Is the Anime Finished?#
If you are wondering whether you can dive into the series and find a complete story, the answer is no. Tougen Anki: Legend of the Cursed Blood is not finished.
While the initial anime adaptation premiered in July 2025, the story continues. A sequel has already been announced: the Nikko Kegon Falls Arc. According to recent news, this sequel is scheduled to premiere in October 2026. Because the anime is an adaptation of the manga, viewers who want to know more than what is covered in the televised arcs will need to refer to the original source material.
If you want to keep up with the latest releases, you can watch the anime on Prime Video as it becomes available.
What is Tougen Anki About?#
Tougen Anki presents a supernatural conflict centered on bloodlines. The story follows Shiki Ichinose, a young man who possesses Oni blood. In a world where those with Momotarou blood are tasked with hunting down Oni, Shiki’s life is an anomaly; his father, a Momotarou, refused to kill him and instead raised him as his own son.
Themes and Appeal#
The series is best suited for fans of action-heavy narratives and stories centered on revenge and familial bonds. The core appeal lies in the tension between Shiki’s rebellious Oni nature and the tragedy of his father’s death at the hands of the Momotarou Agency. This event transforms the story into a quest for vengeance, making it a compelling watch for those who enjoy high-stakes supernatural battles.
