Crunchyroll have recently announced that the anime series Kagurabachi, which is an anime adaptation based on the manga by Takeru Hokazono, will simulcast stream exclusively worldwide (excluding Japan, Mainland China, North Korea and South Korea) on the Crunchyroll platform in April 2027.
According to the press release Kagurabachi has quickly emerged as one of the most talked-about new titles in Weekly Shonen Jump, drawing strong fan anticipation for its stylized action and striking visual identity.
About: Flames of resolve, kindled by hatred. Chihiro Rokuhira is a boy who aspires to become a swordsmith, and took daily training under his father Kunishige, a renowned swordsmith. Their days, once filled with laughter, are brutally torn apart by an attack from the mysterious sorcerer organization, the Hishaku.
What is stolen from them are the six Enchanted Blades—swords of immense power capable of shaping the fate of the nation—and the gentle, warm life they once shared.
From that day on, everything changed. In a world engulfed in darkness, Chihiro takes up Enten, the seventh Enchanted Blade left behind by his father, and sets out on a blood-soaked path of revenge.
The anime adaptation is directed by Tetsuya Takeuchi, with character design by Keigo Sasaki, and animation produced by Cypic (Umamusume: Cinderella Gray, The Summer Hikaru Died) while voice talents include Taihi Kimura as Chihiro Rokuhira, Tomokazu Seki as Kunishige Rokuhira, and Katsuyuki Konishi as Togo Shiba.
Kagurabachi will be available to simulcast stream on Crunchyroll in April 2027 with exact broadcast dates and timings to be confirmed closer to release.
