Suikoden: The Anime Third Trailer Confirms October 3 Premiere, Ending Theme and Full Cast

Suikoden: The Anime has a confirmed October 3 premiere date, an ending theme, and a rounded-out voice cast, following the release of its third promotional video. The trailer previews the anime’s opening theme, reveals its ending theme for the first time, and reconfirms the broadcast plan across dozens of Japanese stations.

What the third PV confirms

The video previews the opening theme, “Kanashimi Sae Otonabite” (“Even in Sadness I’ll Look Like an Adult”) by amazarashi, and reveals the ending theme for the first time: “closed eye sun,” performed by Koji Nakamura featuring Honoka Takahashi. The trailer also reconfirms the broadcast start: October 3, 2026, beginning on Tokyo MX, Kansai Television and BS Asahi, then rolling out across 32 stations nationwide.

Episode 1 is a one-hour special

Per Gematsu’s original March 2026 reporting on the anime’s announcement, the first episode was confirmed as a one-hour special rather than a standard-length premiere — a detail the new PV’s broadcast-plan framing is consistent with, though the third trailer’s own focus is on theme songs and the October 3 date rather than restating episode length.

The voice cast is now filled out

The anime’s cast has expanded to include Toshiki Kumagai as Riou, Ayumi Hinohara as Nanami, Simba Tsuchiya as Jowy Atreides, Akihiro Mine as Rowd, Tsukino Chikasada as Pilika, Ayumu Murase as Luc, Takeo Otsuka as Shu, Yoshino Aoyama as Apple, Masato Niwa as Mukumuku, Taku Yashiro as Luca Blight, Chika Anzai as Jillia Blight, Jun Kasama as Culgan, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Seed, Megumi Han as Leknaat, Shota Hayama as Gengen, Ryunosuke Watanuki as Rikimaru, Saaya Hitomi as Rina, Mizutama Umino as Eilie, Yusuke Sasaki as Bolgan, Hitoshi Yamanoi as Agares Blight, Miyuki Sawashiro as Anabelle, and Hiroki Sakai as Jess.

What the anime adapts

Suikoden: The Anime adapts Suikoden II, the 1998 turn-based RPG from Konami Digital Entertainment. The game follows a young hero and his friend Jowy, members of the Unicorn Youth Brigade, whose fragile truce between the Highland Kingdom and the City-States of Jowston collapses back into war. KONAMI animation — the publisher’s in-house animation studio — is producing, with Yuzo Sato directing.

What’s still unconfirmed

Nothing in the third PV or Anime Corner’s reporting states international streaming or distribution plans. Treat the confirmed broadcast rollout as Japan-only until a platform officially announces worldwide availability — the 32-station domestic rollout is not evidence of a Crunchyroll, Prime Video or other international release.
