The TV anime Toaru Anbu no Shoujo Kyousei (ITEM) has released a brand-new promotional video titled “VS ITEM PV,” spotlighting a fierce confrontation between the real ITEM squad and a group of dangerous imposters lurking within Academy City.

A Spinoff Diving into ITEM’s Dark Side

The series is a spinoff of Toaru Majutsu no Index, the cornerstone of the “Toaru” franchise. Toaru Anbu no Shoujo Kyousei follows the daily lives, bonds, and shadowy undertakings of ITEM — an elite unit of girls who carry out dirty work behind the facade of a peaceful city.

PV Highlights the “Fake ITEM” Showdown

The new PV introduces the four members of the “Fake ITEM” group, each presented alongside their respective codenames:

• Mejoki Koji Kaede
• Inoue Raspetsia
• Hanayama Kamitsu
• Waniguchi Nokoba

The footage delivers a rapid succession of high-energy battle scenes as the abilities of both sides clash head-on, signaling a major turning point for the series under the leadership of Mugino Shizuri.
