What is the Nikko Kegon Falls arc about?
Tougen Anki builds a world where the descendants of the Oni and Momotaro keep fighting in modern times. Central character Shiki Ichinose discovers he carries Oni blood after a family incident, then enrolls at Rasetsu Academy to control his power and understand the war that has dragged him into a whirlpool of violence.
In the new arc, Kegon Falls ceasing to flow is not just background. It draws Shiki's group to a research facility built near the Nikko scenic area, raising questions about experiments involving the Oni. The focus therefore shifts from school-level clashes to a larger-scale investigation mission, while continuing to test how Shiki sees the line between "hero" and "demon."
What to look forward to
Tougen Anki's appeal lies in flipping the familiar Momotaro legend: the side bearing the name of demon slayers doesn't automatically represent justice, and the Oni aren't boxed in as villains either. Nikko and Kegon Falls are real places, which makes the new part feel more concrete for its fantasy conflict. Still, viewers should separate official promotional information from speculation about the season's length; the current schedule only confirms the start date and the broadcast setup.
What should you rewatch before season 2?
Newcomers should grasp three points: the origin of Shiki's Oni blood, the role of Rasetsu Academy and the feud between the Oni and Momotaro organizations. If you followed the previous part, you only need to refresh Shiki's relationships with his classmates and the choices that led Yaoroshi to leave the academy. This article will be updated when the team announces the episode count or a more detailed international schedule.
