Though Ninja Kamui finished airing on Adult Swim earlier in the year, its Japanese broadcast is currently occurring with the series’ 11th episode to air on September 10.
To celebrate the fight between Higan and Zai, character designer Takashi Okazaki drew a new visual – one Okazaki wanted to draw since 2017 when he and the director were discussing the series – depicting that clash between once-upon-a-time buddies.
Sunghoo Park directed the Ninja Kamui anime at E&H Production with character designs by Afro Samurai’s Takashi Okazaki, music by R.O.N and produced by Sola Entertainment. The series has been described as such:
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.
