Tougen Anki Season 2: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far

Man, Tougen Anki really came out of nowhere and slapped hard in 2025. That first season just wrapped on December 26 with 24 episodes, and literally the same day they dropped the sequel announcement. No chill at all.

They’re calling it Tougen Anki: Nikko Kegon Falls Arc and even threw out a teaser trailer plus a new key visual. You see Hayate Todoroki standing there looking intense, and yeah, people are already losing their minds.

Tougen Anki Season 2 Release Date Speculations

No official date yet. Realistically, since they announced it right after the finale, I’d guess late 2026 at the earliest, maybe winter 2027 if they take their time. Studio Hibari isn’t exactly known for super-fast turnarounds, but the show did pretty well on streaming (Netflix and Crunchyroll both pushed it), and the manga’s been selling like crazy – over 5 million copies now. So there’s decent motivation to not drag it out forever. My personal bet is fall 2026, but that’s just me being hopeful.

Tougen Anki Season 2 Expected Cast

Most of the main cast should be back, no question:

• Kazuki Ura is still Shiki Ichinose (that scream in episode 12 still lives rent-free in my head)
• Hiroshi Kamiya as Naito Mudano
• Koutaro Nishiyama as Jin Kogasaki

They haven’t said anything about new voices yet, but Hayate Todoroki is obviously getting someone decent. Dude’s the leader of the Kikoku unit, so probably not a random rookie seiyuu. I’d put money on them grabbing someone with a deeper, rougher tone to match the vibe.

Tougen Anki Season 2 Potential Plot

Season 1 ended right as things were getting serious – Shiki’s finally figuring out his Oni blood, the Momotaro Agency is cracking down harder, and the whole Oni vs. humans war feels way bigger than it did at the start.

The Nikko Kegon Falls arc is where the manga really starts cooking. Hayate Todoroki shows up and basically starts rallying people for a huge offensive. Expect more brutal fights, weirder blood powers, and a lot more focus on what it actually means to be an Oni in this messed-up world. It’s darker and messier than the Kyoto and Nerima arcs, and there’s some real gut-punch moments. If you’re anime-only, just know the body count and the emotional damage are about to go up.
