Why it matters
The cast and theme announcements fill in the last pieces before a November 26 Netflix date, and the Sunrise and Shaft pairing under Yukawa is the reason to watch how the Tenka world gets rendered rather than who joins the roster.
Key Facts
- Fool Night streams worldwide on Netflix starting November 26, 2026.
- Atsuyuki Yukawa directs the adaptation of Kasumi Yasuda's manga, animated by Sunrise and Shaft.

The adaptation of Kasumi Yasuda's Big Comic Superior manga adds Shion Wakayama as pianist Sumi Matsuno, Dai Tsuchida as Eijitsu Party secretary-general Ken Hikasa, and Nobuhiko Okamoto as Nishi, alongside Ayaka Senbongi and Yumiko Kobayashi. Tempalay performs the opening theme and Nowlu the ending theme. Atsuyuki Yukawa directs, with Sunrise and Shaft animating together.
The main PV opens on Yomiko Horai narrating the Tenka technology, then moves through riots against the system and a speech by Ken Hikasa, the Eijitsu Party secretary-general who leads the opposition. The full figure of Ivy appears for the first time, and the preview closes on scenes that suggest open fighting.
Tempalay's opening theme is titled "Shake! spit out," described as a psychedelic melody carrying the show's world. Nowlu's ending theme "Iki" is a rock number built around the struggles of Toshiro and the rest. Both arrive with the November 26 start.
