It’s clear now that Kagurabachi’s anticipated anime adaptation is no longer a question of if, but rather when it will happen. The series appears poised for an imminent transition into the anime format, as suggested by a recent report. The series is seen as the next big thing to carry Shonen Jump forward following the conclusion of its major successes, and with the manga performing well without an anime, all that’s needed for it to soar even higher is a high-quality and faithful adaptation that showcases the story’s best aspects.
According to a recent financial and status report from Studio CyberAgent, they plan to unveil four secret anime projects starting in 2026 and beyond. Previously, the reliable publication Toyo Keizai had reported that CyberAgent’s Cygames Pictures would be taking charge of an anime adaptation and that it would be a joint production between CyberAgent and Shochiku. Given the source’s reputation in the anime industry, there was minimal doubt about the news’ authenticity. It appears that the studio’s upcoming projects have sparked excitement among fans, suggesting that the action series could debut very soon.
Kagurabachi‘s Anime Is on the Horizon
In the veil of secrecy, Chihiro Rokuhira, the offspring of the revered blacksmith Kunishige Rokuhira, comes into possession of a solitary sword that his father kept concealed from the world. Kunishige crafted six mythical “Enchanted Blades” from the uncommon mineral Datenseki, weapons that brought an end to the Seitei War. For years, the family lived in obscurity, but their seclusion could not shield them from the clutches of the Hishaku, a merciless sorcerer organization. They murdered Kunishige and stole the six blades. Equipped with Enten, an undisclosed seventh Enchanted Blade, Chihiro embarks on a vengeful journey, intent on dismantling the Hishaku and reclaiming the weapons from those who misuse them, only to understand as he travels that his father’s creations carry a far heavier weight than he had initially comprehended.
Here’s my attempt at paraphrasing:
As an ardent fan, I can confidently say that the moment has come for this captivating manga to be transformed into an anime! With 89 chapters already published and more on the horizon, there’s ample material for a 12-episode first season or even a 24-episode, two-cour season if paced effectively. The manga is swiftly approaching the coveted 100-chapter milestone, and each new volume release consistently tops the monthly best-seller list.
Its popularity has been undeniably confirmed, and it’s received a seal of approval from the creators of renowned series like Naruto and My Hero Academia! Shonen Jump readers have also given it high marks among weekly releases. All this manga needs now is a well-crafted anime adaptation to soar to the heights it was destined for!
Fans are eagerly anticipating Kagurabachi based on CyberAgent’s exceptional work on recent projects like “The Summer Hikaru Died” and “Uma Musume”. The fact that it’s a collaboration between these two parties demonstrates Shueisha’s dedication to producing high-quality content. CyGames was selected because of its smaller size, allowing for more dedicated focus on the series. Ultimately, the staff roster is what will determine the anime’s potential.
