Crunchyroll has announced it’s exclusively publishing Sekiro: No Defeat, an original anime series based on FromSoftware’s 2019 masochism simulator, with Studio Qzil.la at the animation helm and One Punch Man’s Kenichi Kutsuna directing the damage.
Take a look at the trailer:
The time is Sengoku.
Japan is fractured into many independent nations entangled in ceaseless war. At the center lies Ashina, a land of sacred earth and ancient mystery. Two decades after Sword Saint Isshin Ashina reclaimed the region in a brutal coup, a new threat emerges from within: The Interior Ministry.
Desperate to protect his homeland, Isshin’s grandson Genichiro turns to forbidden powers. The only hope lies in a kidnapped boy — the Divine Heir — and his silent protector: a loyal shinobi known only as Sekiro.
Slated for a 2026 release, the show isn’t just banking on name recognition — it’s bringing back the original voice actors for Wolf (Daisuke Namikawa), The Divine Heir (Miyuki Satou), and Genichiro “Yes, he lived AGAIN” Ashina (Kenjiro Tsuda), because if there’s one thing Sekiro fans love, it’s continuity… and suffering.
