The popular dragon-battling anime Ragna Crimson returns to television and streaming screens in Japan this month, kicking off its second cour (or season). A new preview and a sneak peek at a special manga exclusive included with an upcoming Blu-ray release were unveiled by King Amusement Creative over the winter holiday break.
The latest trailer sneak peeks the next stage of young hero Ragna’s mission to hunt down the dragons terrorizing humanity — especially their nefarious former king, Crimson. Separated from his dearest friend Leonica and united with the charismatic leader of the Silver Corps warriors, Starlia Reese, Ragna prepares to apply his remarkable powers to the opening battle of a seemingly hopeless war against the Winged Blood Clan.
The show’s “Human Dragon War” arc premieres Saturday, January 13 across multiple broadcasters and streamers, details below.
In addition to the new trailer, details of the new, original manga from Ragna Crimson creator Daiki Kobayashi included in the booklet boxed with the upcoming Limited Edition Blu-ray set (released in Japan on February 21) have been revealed for the first time. According to Kobayashi, the battle between the Silver Corps and the Winged Bloodline dragons will spotlight Dornea, the ninth-ranked member of clan. The manga creator also produced an original illustration to be used as the box cover artwork., featuring Starlia, Garm, Christopher, Hesela and Glare.
Details of the Blu-ray release (in Japanese) can be found here.
