The popular webtoon series "Tempal – The Power of Items" (Japanese: テムパル～アイテムの力～) by REDICE STUDIO will be broadcast as a TV anime in October 2026. This was announced at the official press event. The story is set in the virtual reality of the online game SATISFY, which has around two billion active players worldwide. The protagonist Nagamine Takumi, also known as Greed, a debt-ridden and directionless blacksmith, accidentally obtains the legendary book "Fagma no Kisho" and changes his job to the mythical blacksmith. Using the power of handcrafted items, he fights his way from the very bottom to the top of the player rankings—a fantasy action story full of cunning, perseverance, and human depth.
The anime adaptation will be produced by J.C.STAFF, a studio known for its work on "Sword Art Online Progressive" and many other hits. The director is Ayako Kohno, who previously directed "Sword Art Online Progressive." The screenplay is written by Kenta Inohara ("Yōjo Senki"), and the character design is by Ryōsuke Tanigawa ("Maō 2099"). The music is composed by Yoshimasa Fujisawa and will be produced by Pony Canyon.
The first main cast members have also been announced: Ryūmaru Tachibana voices the role of Greed, and Asami Seto lends her voice to the mysterious Yura. Both actors, as well as the original studio REDICE, contributed comments full of anticipation for the animated adaptation.
Alongside the announcement, a teaser trailer and teaser visual were released, hinting at the hero's journey from the "weakest" to the "strongest." The official website and social media channels (X, TikTok, Instagram) are now online as well. The original work "Tempal – The Power of Items" was first published on the Piccoma platform and has collected over 81.89 million hearts (likes) as of May 2026. Additionally, the series won the Piccoma Award in 2023, based on data from 19 million users.
Fans can look forward to a lavishly animated adaptation starting in October 2026, bringing the story of the blacksmith's rise to the world of moving images.
