The second promotional video for the third season of the anime remake of "Ranma 1/2" has been released. The video, which appeared on YouTube on June 19, 2026, not only shows new scenes but also introduces characters making their debut in the upcoming season for the first time.
The video begins with Akane Tendo saying, "Excuse me, Ryoga-kun..." and then leads into an intense confrontation between Ranma and Ryoga. The focus is on Ryoga's newly learned secret technique "Bakusai Tenketsu" (Explosive Pressure Point), which he uses against Ranma. The visually stunning animation by Studio MAPPA underscores the drama of the duel.
As the trailer progresses, several new characters are introduced, whose voices are heard for the first time. Details about the characters and their voice actors are to be announced at a later date.
The third season starts in October 2026 on Japanese television on Nippon TV and will be available worldwide exclusively on Netflix shortly after broadcast. The first two seasons of the remake of Rumiko Takahashi's cult manga also aired on Nippon TV and Netflix in 2024 and 2025.
On the occasion of the trailer's release, a live broadcast for MAPPA's 15th anniversary took place on the same day, during which the voice actors of Ranma (Kappei Yamaguchi), Akane (Noriko Hidaka), and Ryoga (Koichi Yamadera) spoke about the new season. The recording is available on MAPPA's official YouTube channel.
The series is based on Rumiko Takahashi's manga, which was published in "Weekly Shonen Sunday" from 1987 to 1996. The original anime adaptation aired from 1989 to 1992. The new version, produced by MAPPA under the direction of Konosuke Uda, continues the story as a completely new anime adaptation.
The full staff and cast remain true to the previous seasons: the script is by Kimiko Ueno, the character design by Hiromi Taniguchi, and the music is composed by Kaoru Wada. Other voice actors include Megumi Hayashibara as Ranma (female form), Minami Takayama as Nabiki Tendo, Kikuko Inoue as Kasumi Tendo, Akio Otsuka as Soun Tendo, Cho as Genma Saotome, Rei Sakuma as Shampoo, and many more.
The third season promises to continue the story of the cursed fighters and their turbulent love relationships and is likely to delight both long-time fans and new viewers.
