On July 7, 2026, the second season of the new anime series "Yoroi Shinden Samurai Troopers" began—a direct sequel to the 1988 classic "Yoroiden Samurai Troopers." With the start of the second course, a new character enters the scene: Narumi Kaede, who is appointed as the new commander of the DST (Defense Special Taskforce) following Nasty's departure. Her voice is provided by Hina Suguta, who makes her debut in the series with this role. The actress expressed her excitement in a statement: "Being able to step in as the DST commander for the second season fills me with joy and a good amount of tension given the history of this work. I hope viewers will appreciate both the dutiful and the girlish sides of Kaede."
In parallel, the production team released the non-credit versions of the second season's opening and ending. The opening theme "BAD-Gen" is by the band Dannie May, while the ending song "Bakemon" is contributed by Karanoah. Both songs have been digitally available on all major music streaming platforms since July 8, 2026. The opening shows the Samurai Troopers in various outfits—from suits to happi coats to maid costumes—creating a colorful, school festival-like atmosphere. The ending, on the other hand, is in black and white and captures the melancholic gazes of the new and old Samurai Troopers.
Fans can also look forward to the upcoming Blu-ray boxes: Volume 3 (episodes 13–18) will be released on October 28, 2026, followed by Volume 4 (episodes 19–24) on November 25, 2026. The first pressing includes a newly drawn slipcase illustration by lead character designer Yuhei Murota. The digipack of Volume 3 features an illustration by Yun Kouga, while Volume 4 features one by Tsukasa Kotobuki. As a purchase bonus, clear cards with the same motifs are included, among other items.
The series "Yoroi Shinden Samurai Troopers" is the first new TV anime sequel in about 37 years and is produced by Sunrise. The director is Yoichi Fujita (known for "Gintama" and "Mr. Osomatsu"), with Shogo Muto handling series composition and screenplay. The second season is broadcast on Tokyo MX, Kansai TV, BS11, as well as streaming services like Crunchyroll.
With the introduction of Narumi Kaede, the DST gains a new leader who is strict with the Samurai Troopers but shows a weakness for Ryo Sanada. At the same time, the human forms of Ramaga (voiced by Katsuyuki Konishi) and Ryusei Oda (Toshiyuki Morikawa) in the clothing of the Heavenly Ladder Organization (Tendokai) have also been revealed. The second season promises to further spin the story of the three worlds—the human world, the Yōja realm, and the Tendokai.
