The news was announced at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival 2025.
The action packed original anime series Ninja Kamui from last year is definitely a controversial show. Many fans loved the beginning but didn’t like how it ended. However, it seems that the series’ production isn't stopping anytime soon. During their dedicated Studio Focus at this year’s Annecy International Animation Film Festival, Adult Swim announced that Ninja Kamui is coming back with Season 2 and Season 3.
Everything we know about Ninja Kamui Seasons 2 and 3 so far
The news of Adult Swim’s announcement has been confirmed by Variety's exclusive report. The second season and a game based on the series were previously announced. However, the news of a third season came as a shock to fans. Sola Entertainment, the production company which co-produced the anime, confirmed before that season 2 of the anime will be titled Ninja Kamui Season Two: Red Vendetta. However, we don’t know any details about the third season yet. The game, titled NINJA KAMUI: SHINOBI ORIGINS is available for fans on Steam.
Ninja Kamui won the Best Original Anime award at the 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards. It’s clear that despite its downsides, the anime has a large and dedicated fanbase. Hopefully, Sola Entertainment and Adult Swim will be able to deliver a great series from start to finish with Ninja Kamui Seasons 2 and 3. Sunghoo Park directed the original anime with Shigeru Murakoshi as series composer. Takashi Okazaki designed the characters for the project. E&H Production and Sola Entertainment produced the series together. Adult Swim describes the story of the series as:
Ninja Kamui follows Joe Higan who is a Nukenin - a former ninja who escaped his clan and is hiding from his violent past in rural America with his family. One night, he is ambushed by a team of assassins from his former organization who exact a bloody retribution on Joe and his family for betraying their ancient code. Rising from his seeming “death,” Joe will re-emerge as his former self - Ninja Kamui - to avenge his family and friends. Kamui is a 21st century ninja, a shadowy anachronism who pits his ancient skills against high-tech weaponry with brutal finesse. He must face off against trained assassins, combat cyborgs, and rival ninjas to bring down the very clan that made him.
