Fans of popular series such as Jujutsu Kaisen and Attack on Titan were undoubtedly thrilled with the announcements made at the event. However, followers of Chainsaw Man and One Punch Man may have found themselves slightly disappointed with the lack of news related to their favorite series.

But amidst these mixed reactions, fans of Tokyo Revengers may have stumbled upon a pleasant surprise courtesy of Mappa, the renowned animation studio. During the event, Mappa unveiled an intriguing new original anime project titled “BUCCHIGIRI?!,” which immediately caught the attention of Tokyo Revengers enthusiasts due to its striking resemblances in terms of both art style and delinquent themes.

“BUCCHIGIRI?!” is an original anime series, meaning it is not adapted from any pre-existing source material, similar to another Mappa project called Takt op Destiny. The teaser for this new series exudes a similar ambiance to Tokyo Revengers but with the addition of supernatural elements, particularly demons. The plot revolves around a character named Araji Tomobishi, who becomes entangled in battles among powerful individuals after reuniting with his old friend, Mataka Asamine.
