyazaki and the band for the first time—a collaboration made possible by the 10th anniversary. Kageyama expressed, "A live concert with Miyazaki is the best!" drawing loud cheers from the audience. They performed "Seijaku no Apostle," the opening theme for season 2, overwhelming the hall with their powerful vocals.
