Yes, “Tougen Anki” Part 2 is officially confirmed and is scheduled to begin airing in October. This isn’t a long-awaited season two, but the second cour of the debut season, continuing the story without a break. The first season was planned as a 24-episode run, split into two parts from the start.
Did you know the Tougen Anki anime hit the global top five for non-English shows on Netflix shortly after its debut? That’s some serious momentum. While many were still reeling from the action-packed first half, the production committee was already dropping trailers for the continuation. After spending way too many hours analyzing the news, I can say the hype is real, and the train isn’t stopping.
Tougen Anki’s Sequel is a Second Cour
What’s being called “Part 2” is the second cour of the first season. The anime was announced with a 24-episode order, designed to run consecutively. So, there won’t be a torturous multi-year wait. Studio Hibari is rolling straight from the first 12 episodes into the next batch, keeping the story’s momentum going strong as it heads into its next major arc this fall.
When Does Part 2 Air?
The wait is almost over. The second cour of Tougen Anki is slated for an October premiere. New episodes will continue to drop weekly, following the same schedule as the first part. This means no seasonal break, giving fans a seamless transition into the next phase of Shiki Ichinose’s journey. Official announcements confirmed the continuation alongside new visuals and trailers, setting the stage for more intense battles.
What Will the Plot of Part 2 Be?
Get ready for the “Nerima Arc.” Trailers and official announcements have made it clear that the second cour will adapt this pivotal storyline from the manga. In this arc, Shiki and his group travel to Nerima to continue their studies but must conceal their identities from the Momotaro agents in the city. Expect new allies, formidable new foes, and a significant shift toward darker, more complex themes.
Are There New Characters Coming?
Absolutely. The Nerima Arc introduces a wave of new characters from both the Oni and Momotaro Agencies. Key additions confirmed include Mikado Momodera of the Momotaro Agency and Masumi Yodogawa and Kaoru Namikido from the Oni Agency. New voice actors have been announced, promising to flesh out the expanding world and the escalating conflict between the two factions.
Is There Enough Manga for a Full Season 2?
Yes, and it’s not even close. The Tougen Anki manga, written by Yura Urushibara, has been running since 2020 and has over 25 volumes to date. The first season’s 24 episodes will likely only cover a fraction of that. After this season concludes, there is a mountain of source material available for a potential Season 2, Season 3, and beyond, ensuring the story of the Oni and Momotaro has a long future.
How Popular is Tougen Anki Really?
The numbers don’t lie. The manga has sold over 4 million copies, a figure that’s sure to skyrocket with the anime’s success. Its immediate popularity on streaming services like Netflix, where it became a top-five global hit, proves its massive appeal. This level of success makes future seasons not just a possibility, but a very strong probability, assuming viewership remains high.
Where Can I Watch the First Part?
You can stream the first cour of Tougen Anki on several major platforms. It received a wide global release on Netflix, Crunchyroll, and Amazon Prime Video, making it one of the most accessible anime of the season. So, while you’re waiting for October, you can easily catch up on all the blood-soaked action and drama from the beginning.
Will We Get an Actual Tougen Anki Season 2?
While nothing is officially confirmed beyond the second cour, it’s a safe bet. Given the manga’s extensive story, the anime’s explosive popularity, and the significant investment in the “Tougen Anki Project” (which includes stage plays), a full second season seems inevitable. The producers are clearly aiming for a long-running franchise. For now, let’s just enjoy the upcoming Nerima Arc and wait for the next big announcement.
