TOUGEN ANKI is preparing to open a new chapter this fall, with the anime officially returning on October 2, 2026 for its second season, the Nikko Kegon Falls Arc. Ahead of the premiere, the production team has unveiled a new promotional video and key visual, while also confirming several additions to the cast.

At the heart of TOUGEN ANKI is an ancient conflict between two bloodlines that have survived through generations: the Oni and the descendants of Momotaro. The Oni once chose isolation in an attempt to contain their violent nature, but their fragile peace collapsed after an attack by Momotaro. Over the centuries, the conflict evolved into a struggle between the Oni Agency and the Momotaro Agency. Shiki Ichinose is thrown directly into this hidden war when an unexpected Momotaro assault reveals that Oni blood runs through his veins. Forced to confront a heritage he never knew existed, Shiki begins discovering both the power and burden connected to the Oni within him. The Nikko Kegon Falls Arc will continue that journey when TOUGEN ANKI returns this October.
