Netflix Unveils New 'BAKI-DOU' Anime and First Look at 'BEASTARS FINAL SEASON' Part2 at 10th Anniversary Event in Japan

Netflix's 10th anniversary celebration in Japan is underway in Shibuya, and as part of the festivities, we're excited to unveil major news for anime fans: the new BAKI-DOU series will stream exclusively on the platform in 2026, while BEASTARS FINAL SEASON Part 2 debuts first-look images teasing a dramatic climax, also set to premiere next year.

The announcements were made during a special talk show featuring a dream collaboration between Keisuke Itagaki, creator of the BAKI manga series, and Paru Itagaki, creator of BEASTARS. This event, part of our ongoing anniversary celebration running from today through September 14, gave fans a unique chance to experience the worlds of some of Netflix's most popular Japanese shows.

BAKI-DOU: The Legendary Miyamoto Musashi Arrives

Following his legendary father-son battle against Yujiro Hanma, Baki faces a new threat: the resurrection of Japan's greatest swordsman, Miyamoto Musashi. As warriors like Doppo Orochi, Jack Hanma, and Kaoru Hanayama return to the fight, the stage is set for an unprecedented clash - the strongest underground fighter vs. the legendary samurai, in a cross-era showdown.

A teaser trailer and key art have been released, offering fans a first glimpse at the next evolution of the global hit franchise that has already surpassed 100 million manga copies in circulation and continues to build a passionate audience worldwide.

BEASTARS Final Season Part2: First Look at the Shocking Climax

In the newly revealed stills, Legoshi (voiced by Chikahiro Kobayashi) is shown with a calm yet determined expression, joined by key characters central to the finale:

Haru, Legoshi's first love

Louis, the senior who, despite everything, continues to watch over Legoshi

Juno, the drama club junior who once had feelings for Legoshi and now admires Louis

Pina, a popular drama club member who often teases Legoshi with playful banter

Melon, the ruthless underworld criminal threatening Legoshi and his friends

All are depicted with grave expressions, heightening anticipation for a shocking climax as the story builds toward its conclusion.

Director Shinichi Matsumi, who has led the series since Season 1, shares his thoughts on the finale: "As fangs and horns clash, friendship, love, and pride - everything will be put to the test in this intense climax. What does it mean to live beyond the boundaries of species? Is love a source of strength, or of weakness? The finale of this work is not only their story, but also a question posed to the world we live in. Please watch until the very end."

The beloved coming-of-age anime set in a world of animals reaches its powerful conclusion soon.

Celebrating 10 Years of Japanese Storytelling on Netflix

Since its launch in Japan in September 2015, Netflix has become a powerhouse for Japanese productions, with anime now the second most-watched globally after English-language content. This anniversary event not only celebrates a decade of creativity and innovation, but also highlights Netflix's ongoing commitment to sharing Japanese stories that captivate, move, and thrill audiences around the world.
