Prime Video Secures Global Exclusive for 'Ninja vs. Gokudo,' Unleashes Electrifying Faction Trailers Ahead of October 2025 Premiere

Get ready for an electrifying clash of shadows and street smarts! The highly anticipated anime adaptation of Shinsuke Kondō's gripping manga, Ninja vs. Gokudo (also known as Ninja to Gokudō), has officially locked in its premiere date for October 7, 2025. Fans worldwide can mark their calendars, as this thrilling series is set to make its debut on NTV's late-night programming block before launching exclusively on Amazon Prime Video for global streaming shortly after its television broadcast. This strategic dual release ensures maximum accessibility for international audiences eager to dive into its unique world.

To fuel anticipation, two dynamic, faction-themed promotional videos have been unleashed, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the series' contrasting elements. The 'Ninja Side' trailer pulsates with the high-energy opening theme, "Sweet Disaster," by the acclaimed artist MIYAVI, perfectly capturing the stealth and agility of its titular warriors. Conversely, the 'Gokudo Side' trailer immerses viewers in the gritty underworld with Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas's intense ending theme, "Until You Die Out." Both trailers masterfully highlight the anime's distinct blend of exhilarating ninja action and intricate yakuza crime drama, bringing these formidable factions vividly to life.

The stellar voice cast continues to expand, promising an exceptional performance foundation. Noteworthy additions include Kana Hanazawa as Shiki Yamaida, Hiroki Yasumoto as Uryū Yagi, Takehito Koyasu embodying Hiroki Yajima, Tomokazu Sugita as Anatomi Kurita, and Mamiko Noto lending her voice to Maya Kohara. Further production updates have also confirmed additional staff involvement, underscoring the commitment to delivering a high-quality adaptation that honors its manga roots.

Beyond the animated series, the Ninja vs. Gokudo universe is expanding with the upcoming smartphone game, Ninja to Gokudō Bukkoro Festa (Ninja vs. Gokudo Battle Festival), slated for launch this fall. This game will further deepen fan engagement and extend the franchise's reach. With its compelling premise that seamlessly weaves together the clandestine world of ninja stealth and the ruthless depths of the yakuza underworld, Ninja vs. Gokudo is poised to deliver a stylish, action-packed experience. Drawing from its mature seinen origins, it aims to captivate a broad demographic of anime viewers, solidifying the growing trend of digital platforms in bringing premium Japanese animation to a global stage.
