Tougen Anki's anime sequel, the Nikko Kegon Falls Arc, has its premiere date and a full opposing cast. REMOW confirmed an October 2, 2026 broadcast, with recap episodes for the Kyoto arc on September 30 and the Nerima arc on October 1. The arc runs in two split cours, the second set for April 2027. Ato Nonaka directs at Studio Hibari with Yukie Sugawara on series composition. Hiromitsu Kitayama performs the opening theme "Backlash," and TRACK15 performs the ending theme, listed as "Hand in Hand" in some places.
Two batches of cast additions define the arc. Gakuto Kajiwara leads the Oni Brigade as Hayate Todoroki, a "Child of Kishin" like protagonist Shiki Ichinose. The Brigade operates independently from the Oni Agency and aims to wipe out the Momotaro, pulling the conflict into a three-way fight. Later, three more names joined as Momotaro Agency staff at the Kegon Falls facility: Kenichi Suzumura as branch chief Kusabi Momoura, Yuki Kaji as 10th Unit Captain Hizumi Momotsugi, and Kisho Taniyama as 3rd Unit Vice-Captain Senritsu Momoo. The series also continues its merchandise and game expansions. Taito Kuji launched July 24, 2026, with a Mujina no Muto figure and other prizes, and Com2uS is developing the 3D turn-based RPG Crimson Inferno with an original story and original characters. Crunchyroll Manga added the title among 16 new manga releases.
