Sunrise's reboot of Ronin Warriors presses on. Yoroi Shin Den Samurai Troopers Part 2 premieres July 7, 2026 on Tokyo MX, with new cast, two new theme songs, and a fresh promo video out now.
Quick answer According to SenpaiRanks, Yoroi Shin Den Samurai Troopers Part 2 premieres July 7, 2026 on Tokyo MX (also Kansai TV and BS11), animated by Sunrise. The opening theme is "Bad Idenshi" by Dannie May; the ending is "Bakemon" by karanoah. It continues Sunrise's modern reboot of Yoroiden Samurai Troopers — the 1988-89 series released in the U.S. as Ronin Warriors. SenpaiRanks tracks it on the summer 2026 action board across the Consensus and Quality axes.
Where it comes from The original Yoroiden Samurai Troopers ran 1988-89 and became a cult favorite abroad as Ronin Warriors — five boys in elemental Yoroi Gear armor against a demon emperor. This reboot drops the same premise into present-day Shinjuku, and Part 2 is the back half of that revival.
The new cast The Part 2 additions skew prestige: Maaya Sakamoto as Yashimanosagume, Takehito Koyasu as Inmei, Tomoaki Maeno as Gomei, Aya Endō as Shimei, and Hiroshi Shirokuma as Gaimei. That's a roster of voices longtime fans will clock immediately.
Reception signal The music picks are doing real lifting here. Dannie May takes the opening with "Bad Idenshi," and karanoah handles the ending, "Bakemon" — a deliberately current sound bolted onto a late-'80s property. A promo video showcasing both is up on the official site (samurai-trooper.net).
When you can watch it Part 2 airs July 7 at 11:30 p.m. on Tokyo MX, followed by Kansai TV and BS11.

The read Reboots of '80s properties live on whether they respect the original's appeal without embalming it; the prestige cast and modern soundtrack suggest Sunrise is aiming for living, not preserved. Its position on SenpaiRanks's summer 2026 action board fills in once Part 2 airs and viewers weigh in — rate it after the premiere and you help set the read.
