Tokyo Revengers' New Arc Gets JO1 Opening, Fresh Director

The War of the Three Titans arc of Tokyo Revengers is arriving October 2, 2023, with a new opening theme—"IGNITE" by boy band JO1—and a directorial shift that signals the anime's next chapter.

Maki Kodaira takes over as director at LIDEN FILMS, replacing Kōichi Hatsumi. The cast expands with Mariya Ise, Naoyuki Shimozuru, Shinnosuke Tachibana, Takanori Hoshino, and Hiroki Yasumoto joining the lineup.

The arc will air on MBS, TBS, and CBC, with worldwide streaming on Disney+ (China excluded). A new director and fresh vocal talent on the theme track suggest the production is treating this arc as a genuine turning point—not just another season, but a recalibration. Whether that translates to the narrative stakes matching the personnel shuffle remains to be seen when it airs.
