“Tougen Anki” is adapted from the popular manga by Yura Urushibara, serialized in “Weekly Shonen Champion” (Akita Shoten). Inspired by Japan’s beloved folk tale “Momotaro,” the series is a new-generation, dark hero demon saga revolving around the conflict between those who carry the blood of Oni and those who inherit the blood of Momotaro. The story begins when a boy named Shiki Ichinose (voiced by Kazuki Ura), who has been living as a regular human, is suddenly attacked by a mysterious man affiliated with the “Momotaro Agency.”

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Kyoto, Mudano leads the Oni unit to confront Tsubakiri and his faction. Upon understanding the gravity of the situation, Mudano attempts to withdraw his unit back to the Kyoto branch, but is confined inside a giant box created by Yomogi’s ability. Then, the monster “Aguri” created by Tsubakiri blows up the box itself...
