Touken Ranbu Dо̄den -Chikashi Haberau Monora- will have a limited run in Japanese theaters for three weeks, starting on August 16. And, yes, it will feature the same talented cast and staff as the Touken Ranbu Kai: Kyoden Moyuru Honnōji anime! The story will focus on Heshikiri Hasebe, so get ready for an epic adventure!

Touken Ranbu Kai: Kyoden Moyuru Honnōji is the anime adaptation of the Touken Ranbu Kyoden Moyuru Honnōji stage play. And, trust us, it’s a must-watch! The eight-episode anime premiered on April 2 and ended on May 21, featuring an all-star cast and crew. Don’t miss out on the excitement!
Touken Ranbu Kai: Kyoden Moyuru Honnōji stars:
Kazuya Ichikawa (Bakugan, Monster Strike the Animation) directed both anime at Domerica. The play’s director and playwright Kenichi Suemitsu (Welcome to the Ballroom, Delico’s Nursery) returned to oversee and write the series scripts. Mari Takada (Bakugan, Monster Strike the Animation) designed the characters, and Ryūnosuke Kasai (7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life, Fluffy Paradise, Love After World Domination) composed the music. It’s a dream team!
Touken Ranbu Kyoden Moyuru Honnōji is the first of 15 non-musical stage plays based on the Touken Ranbu Online game. And, boy, are we excited! The play follows Fudō Yukimitsu, the (anthropomorphized) sword that real-life legendary leader Oda Nobunaga received from his attendant Mori Ranmaru. It’s a story like no other!
The Touken Ranbu “sword personification training game” takes famous swords from Japanese history and interprets them as bishōnen. Nitroplus designed the characters and scenario. The game launched in Japan in January 2015. And, let’s just say, it’s been a wild ride ever since!
The franchise has inspired a whole array of anime series, films, stage plays, and manga. And, with Touken Ranbu Dо̄den -Chikashi Haberau Monora-, we’re expecting even more excitement!
Johren released the original Touken Ranbu browser game in English in April 2021, and released the smartphone version of the game in August 2021. Johren shut down the game’s English and Chinese versions last August. But, don’t worry, there’s still plenty to look forward to!
An anime of Sanrio‘s Wanpaku! Touken Ranbu project was also announced in January. The Touken Ranbu: Tsuki no Tsurugi Enishi no Kiri no wa kabuki stage play had screenings in Japanese theaters starting on April 5. It’s a world of swords, adventure, and excitement – and we can’t wait to dive in!
