The upcoming fourth episode of Tougen Anki is set to release on Friday, August 1, 2025, at 11:00 pm JST. Fans in Japan can catch it first on Nippon TV before it becomes available on other networks and streaming platforms. International viewers can look forward to its release across a wide range of global services, making it one of the most accessible anime titles of the year.
Episode 3 was packed with action and emotional twists. Naito Mudano split the class into three groups, setting the stage for a test of teamwork. Shiki was placed alongside Jin Kougasaki and Homare Byoubugaura, and what started as a game of tag quickly turned chaotic. Tension rose when Shiki and Jin clashed mid-mission, with Shiki still struggling to unlock his Blood Eclipse Release. The turning point came when Homare, in a moment of panic and regret, manifested a powerful release form that resembled her older sister. The situation escalated further when she asked the others to flee. But instead of backing down, both Shiki and Jin chose to stand and fight.
That battle proved to be more than just a physical clash. It served as a breakthrough moment for Shiki, who finally managed to activate his Blood Eclipse Release. With that power, he launched a devastating attack that seemingly blew away Homare’s manifestation. It was a defining sequence, pushing the boundaries of the anime’s energy system and giving viewers their first true look at what Blood Eclipse Release can become.
Episode 4 is titled “Work With Me,” hinting that the aftermath of this chaotic confrontation will lead to an unexpected alliance between Shiki and Jin. Whether or not Homare’s release has been truly defeated remains to be seen. The coming episode could focus on the trio joining forces to complete their mission, deepening their dynamic and highlighting the strengths they bring to one another. Given how volatile the chemistry between Shiki and Jin has been, any sort of cooperation will likely come with friction, laughter, and more powerful showdowns.
As far as availability goes, Japanese audiences can stream the episode on Hulu, Netflix, Disney Plus, Prime Video, ABEMA, and several other platforms. For fans outside Japan, the series is licensed by REMOW and is being distributed globally via Crunchyroll, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Anime Onegai, Samsung TV Plus, Bandplay, and more. The sheer number of platforms streaming Tougen Anki speaks volumes about the show's growing popularity and widespread reach.
The tone of the anime has been a balance of sharp visual action, emotional tension, and character-driven storytelling. Episode 4 promises to carry that momentum forward by blending battle sequences with relationship growth, especially between key characters like Shiki and Jin.
With the power system now revealed and new alliances forming, Tougen Anki is shaping up to be one of the most promising titles of the season. All eyes are now on what happens when power, personality, and purpose collide.
