It has recently been announced via the official Twitter account of the Dropkick on My Devil! franchise, or Jashin-chan Dropkick, as it is known in Japan, that the new spin-off anime, titled Dropkick on My Devil! Apocalypse Arc, will be broadcast on Tuesday, December 26, 2023, at 12:00 am JST, in BS NTV channel.
Unlike the crowdfunded project of the compiled OVAs for the fourth season of Dropkick on My Devil!, the new spin-off television special anime will be completely different. This time, the upcoming spin-off will be animated at studio Makaria, in collaboration with the town of Takamori in Kumamoto Prefecture of Japan.
The website teases the storyline of the new arc, which sets Yurine as the ruler of a Jinbocho, which was destroyed by a meteor. It is now upon Jashin-chan to “head south, guided by the stars,” which leads her to the beautiful lush town of Takamori.
Voice actors Nichika Ōmori and Aina Suzuki are expected to reprise their roles as Yurine Hanazono and Jashin-chan, respectively, in the upcoming spin-off special. Further details of the anime are expected to be posted in the website.
The story of Dropkick on My Devil!, as explained in the official website of Crunchyroll, where it is available for streaming, reveals:
"Jashin-chan looks back on the day Hanazono Yurine summoned her. So long as Yurine lives, Jashin-chan can't return to Hell. So Jashin-chan writes Yurine's name in her "Death NOT" and swears that she's finally going to land that dropkick on Yurine. Meanwhile, a former subordinate of Pekola and Poporon, Pino, shows up. Pekola is overjoyed believing God has finally sent someone to bring her home; however, in Pino's hand is a weapon..."
It has not been confirmed officially whether the new spin-off season will be available in Crunchyroll, but since the previous seasons are all part of the streaming giant's catalogue, fans hope that the upcoming Apocalypse Arc will make it to the platform in the future as well.
