The Vermilion Mask: Start Date, New PV, and Six Casts
MAN WITH A MISSION takes on the opening “Firestarter,” while yutori sings the ending “Koe.”
“The Vermilion Mask” premieres on Japanese television on October 10, 2026; at the same time, a second main PV, a new key visual, six additional voice actors, and the theme songs have been released. The series airs Saturdays at 5 p.m. on the Yomiuri TV and Nippon TV network and has been announced as a split two-cour production.
The new PV begins with the “Night of Tragedy,” in which Peru Darest loses control under the influence of the Mask of the God of War. Later, it shows him fighting opponents with different masks and their abilities. The animation is produced by 100studio under the direction of Tetsuaki Watanabe.
This video will only connect to YouTube once you play it.
New Voices and Theme Songs
New to the cast are Kenji Nojima as Hien, Aoi Koga as Lasgall, Yuki Shin as Crown, Akihisa Wakayama as Rinne, Aya Endo as Mask of the Dead, and Yui Horie as Master. Anime!Anime! also already names the main voice actors Taihi Kimura as Peru, Yuki Yamamoto as Sonare, and Nozomi Urawa as Moku.
The opening is titled “Firestarter” and comes from MAN WITH A MISSION. The band yutori is responsible for the ending “Koe.” Both songs can already be heard in the new PV.
For German-speaking viewers, it is also relevant that Crunchyroll has already announced a simulcast of “The Vermilion Mask.” The current Japanese report additionally names numerous local streaming services, including Prime Video, ABEMA, and U-NEXT.
The anime adapts the manga by Dr. Poro and Nabana Naba, which runs in “Young King Ours.” Peru is the apprentice of the mask maker Gaston Lou and, after the catastrophe, resolves to destroy all the masks his master created. October 10 falls in the middle of the autumn season: Kashita Maryoku and TANK CHAIR also start with new TV adaptations in early October.
