Crunchyroll started streaming an English dub for Tougen Anki: Nikko Kegon Falls Arc on October 24, beginning with the first two episodes. The new season premiered October 2, so dub fans are only a few weeks behind the Japanese broadcast. Crunchyroll hasn't named the dub cast yet.
Quick answer
Tougen Anki: Nikko Kegon Falls Arc is the fall 2026 season of Studio Hibari's adaptation of Yura Urushibara's Tougen Anki: Legend of the Cursed Blood manga, directed by Ato Nonaka. It premiered October 2, 2026. The English dub is on Crunchyroll as of October 24, 2026 (episodes 1-2 first). Subtitled episodes also stream on Netflix (worldwide outside Japan) and Prime Video (worldwide except Japan and mainland China). According to SenpaiRanks, the first TV run sits at a 6.61 adjusted score, and the new arc's board opens as votes come in.
The setup for this arc
After the fights in Kyoto and Nerima, Shiki and the Rasetsu Academy students are getting stronger. Then Yaoroshi walks out. He rejects instructor Mudano's lesson about friendship and follows Oni Brigade General Hayate Todoroki, who wants the "total eradication of the Momotaro." When Shiki learns the Brigade's creed treats even non-fighters as targets, he goes after Yaoroshi with Mudano and the class. They end up in Nikko, where Kegon Falls has stopped flowing and a huge research facility now runs horrific experiments.

Sub or dub, and which platform
Crunchyroll is the only place with the English dub. Netflix and Prime Video carry the show too, so the choice is mostly about where you already pay. If you want the dub, Crunchyroll. If you're happy with subtitles and already on Netflix, the series is there outside Japan. The first season (July 2025) and the Nerima Arc (October 2025) are the required catch-up before Nikko.
Is it worth catching up?
Tougen Anki is a straight shonen action pitch, oni vs. Momotaro descendants with blood-based powers. At 6.61 on SenpaiRanks it sits below fall's biggest shows, but the Nikko arc is the manga's darker, research-lab turn, which is where readers say it gets good. If you've seen it, rate the first season or rate the Nikko Kegon Falls Arc.
