As BLACK TORCH enters its fifth episode, the series deepens its plot around Rahaku's contested power.
Episode 5, titled "Young Gunz," airs August 1 at 22:00 on TOKYO MX and affiliated stations. The episode features a new yokai named Kaiga seeking to obtain Rahaku in an underground chamber housing a sealed killing stone. Combat ensues while government agents work to breach Kaiga's barrier from outside.
The anime continues streaming simultaneously on ABEMA, dアニメストア, U-NEXT, and Anime Times. Some regional broadcasts may shift timeslots; RKB Mainichi Broadcasting noted potential delays of up to 120 minutes due to volleyball competition coverage.
AniHeat's take: Worth noting for viewers following the series — the episode introduces a new antagonist seeking Rahaku while government agents intervene in the conflict.
