Fans of the time-travel delinquent saga 'Tokyo Revengers' can look forward to a musical highlight: Japanese boy group JO1 contributes the opening song 'IGNITE' for the fourth and final season, which goes under the title 'Three Days War' (Japanese: Santen Sensō-hen). The announcement was made on July 20, 2026, during the final concert of 'JO1DER SHOW 2026 'EIEN'' at Vantelin Dome Nagoya – an emotional moment for the nine members, who expressed their excitement about collaborating with the cult series in personal statements.
The song 'IGNITE' also serves as the lead single for JO1's eleventh single 'AAO', which will be released on November 18, 2026. Particularly noteworthy: members Kimata Shoya and Kono Junki co-wrote the lyrics of the song. Kimata emphasized that he 'rewrote the lyrics over and over again and took revenge again and again' – an allusion to the central motif of the series. Kono, in turn, explained that he wanted to 'capture Takemichi's unwavering fighting spirit' with the lines. Thus, both musicians have a particularly close connection to the plot.
Before the series starts on October 2, 2026, at 1:53 a.m. on Japanese television (MBS/TBS/CBC in the 'Animeism' block, later also on BS-TBS and AT-X), fans can get a first look at the new season as early as September. Two preview screenings are planned: on September 6, 2026, at TOHO Cinemas Roppongi Hills in Tokyo, and on September 21, 2026 (a holiday), at TOHO Cinemas Namba in Osaka. The participating voice actors and details about ticket sales will be announced at a later date.
Internationally, the fourth season – like its predecessor 'Tenjiku' – will be streamed exclusively on Disney+ (excluding mainland China). The plot picks up after the end of the conflict between Tokyo Manji and Tenjiku and leads viewers into a future where three rival gangs fight for supremacy. Protagonist Takemichi Hanagaki must once again travel to the past to change the fate of his friends and loved ones. The new arc corresponds to the final storyline of the eponymous manga by Ken Wakui, which was published from 2017 to 2022 in 'Weekly Shonen Magazine' (Kodansha).
Direction is once again handled by LIDENFILMS, with Maki Kodaira – who was previously involved in earlier seasons – taking over overall direction this time. The series script is written by Yasuyuki Muto, and the music is by Hiroaki Tsutsumi. The extensive cast includes, among others, Yuki Shin as Takemichi, Yu Hayashi as Mikey, Masaya Fukunishi as Draken, as well as numerous other voice actors already known from previous seasons.
With 'IGNITE' and the eleventh single 'AAO', JO1 once again proves its affinity for anime productions – the song promises to perfectly underscore the explosive mood of the final confrontations.
