The staff of the original television anime Inherit the Winds announced an advanced two-week screening in Japanese theaters starting November 13, centered on protagonist Tachikawa Jinsuke. The anime premieres in January 2027 on the Agaru Anime block on CBC, TBS, and 26 other affiliated networks. Set in Bakumatsu-era Kyoto, the story follows a memory-lost soldier aided by Shinsengumi member Okita Soji, who names him Tachikawa Jinsuke. Daisuke Sakuma stars as Jinsuke, with Yuki Kaji as Okita Soji.
The staff also unveiled a visual for the theatrical screening. Yutaka Narui and Aniplex handle the original story with cooperation from Azuki Mashiba, and Tomohiro Kawamura directs at Live2D Creative Studio and Drive Inc. Narui writes the scripts, Fumi Ebina designs the characters, and Shigeru Kishida composes the music.
A four-panel manga adaptation launches on Star Seas Company's Twi4 X account in 2026, drawn by Matsuri Muramatsu. Narui is a playwright and founder of the theatrical troupe Caramel Box who has worked on many Shinsengumi-themed stage plays. One of those plays was also titled Kaze wo Tsugumono, though written differently, and the anime is still listed as an original TV anime.
