What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Black Torch opens inside a world of inherited discipline: Jiro Azuma carries a ninja lineage into his daily life, trained by his grandfather in shinobi arts that demand precision and physical rigor. That grounded craft gives the action sequences a specific texture, rooted in technique rather than raw power fantasy.

The pivot arrives through an injured black cat named Rago, and the encounter is treated with genuine plot weight rather than as a mascot moment. Jiro's ability to communicate with animals stops being a background quirk once Rago enters the picture; it becomes the mechanism that pulls his carefully structured world into something stranger and harder to control. The series builds momentum from that collision, letting the supernatural escalate against a foundation of real martial discipline.

Strongest Match

Tomb Raider King

Fuji TV • Jul 8, 2026

AdventureAnime

Mysterious tombs appeared all over the world one day, each containing a relic which grants its owner supernatural abilities. Jooheon Suh is a tomb explorer, excavator, and raider. Betrayed by his employer, he's about to die at the hands of a powerful new relic when he suddenly finds himself 15 years in the past, before any relics or tombs made their debut. Driven by feelings of revenge, how will Jooheon use his knowledge of the future to become the Tomb Raider King?

Why this pick

Tomb Raider King shares Black Torch’s shonen energy, where skill and timing matter as much as raw power. The revenge-fueled second-chance setup keeps tension tight during big-city relic hunts and monster-stakes chases, and the pacing stays propulsive, darker and more urban than Black Torch’s forest-to-supernatural pivot.

Let's Go Kaikigumi

TBS • Jul 5, 2026

Why this pick

Let’s Go Kaikigumi fits Black Torch’s supernatural action with a lighter, joke-forward edge. Creature hunts deliver quick scares and triumphant payoffs, echoing Black Torch’s animal magic hook, but the humor stays closer to the surface while the danger lands in shorter, punchier bursts.
