The first promotional video for Scum of the Brave has arrived, offering a glimpse into its gritty, super-powered underworld. The trailer showcases the series' core premise: bounty hunters known as Heroes wielding enhanced ether abilities, fueled by the performance-boosting drug E3, to combat 'Demon Lords' who dominate Tokyo's criminal landscape. Expect a blend of urban fantasy and organized crime as Yashiro, the 'Reaper,' navigates this dangerous profession where survival often trumps justice.
Produced by Studio OLM, known for its work on franchises like Pokémon and Yo-kai Watch, Scum of the Brave adapts the manga of the same name. The trailer hints at intense action sequences and the darker themes of the source material, including legalized killing and the potent effects of E3. The visual style appears to incorporate CGI elements, a common feature in OLM's recent productions.
Set to air 24 episodes in Winter 2026, the series is produced by Bit grooove promotion, Nippon Television Network, and Yostar. The PV suggests a fast-paced narrative focused on the brutal realities of being a Hero in a city ruled by enhanced criminals.
