Possibly DeMarco’s last hurrah as an anime producer.

You mean besides two more seasons of Ninja Kamui?

Also they’re showing the first dubbed ep in October? I guess an early 2026 launch is feasible.

Or November. Dragon Ball Daima has 12 episodes left to go. At its current pace uninterrupted of an episode a week, that's 3 remaining in August (9-11), 4 in September (12-15), 4 in October (16-19), and 1 left in November (20, the finale), on November 1st. So that means we could get Rooster Fighter on the block as soon as November 8th.

While a November premiere for Rooster Fighter would be impressive, let's not forget that they planned for a Spring 2026 release for this show.

I didn't, and I brought it up.

They confirmed Spring 2026 which would be April-June for the anime Spring season but did they confirm April specifically?

This sounds...promising? I'm absolutely down for it if it leans hard into the Chicken Boo angle.

[Mr. Idea Box]

Honestly, if this truly is Toonami's last original anime, then at least they're going out with a parody of an action show. Just like how Williams Street first began, in a sense.
