Adult Swim took the opportunity of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival to reveal various projects it’s working on, including two more seasons of the anime Ninja Kamui.
The second season will have a longer name: Ninja Kamui Season Two: Red Vendetta. This new season is supposed to be about “Higan as he uncovers a new conspiracy of cataclysmic proportions.”
In 2024 there was some confusion about a possible second season, because first an announcement was placed online and then it was afterward pulled, and then Senior Vice-President, Head of Anime and Action Series at Adult Swim Jason DeMarco publicly stated that no new season had been announced.
The reveal did not share when we might expect to see season two.
The first season was made through E&H production and Sola Entertainment, with Sunghoo Park of Jujutsu Kaisen and The God of High School fame helming the project as director. Credit for character design went to Takeshi Okazaki, known for working on Afro Samurai and Batman Ninja. The first season started on February 10, 2024.
Adult Swim gave this description of Ninja Kamui:
Ninja Kamui Plot
Ninja Kamui follows Joe Higan who is a Nukenin – a former ninja who escaped his clan and is hiding from his violent past in rural America with his family. One night, he is ambushed by a team of assassins from his former organization who exact a bloody retribution on Joe and his family for betraying their ancient code. Rising from his seeming “death,” Joe will re-emerge as his former self – Ninja Kamui – to avenge his family and friends. Kamui is a 21st century ninja, a shadowy anachronism who pits his ancient skills against high-tech weaponry with brutal finesse. He must face off against trained assassins, combat cyborgs, and rival ninjas to bring down the very clan that made him.
