Crunchyroll Unveils Major Dub Initiative for Acclaimed Chinese Series Lord of Mysteries

Anticipation is high among fans of 'Lord of Mysteries' as this acclaimed Chinese animated series prepares for a significant global expansion. Crunchyroll will soon offer official dubbed versions, making this donghua sensation accessible to a wider international audience. Adapted from the immensely popular web novel by the celebrated author Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, the series is set to captivate new viewers with translations into English and six other key languages.

A collaborative effort from producer Tencent and animation studio BCMAY PICTURES, under the visionary direction of Ke Xiong, 'Lord of Mysteries' immerses viewers in a meticulously detailed Victorian-era world. Here, the hum of steam-powered machinery blends seamlessly with the chilling allure of occult mysteries and profound supernatural intrigue, creating a truly unique narrative.

As of July 2025, dedicated enthusiasts can already enjoy the first five episodes on Crunchyroll with the original Chinese audio. These episodes are accompanied by a robust selection of subtitles, including English, French, Spanish (both Latin American and Castilian variants), Brazilian Portuguese, and Hindi, among others. The excitement continues to build as Crunchyroll strategically plans a phased rollout for the highly anticipated dubbed versions. While specific release dates are yet to be announced, fans can look forward to experiencing the series in English, Spanish, Hindi, Brazilian Portuguese, and French, significantly broadening its accessibility.

The compelling narrative of 'Lord of Mysteries' originates from its successful web novel, which was serialized on Qidian from 2018 to 2022. The story invites viewers to follow the journey of protagonist Zhou Mingrui, who finds himself dramatically transmigrated into the persona of Klein Moretti. As Klein, he must skillfully navigate a perilous landscape fraught with warring occult Churches, all while progressively unlocking enigmatic powers intricately linked to the series' distinctive tarot card motif.

This strategic expansion into dubbed content underscores Crunchyroll's unwavering commitment to enriching its international catalog with premium Tencent titles. 'Lord of Mysteries' joins an esteemed roster that includes fan favorites such as 'The Master of Diabolism', 'The King’s Avatar', and 'Honor of Kings'. With its meticulously crafted fantasy realm, gripping supernatural thriller elements, and undeniably high production values, 'Lord of Mysteries' is not merely an addition but a significant force, cementing its rapidly ascending influence within the vibrant global anime and donghua markets.
