More than five years on from the TV anime’s conclusion and the project’s announcement, the Katsugeki TOUKEN RANBU anime film has resurfaced to round out 2022 with the release of a brand-new teaser visual and video depicting Mutsunokami Yoshiyuki—following up a similar one for Izuminokami Kanesada released exactly one year ago.

Based on the mobile game developed by nitroplus and DMM, the Katsugeki TOUKEN RANBU TV anime aired in Summer 2017 and was directed by Toshiyuki Shirai at studio ufotable (Fate/Zero, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba). Crunchyroll streams the series, describing it as such:

The year is 1863, Japan is split between the pro-shogunate and anti-shogunate factions. In this chaotic time, the era of the swords is coming to a close. Horikawa Kunihiro has manifested as a Sword Warrior and is joined by Izuminokami Kanesada, a warrior who served under the same master as him. Sword Warriors are “Tsukumogami”, spirits and willpower that reside within a sword. These spirits are awakened by Saniwa to protect the world from the “Time Retrograde Army,” who were sent by historical revisionists from the future to alter history.

Details about the anime film, such as staff and release date, are yet to be announced.
