TOUGEN ANKI

Tougen Anki: Nikko Kegon Falls Arc premiered October 2, 2026 and is streaming on Crunchyroll. A second cour of the arc is set for April 2027.

Synthesized from 8 Yomimono stories · updated 1d ago

The Tougen Anki anime's current phase is the Nikko Kegon Falls Arc, which premiered October 2, 2026. Crunchyroll lists the arc at the front of its fall slate, and its opening episode drew a 2.7 percent rating in the Japanese animation TV rankings for September 28 to October 4.

The arc was announced as a sequel after the first season's 24th episode. The first season aired in July 2025 on Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Prime Video, and the manga by Yura Urushibara has over 4 million copies in circulation in Japan. Ato Nonaka directs at Studio Hibari, with Yukie Sugawara on series composition. The arc runs in two split cours, with the second cour scheduled for April 2027. Hiromitsu Kitayama performs the opening theme "Backlash," and TRACK15 performs the ending theme. Recap episodes for the Kyoto and Nerima arcs aired September 30 and October 1.

The arc's central conflict pits the Momotaro Agency against the Oni Brigade, a faction that operates independently from the Oni Agency. Those roles have driven the cast news. The Oni Brigade roster includes Gakuto Kajiwara as commander Hayate Todoroki, a "Child of Kishin" like protagonist Shiki Ichinose, alongside seven other announced voices. The Momotaro side added Kenichi Suzumura as Kusabi Momoura, chief of the Kegon Falls Branch, Yuki Kaji as Hizumi Momotsugi, and Kisho Taniyama as Senritsu Momoo.

Outside the anime, merchandise and licensing have kept pace with the broadcast. A Taito Kuji lottery launched July 24, 2026 with a Mujina no Muto figure. AMNIBUS will sell suit-illustration goods early at its Animate Girls Festival 2026 booth on November 7 and 8. Crunchyroll Manga added the title in August. Tougen Anki Crimson Inferno, a Com2uS 3D turn-based RPG built from the TV anime, carries an original story and characters; the developers put the anime and original content split at about half and half.
