Crunchyroll announced on Saturday that it has begun streaming an English dub for the Tougen Anki: Nikko Kegon Falls Arc television anime, with the first two dubbed episodes now available. The platform has not yet disclosed the English voice cast.
The series is based on Yura Urushibara‘s manga Tougen Anki: Legend of the Cursed Blood. The new arc premiered on television on October 2 and began streaming outside Japan the same day at 25:00 JST (effectively 1:00 a.m. on October 3).
Story Synopsis
REMOW describes the arc as follows: Having survived fierce battles in Kyoto and Nerima, Shiki and his fellow students at Rasetsu Academy continue to grow stronger. However, Yaoroshi rejects Mudano’s teachings on friendship and is drawn to Oni Brigade General Hayate Todoroki‘s call for “the total eradication of the Momotaro,” ultimately abandoning the academy.
When Shiki discovers that the Oni Brigade considers even noncombatants fair targets for slaughter, he sets out after Yaoroshi alongside Mudano and the other students. Their destination is Nikko, where Kegon Falls has mysteriously stopped flowing and a massive research facility has been erected in its place — within which horrific experiments are underway.
