The anime adaptation of SSS-Class Revival Hunter (Shishite Ikiru SSS-kyuu Hunter), based on the Korean webtoon and web novel, received a new teaser trailer, additional cast announcement, and ending theme confirmation this week.
What happened?
The teaser trailer was released on October 10, 2026, confirming eight new Japanese cast members beyond Takeo Otsuka (Kim Gongja) and Satoshi Hino (Sword Emperor). The new voice actors include Toshiki Masuda as Flame Emperor, Megumi Han as Witch of the Black Dragon, Sayaka Kinoshita as Paladin, Risa Shimizu as Countess, Makoto Furukawa as Poisonous Viper, Natsumi Fujiwara as Inquisitor, Yuka Iguchi as Master Alchemist, and Shunsuke Sakuya as Blade Saint.
The ending theme will be by THE SPELLBOUND x BOOM BOOM SATELLITES. The series premieres in January 2027 on Fuji TV (+Ultra block) and will be streamed internationally by Crunchyroll. Hiroaki Sakurai directs, with production by STUDIO fu.
Why it matters
The original webtoon, launched in December 2020, already has more than 150 episodes and significant popularity. The addition of cast and new visual material advances the production of the adaptation, which follows Kim Gongja, an F-rank Hunter who acquires a skill activated by his death, allowing time regression.
This is a substantial update relative to the initial September 2026 announcement, which brought only the initial teaser, main staff, and the two protagonists.
