Release date and time, where to watch
Chained Soldier episode 4 will air on local Japanese networks at 11 pm JST on Thursday, January 25, 2024. For a minority of international fans, this translates to an early Friday morning local release window.
Most international fans, though, will see the episode become available sometime during the day or evening on Thursday, like Japanese fans. The exact time of release varies by region and time zone.
International audiences can stream the episode on HIDIVE roughly one hour after the episode begins airing in Japan. With Crunchyroll seemingly not hosting the series given the lack of its presence in the platform’s Winter 2024 schedule, HIDIVE appears to be the only legitimate way of streaming the series internationally.
Chained Soldier episode 4 is set to air in Japan at the following times in the corresponding time zones:
Episode 3 recap
Chained Soldier episode 3 began with Kyouka Uzen and Yuuki Wakura trying to enjoy a day off in Japan.
Kyouka brought Yuuki to the gravesite of her fellow villagers, who she explained were massacred by a Shuuki known as the Unihorn when she was younger. She emphasized that she needs him to be ready when the time comes for them to fight the Unihorn, as it’s her goal.
Shortly thereafter, the two were quickly called back to Mato for an emergency, where Nei Ookawamura, Syusyu Suruga and Himari Azuma revealed a nest of Shuuki had been found.
The 7th Squad then moved out, beginning their attack on the nest. However, the Unihorn appeared and was being ridden by a humanoid-like Shuuki woman who could talk. Kyouka and Yuuki fought the pair while Syusyu and Himari handled the nest of regular Shuuki.
The woman eventually revealed that she was looking for her brother, with Yuuki seemingly beginning to see traits of his sister in the woman. The two almost seemed to recognize each other at one point, but the battle ended shortly thereafter.
The woman, named Aoba, later confirmed that she's indeed Yuuki’s sister. The episode ended with 6th Squad commander Tenka Izumo and her second-in-command Yachiho Azuma arriving at 7th Squad dorms to speak with Kyouka.
What to expect (speculative)?
Given the appearance of Tenka and Yachiho at the end of the previous episode, Chained Soldier episode 4 will undoubtedly begin with their meeting with Kyouka.
There, she and Yuuki are likely to share details of their encounter with the humanoid Shuuki, setting up the overarching plot of the series.
Likewise, Chained Soldier episode 4 should simultaneously see Aoba, the humanoid Shuuki and her fellow humanoid Shuuki allies teasing their plans and goals.
Fans will also likely be introduced to any other humanoid Shuuki that exist and also learn of their chain of command, way of life and more.
