The two-cour TOUGEN ANKI anime, which wrapped up this anime season, is getting a sequel titled TOUGEN ANKI: Nikko Kegon Falls Arc. An announcement trailer and teaser visual were released with the news.
The character Hayate Todoroki is highlighted in the visual.
TOUGEN ANKI is based on the Akita Shoten-published manga by Yura Urushibara, which started serialization in Weekly Shonen Champion in 2020 and has 27 volumes as of December 2025. Yen Press describes the manga’s synopsis as such:
Shiki Ichinose’s blood is Oni, and his father’s is Momotarou. Normally, those with Momotarou blood hunt the Oni—but Shiki’s father refused to kill him as an infant. Instead, he adopted Shiki and raised him despite the rebellious attitude and dangerous temper that come with Oni blood. When a member of the Momotarou Agency kills Shiki’s father, Shiki vows to avenge him. But as he hones his abilities and learns to control his Oni blood, will he be strong enough to survive the dangers waiting for him…?
