The previously announced Tougen Anki: Nikko Kegon Falls anime was confirmed to be Season 2. It will premiere in October, as announced today at AnimeJapan 2026. It was also announced that Nobuhiko Okamoto and Kent Ito are joining the cast as Hagure Nekosaki and Yu Innami.

Hagure Nekosaki is a part-time instructor at Rasetsu Academy. Mudano requested that he joins in with the students’ new training regimen. He seems pretty polite, but...?

Yu Inami is a part-time instructor at Rasetsu Academy. Like Nekosaki, he’s participating in training with the students. Despite always coughing up blood, he remains a positive and passionate guy.

The anime adapts the Tougen Anki: Legend of the Cursed Blood manga by Yura Urushibara. The series is currently published in Akita Shonen's Weekly Shonen Champion magazine. Yen Press licensed it in English and describes the plot:

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…?

Studio Hibari animated the adaptation, which had two arcs, with the following staff:
