TOUGEN ANKI: Anime fans, gather your sacred blades and dramatic backstories — because the TOUGEN ANKI anime is turning up the heat with its upcoming Nerima Arc, and we’ve got five epic reasons why this new chapter is basically the anime event of Fall 2025.
Whether you’re Team Oni or Team Momotaro (or just here for the stylish fight scenes), there’s no denying this arc is set to bring drama, action, and maybe a sprinkle of blood-powered sibling rivalry. Here’s everything you need to know — with jokes included for free.
1. The Trailer Slaps (Literally and Emotionally)
Let’s start with the obvious: the new TOUGEN ANKI trailer just dropped, and it’s an absolute banger.
It features main protagonist Shiki Ichinose glaring dramatically at new rival Mikado Momodera, with enough slow-motion intensity to power a shonen franchise for ten years. There’s action, tension, power-ups, and just enough emotional damage to ensure someone’s punching a wall before the episode ends.
Also: if looks could kill, this trailer would be an instant Isekai starter pack.
2. A Cast So Stacked It Deserves Its Own Battle Chart
The Nerima Arc comes with a fresh wave of new characters, and that means a fresh cast of voice actor royalty. Let’s just say the studio didn’t hold back.
On the Oni side, we’re meeting:
- Masumi Yodogawa (voiced by Atsushi Tamaru)
- Kaoru Namikido (voiced by Haruki Ishiya)
On the Momotaro side, it’s a full family reunion of chaos:
- Mikado Momodera (voiced by Shunichi Toki)
- Shinya Momoiwa (voiced by Chiharu Sawashiro)
- Tsukuyomi Momoka (voiced by Shintaro Asanuma)
- Osuke Momokado (voiced by Yuki Ono)
Yes, that’s six new characters and six chances to develop an irrational anime crush. We won’t judge.
3. New Theme Songs That Will Live Rent-Free in Your Brain
No anime arc is complete without new music — and TOUGEN ANKI delivers. The opening theme, “AMIDAKUJI” by CHOGAKUSE, brings the kind of raw energy that makes you want to run a 5K (or at least dramatically tie a headband).
The ending theme, “ACTION” by eill, hits those mellow, emotional notes that are perfect for post-battle feels. Expect montage sequences, quiet rooftop moments, and probably at least one tragic monologue.
Warning: you will hum these at work and confuse your coworkers.
4. It’s Dropping This October — AKA Peak Anime Season
That’s right — the Nerima Arc kicks off in October 2025, right when the leaves fall and anime studios bring out their big guns. While others are sipping pumpkin spice, TOUGEN ANKI fans will be sipping plot twists and spiritual combat.
Timing couldn’t be better. It’s spooky season, and what’s spookier than Oni clans, cursed bloodlines, and characters with unresolved trauma?
Answer: nothing. Nothing is spookier.
5. The Plot Thickens Like Supernatural Stew
The Nerima Arc isn’t just new characters and fight scenes — it’s a deep dive into the heart of TOUGEN ANKI’s mythos. We’re talking secret pasts, evolving powers, and big questions like:
- Can Shiki handle the truth about his heritage?
- Will alliances be formed… or destroyed?
- Why does every villain look like they just stepped off a runway?
This arc is beloved in the manga for a reason. Fans can expect character growth, epic battles, and emotional payoffs that will leave you yelling at your screen in the best way possible.
Final Thoughts: Nerima Arc = Must Watch
TOUGEN ANKI is leveling up, and the Nerima Arc is proof. With an action-packed trailer, a dream-team voice cast, killer music, and juicy plot developments, this arc is basically the anime version of adding hot sauce to an already spicy dish.
So set a reminder, charge your Crunchyroll account, and get ready to dive into the demon-slaying chaos this fall.
Because let’s be honest — your watchlist just found its new number one.
