The staff for "Tokyo Revengers: War of the Three Titans Arc," the latest arc of the Tokyo Revengers anime, presented its third trailer on Sunday. The video announces the arc's October 2 premiere and confirms that it will stream worldwide, excluding China, exclusively on Disney+. For a franchise that has moved through three previous arcs since 2021, the date fixes something that had been kept deliberately open until now.
The announcement arrives with a directorial change worth noting. Maki Kodaira, previously known for "The Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of the Apocalypse," is directing the anime at LIDEN FILMS, replacing Koichi Hatsumi from previous anime seasons. Hatsumi is now credited with collaborating on overseeing the series scripts. It is a lateral shift rather than a clean break, keeping institutional knowledge inside the production while introducing fresh directorial perspective for what is, structurally, the most complex arc in Ken Wakui's story.
The upcoming arc follows the conclusion of the Tenjiku conflict and explores a new timeline where the central characters have transitioned into high school. The narrative stakes are correspondingly higher. Upon hearing the full truth behind the time leaps, Manjiro Sano makes a crucial decision. After leaving the past behind, Takemichi finally reaches the ultimate future where his beloved Hinata is alive. However, "he" is nowhere to be found. In the era of the "Three Titans," where three teams battle for dominance, the final revenge begins.
The production's technical team reflects both continuity and expansion. Airi Tsuyuki and Kae Takakura join previous character designers Keiko Ota and Kenichi Onuki, with Tsuyuki and Takakura having served as animation directors in earlier seasons. Hiroaki Tsutsumi returns to compose the music, maintaining the musical style established in prior seasons. Yoshitomo Hara and Hideki Fukushima serve as bike and prop designers, while Koji Ietaka handles compositing direction of photography, with LIDEN FILMS managing 3D CG work.
The series will premiere on MBS, TBS, and CBC on October 2 at 25:53, effectively October 3 at 1:53 a.m., and will also run on BS-TBS and AT-X.
The broader arc of the franchise stretches back to Wakui's source material. The Tokyo Revengers manga ran in Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine from March 2017 to November 2022 and is collected into 31 tankobon volumes. Weekly Shonen Magazine continues to serialize the "Tokyo Revengers Extra" spinoff manga, focused on the founders of the Tokyo Manji Gang. The anime's own timeline has been steady if episodic: the first season aired in 2021 with 24 episodes, while the second and third each ran for 13 episodes in the winter and fall 2023 anime seasons respectively.
International engagement around the new arc is already being built. Anime Expo 2026 will host a Tokyo Revengers special cast panel on July 4 featuring Yuki Shin, Yuu Hayashi, and Masaya Fukunishi. Chifuyu Matsuno voice actor Sho Karino will appear at AnimagiC 2026 in Mannheim, Germany, on August 1. Both events precede the October broadcast, serving as formal introductions to a global audience that has followed the series across platforms for five years.
What "War of the Three Titans Arc" ultimately represents is a test of whether a franchise can sustain narrative coherence through successive creative handoffs. Kodaira steps in not to reinvent the series but to deliver its conclusion on terms established long before. For a property built around the idea that the past can be revised but not erased, that tension has a certain formal logic.
