On March 22, 2025, during the AnimeJapan 2025 event, it was officially announced that the "Rurouni Kenshin" anime series will receive a third season. This news comes on the heels of the second season's conclusion, which adapted the "Kyoto Arc" and aired from October 2024 to March 2025.
The "Rurouni Kenshin" anime is a modern reimagining of Nobuhiro Watsuki's classic manga, which chronicles the journey of Himura Kenshin, a former assassin seeking redemption during Japan's Meiji era. The first season, covering the "Tokyo Arc," aired from July to December 2023, followed by the second season's "Kyoto Arc" adaptation.
While specific details about the third season's storyline have yet to be disclosed, it is anticipated to continue faithfully adapting the original manga, potentially covering arcs beyond the "Kyoto Arc." As of now, no official release date has been announced. However, considering the previous release patterns—Season 1 in 2023 and Season 2 in 2024—a 2026 release for Season 3 seems plausible, though this remains speculative until confirmed by official sources.
The production team for the third season has not been officially confirmed. The first season was directed by Hideyo Yamamoto, with character designs supervised by Terumi Nishii and original author Nobuhiro Watsuki. For the second season, Yuki Komada took over as director, with Kazuo Watanabe joining Nishii for character design duties. It remains to be seen whether these roles will continue or see further changes in the upcoming season.
Fans of the series can look forward to more updates as production progresses, with expectations high for a continuation that maintains the quality and faithfulness to the source material demonstrated in the previous seasons.
