posted on by Jennifer Sherman
The fourth episode of the regular streaming program Inazuma Walker premiered on Friday and debuted a promotional video for Inazuma Eleven: Ares no Tenbin, a new game and television anime in its Inazuma Eleven franchise. The program also announced that the anime will premiere in October, though it was originally slated for summer.
The program also announced a "completely new episode 27" for Inazuma Eleven will screen at the "Inazuma Eleven Dai-Fukkatsusai" event in September. The spinoff episode will lead up to the premiere of Inazuma Eleven: Ares no Tenbin and remake the earlier anime's existing 27th episode with a diverging story. The Inazuma Eleven: Ares no Tenbin anime's first episode will also have an advance screening at the event. Additionally, the program showed the upcoming anime's pilot film that premiered in July.
The Inazuma Walker program's "Vol. 4" episode will stream until April 20. The program streams the original Inazuma Eleven Outer Code anime, offers news on the franchise, and includes discussion and a segment for viewer interaction.
The story of Inazuma Eleven: Ares no Tenbin is set after the first Inazuma Eleven, but will take place in a parallel world from all other Inazuma Eleven games apart from the first because the story has taken a different course.
The cast includes, from left to right in the image above:
- Hiroshi Kamiya as Ryōhei Haizaki
- Ayumu Murase as Asuto Inamori
- Jun Fukuyama as Yūma Nosaka
