Sengoku Youko Episode 24 Release Postponed by One Week

On September 25, 2024, Sengoku Youko announced a delay for episode 24 (season 2, episode 11). Originally scheduled to air on October 2, the episode will now be released on October 9, 2024. The specific reasons for this delay have not been disclosed, but it may relate to the upcoming premiere of Re:Zero‘s new season.

This anime series is adapted from the manga by Mizukami Satoshi. The first anime adaptation premiered in January 2024, followed by a sequel in July 2024. The animation for the series is being handled by the renowned studio White Fox.

Sengoku Youko Episode 24 Delayed Until October 9, 2024

The much-anticipated Sengoku Youko season 2 episode 11 (episode 24) was initially set for release on October 2, 2024, but has been postponed by one week to October 9, 2024. While the production team has not provided a specific reason for the delay, it could potentially be due to the premiere of Re:Zero season 3.

The third season of Re:Zero will launch with a 90-minute episode on October 2, 2024. Since both Sengoku Youko and Re:Zero air on the Japanese broadcasting network Tokyo MX, this scheduling conflict may have prompted the delay of the latter’s episode 24.

You can stream Sengoku Youko on Crunchyroll, one of the most popular anime streaming platforms. The series is animated by White Fox, a prominent studio known for its work on Re:Zero, Goblin Slayer, Steins;Gate, and other notable titles.

The main voice cast for the sequel features Ryouhei Kimura as Shinsuke Hyoudou (renowned for his role as Hideki Hinata in Angel Beats), Hiroki Nanami as Senya (known for playing Hibari in Makeine), and Maaya Uchida as Tsukiko (famous for her role as Rikka Takahashi in Love, Chunibyou and Other Delusions).

Key staff members for the anime include Evan Call, the music composer known for Violet Evergarden, Kagetsu Aizawa as director (storyboard director for Eighty-Six Part 2), and Miyuki Satou, who serves as the color designer (from Goblin Slayer).

The anime is a Shounen series set in a fantasy world where a magical species known as Katawara coexists peacefully with humans. However, this harmony is disrupted by monks attempting to create human-Katawara hybrids for their own benefit.

The prequel of Sengoku Youko followed characters Shinsuke, Jinka, Shakuyaku, and Tama as they battled against the monks. It concluded with Senya joining the protagonist’s team to fight against the monks in the sequel, titled The Thousand Demons Chaos Arc.
