One-Punch Man Season 3 episodes 6 and 7 were reported with IMDb scores of 1.4 and 2.4 in a November 27, 2025 CBR article. Those are dated figures, not verified current ratings—and the available evidence does not establish that either episode holds an all-time record across IMDb or anime.
What the reported ratings actually say
CBR reported that Season 3 episodes 6 and 7 had IMDb scores of 1.4 and 2.4, respectively, in its November 27, 2025 article. The same report compared the 2.4 score with the 2.5 rating for Dragonball Evolution and said earlier One-Punch Man episodes ranged from 7.3 to 9.5. These are the article’s reported figures; the direct IMDb-hosted article page was inaccessible, and current scores and vote counts have not been verified. Read the report indexed by IMDb News.

The phrase “worst ratings record” therefore needs a boundary. The figures concern particular episodes on IMDb, as reported at a particular time. They do not establish an all-time ranking of anime episodes, television episodes, or even a live ranking among One-Punch Man episodes. User-submitted ratings can change as votes are added.
Why episode 6’s reported score differs between articles
GamesRadar reported a 2.7/10 IMDb rating for episode 6, “Motley Heroes,” on November 19, 2025. CBR’s later November 27 report gave episode 6 a score of 1.4. The two figures are snapshots from separate dates, not scores to average or combine; the difference illustrates why a rating claim needs a timestamp. GamesRadar’s November 19 report.

Neither report supplies a verified current IMDb rating and vote count for these episodes. Without a current platform snapshot and a defined comparison set, the claim that episode 6 is the lowest-rated anime episode ever remains a headline formulation rather than an established ranking.
What viewers criticized—and what that does not prove
GamesRadar described complaints about the episode’s animation and pacing. It also noted that one-star voting may have affected the score while acknowledging substantive criticism from viewers. That reporting offers context for the reaction, but it does not establish a single cause for the rating or turn a user score into an objective measure of quality.
Rank #2
The same report quoted One Piece animator Vincent Chansard cautioning against placing responsibility solely on the animation studio: “I think a lot of people blame J.C. Staff, but it’s a bit more complex. Sometimes, it’s not about the animation studio; sometimes it’s about the production committee that is on top of everything.” His reported comment is a general caution about production responsibility, not evidence about the specific arrangements behind Season 3.

How to read “lowest-rated” claims carefully
- Check the date of the rating snapshot; episode scores can change as users vote.
- Compare the same platform and timestamp, and include vote counts when they are available.
- Separate episode ratings from season averages.
- Ask what “worst” covers: this series, anime episodes on IMDb, or all television.
- Treat audience criticism and a numerical score as different kinds of evidence.
