Digimon Beatbreak Enters New 'Kyo-hen' Story Arc on July 12

The TV anime Digimon Beatbreak will begin a new story arc, 'Kyo-hen', on July 12. A new key visual and character details were released alongside the announcement.

The visual shows the back of protagonist Sawaki Kyo and his partner Murasamemon. It also introduces a new character, Kuroshio Soji, who is described as a former member of the Gogyosei and is fixated on Kyo for an unspecified reason. Veteran voice actor Shinichiro Miki will voice Soji.

K-pop group KISS OF LIFE provides the new ending theme song, 'BREAK IT'. A non-credit version of the ending movie is now available on the official Digimon YouTube channel. The song is available on global streaming platforms.

An in-person screening event for the new arc is scheduled for August 8 at T-Joy Seibu Oizumi in Tokyo. The event will feature a talk show with voice actors Yohei Azakami (Kyo) and Daiki Hamano (Murasamemon), along with series director Hiroaki Miyamoto. Attendees will receive exclusive merchandise, including a cassette tape of the song 'Edge of Limit'.

Digimon Beatbreak is the first new TV anime series in the franchise in approximately two years. The series airs on Fuji TV and other networks in Japan on Sunday mornings.
