Originating as a stage play, we learned back in the summer of 2019 that Rusted Armors is making the leap to the anime side with a project now announced as in the works. The series has been slim on news for the longest time, doling out a couple of casting bits, some visuals for the designs, and most recently setting it for the January 2022 season. With a good bit of casting and details behind us in the last couple of months, we now have one more cast addition with Ryuji Sato coming on board to play Lucio Cortes.
The previously announced Japanese cast includes:
- Taiki Sato as Magoichi
- Toshiki Masuda as Oda Nobuinaga
- Kentarō Araki as Tsurukubi
- Takato Nagata as Hotarubi
- Yūichirō Hirata as Kurohyo
- spi as Deku
- Yūki Kamisato as Ageha
- Tsubasa Sakiyama as Hototogisu
- Ryuji Sato as Lucio Cortes

The stage plays began in 2017 with the second one launching at the time. A manga adaptation of the stage play ran previously from hagi and serialized by Monthly Comic Gene.
Check out the official site.
Property Concept: The project focuses on the relationship between the gun-toting Magoichi — who is the leader of the Saika Ikki mercenary group — and the Sengoku era warlord Oda Nobunaga.
