The revival of Gosho Aoyama's (Detective Conan) classic manga series YAIBA as the TV anime Shin Samurai Den YAIBA begins on April 5, 2024. The production, which airs Saturdays at 5:30 PM on Japanese television, presents a revised main visual, an action-packed trailer, as well as new voice actors and music details.

Expanded cast:

- Takeharu Ōnishi as Geroda Gerozaemon (subordinate of antagonist Onimaru)

- Shuhei Sakaguchi and Kana Ichinose as mysterious Yōkai figures Kumootoko (Spider Man) and Namakootoko (Sea Cucumber Man)

- Tsuyoshi Inoue as legendary samurai Sasaki Kojirō, historical rival of Miyamoto Musashi

The rock band BLUE ENCOUNT contributes the opening song BLADE, which is featured for the first time in the trailer.

The series will premiere on April 5 at 6:30 PM (JST) on Netflix and ABEMA, followed by other platforms starting April 8.

The vertical main visual shows protagonist Yaiba Kurogane with his iconic sword against a dramatic sky, surrounded by allies and enemies. The trailer highlights dynamic sword fights, historical references, and humorous slapstick moments—typical of Aoyama's style.
