The Tougen Anki anime is moving into its next arc. After the first season ran 24 episodes and premiered in July 2025 on Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Prime Video, the sequel, Nikko Kegon Falls Arc, was announced. It is set for an October 2026 release and will stream on Crunchyroll as part of its fall 2026 slate. Ato Nonaka directs at Studio Hibari, with Yukie Sugawara on series composition. The arc runs in two split cours, with the second cour set for April 2027.
The arc introduces the Oni Brigade as an independent faction with the goal of wiping out the Momotaro. Gakuto Kajiwara plays Hayate Todoroki, the brigade's commander, who like protagonist Shiki Ichinose is a Child of Kishin. Eight other cast members were announced for the brigade. Three more cast members were later added as Momotaro Agency staff at the Kegon Falls facility: Kenichi Suzumura as Kusabi Momoura, Yuki Kaji as Hizumi Momotsugi, and Kisho Taniyama as Senritsu Momoo. Hiromitsu Kitayama performs the opening theme "Backlash," and TRACK15 performs the ending theme, titled "Hand in Hand" in some listings. Recap episodes for the Kyoto arc and the Nerima arc air September 30 and October 1.
Outside the anime, the manga by Yura Urushibara has sold over 4 million copies in Japan and was added to Crunchyroll Manga in August 2026. A 3D turn-based RPG, Tougen Anki Crimson Inferno, is in development by Com2uS, with original characters and an original story. The development team said the split between anime-based and original content is about half and half. A Taito Kuji lottery launched July 24, 2026, with prizes including a Mujina no Muto figure.
