A television anime of Tenkaichi: The Greatest Warrior Under the Rising Sun has revealed a teaser video, its main cast and its staff, along with an April 2027 debut. Gen Sato, Kenichiro Matsuda and Kenyu Horiuchi are among the cast named. The announcement is reported by Anime News Network. The series is in our index, filed under the romanised title Tenkaichi: Nihon Saikyou Bugeisha Ketteisen. We record no English title for it.
What the record actually contains
We record the format as TV and the status as not yet released. We record two genres, Action and Fantasy. We record none of the following:
- episode count, episode length, season and year
- score and studio
It carries no rows of any kind in our episode index. Its page on animesphere.app was fetched today and states no free episode.
Five hundred and sixty-five entries in the same position
Our index records 20,497 anime entries. Of those, 565 carry the status not yet released, meaning announced but not yet airing, and this series is one of the 565. What the group holds instead of episodes is metadata:
- 258 have a trailer recorded, and 443 carry a synopsis
- 113 carry a year, and 121 carry an episode count
All 565 of those pages were fetched from animesphere.app today. 565 of 565 returned successfully and none failed to load. Not one of them states a free episode, and not one carries a single row in our episode index, demoted rows included. That is the census as it stands today.
One run that is complete in our index
Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL II is a television series of 73 episodes in our index, with a recorded episode length of 23 minutes. All 73 are free here. Its page states today: "Watch 73 episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL II free and legal on AnimeSphere".
Every one of the 73 rows sits on a single channel, Official Yu-Gi-Oh! (@yugioh), which was checked today and carries a YouTube verified badge. All 73 were opened today. 73 resolved, none failed to fetch, and they returned 73 distinct video identities, with no duplicate identities, no case of one video filed against two episodes, and no case of a video shared with another series. Five of the 73 watch pages each report an automatic English caption track, which means the audio is English. Four of those five were measured at 1,272, 1,230, 1,248 and 1,349 seconds against the recorded 23 minutes, so they are full episodes rather than clips. The country list on all 73 rows is unrestricted.
One caution on the uploads: they are numbered continuously from the previous series, so the numbering shown on the channel does not line up with the numbering in our index. Take the count rather than the labels. The free set covers every episode our index records for the series.
