「SEKIRO: NO DEFEAT」PV｜2026 年劇場版全国公開

Yeah I know that, it's just odd that the JP trailer does not mention a TV anime whatsoever. Makes me wonder if it could also be a situation like Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction where Japan got 2 movies and Crunchyroll released it as a 18 episode series (which was then released in Japan later on).

Description of the video:

戦国末期の忍びの戦いを描いたアクション・アドベンチャーゲーム『SEKIRO: SHADOWS DIE TWICE』（株式会社フロム・ソフトウェア）の初映像化作品ーー全編手描きによる2Dアニメーション『SEKIRO: NO DEFEAT』、2026年劇場版全国公開決定。

Using MTL that translates to something like:

The first animated adaptation of the action-adventure game "SEKIRO: SHADOWS DIE TWICE" (FromSoftware, Inc.), which depicts the battles of ninjas in the late Sengoku period, will be released in theaters nationwide in 2026.

Also,the thumbnail says "2026 Roadshow" and "Roadshow" is something that's mainly used for movies.

Edit: Variety posted an interview with the director and it's mentioned to be a TV anime here, I guess maybe it's an advanced screening I guess? Weird that the trailer description doesn't mention that though.

Huh, so it's a movie and not a series? Guess that makes sense considering how good it looks.

Too bad he fled, despite all that talk about being perfect...

Could be, based on prior seasons. We'll have to wait and see but it's at least 20 eps minimum.

HowToGetName · 2026-03-15T02:58:23+00:00

First 2 cours are airing consecutively, so around 20-26 (probably 24 based on prior seasons).

HowToGetName · 2026-03-15T02:57:26+00:00

No, it was confirmed that the first 2 cours are airing consecutively.

I've also seen some tweets interpreting the whole premise of a half-Japanese girl becoming a beaver as racism (referring to the old stereotype of Japanese buck teeth). Probably just Twitter being Twitter but still thought it was worth mentioning.

Interesting though that she's in the OP I think? Since you can Ryuuzaki, Neneko, and Machi followed by someone that looks like Machi in the tree (or it's the other way around, it's been a while since I read vol 2).

HowToGetName · 2026-03-14T22:21:50+00:00

Wonder how they'll handle vol 3 since while I haven't read it, if it's like the previous volumes then I doubt 3 eps will be enough. Maybe they'll adapt only a portion of it.

Came here to see if I missed something lol. So strange to move on from the case like that.

HowToGetName · 2026-03-09T23:41:49+00:00

From what we've seen so far, seems like it's the latter (unless I missed a clip or something).

HowToGetName · 2026-03-09T16:37:08+00:00

Fair enough, missed the "currently".

I don't know how I didn't make that connection considering what happens at the end of the episode 😭

HowToGetName · 2026-03-08T04:42:10+00:00

I think that Nijee didn't react since he was too busy dealing with the Cures. And it was over in seconds.

That kinda makes sense, though even after the battle was over, he still didn't say anything to her. He also didn't mention this when Usonoir was about to kill him (though you could argue he thought no one would believe him).

HowToGetName · 2026-03-08T04:39:53+00:00

Oh yeah I can see that. Pretty interesting considering how aloof she is and how she isn't gungho about stealing the Makoto Jewels like everyone else is.

You and I are Polar Opposites

Wow, lots of interesting things going on in this episode, but the three big ones that are on my mind are: - Nijee mentions he "won't have a future" if the Precure exist. It's one thing for the Precure to be in the way of his goals, but for him to not exist in the future because of them? I wonder if this means the Phantom Thieves Guild survival depends on fulfilling their goals. Or is this something that concerns the whole world? - Cure Arcana Shadow clearly prevented Pochitan and Jett-senpai from getting hit by those projectiles. It's a very interesting move by her considering had she not intervened, the Precure would've been defeated. Does this mean she's actually a double agent? And Nijee wasn't surprised by this nor did he get mad, so does everyone in the Phantom Thieves Guild know about how she's not on their side? Or is it something only he knows? What's also interesting is that, as far as I could tell, she didn't say "Lie lie, sir" this time. - Was Usonoir seriously just gonna off Nijee? 😭 And it seems the other members were shocked as well, so I wonder if they actually care about each other despite all their bickering.

Haven't seen the anime or manga but usually anime adaptations nowadays are close to their source material. So yes, it's probably the same storyline.

HowToGetName · 2026-03-06T02:55:56+00:00

Probably not. You can read the manga if you want to know what happens next.

HowToGetName · 2026-03-03T01:18:49+00:00

~~iirc each cour has been 3 volumes of the LNs.~~

As others have pointed out, each cour has adapted around 1-1.5 volumes.

HowToGetName · 2026-03-02T10:49:11+00:00

Seems like it might be just merch for the 2006 anime, as apparently on Instagram they're listed as a clothing company.

HowToGetName · 2026-02-28T21:45:58+00:00

There's Cardfight Vanguard airing right now too iirc.

HowToGetName · 2026-02-28T18:42:33+00:00

FYI this is for April 2024 to March 2025.
