Black Torch anime adaptation premieres on Crunchyroll

The supernatural action manga Black Torch is officially making its way to the screen.

Based on the popular manga by Tsuyoshi Takaki, the anime adaptation is set to premiere on July 4, 2026, streaming exclusively on Crunchyroll.

Jiro is a teenage ninja with a unique ability to communicate with animals.

His ordinary life takes a dramatic turn after he rescues Rago, a mysterious cat who turns out to be an immortal spirit.

When Jiro is fatally wounded, Rago fuses with him, granting him immense power and pulling him into a high-stakes war between ninjas and supernatural forces.

With an opening theme by SiM and a confirmed same-day English dub, anticipation is high following its successful world premiere at Anime Expo 2026.

This revival of a series that concluded years ago marks an exciting turning point for the industry, proving that hidden gems can find new life on television.
