Shinobi no Ittoki premiered with a bang and a much darker premise than it portrayed through the trailers. What looked like a fun ninja anime took a turn for the worse with an unexpected death and suspicions about a mole.
The only ones missing out on this phenomenal show are the ones waiting for the dub, but no need to worry anymore, as Crunchyroll has got you covered.
Crunchyroll has revealed that it will begin streaming English-dubbed episodes for ‘Shinobi no Ittoki’ on October 18, 2022, i.e., today.
Since it wouldn’t be a Crunchyroll dub stream announcement without revealing the cast lineup, they are as follows:
| Character | Cast | Other Works |
| Ittoki Sakuraba | Howard Wang | Louis James Moriarty (Moriarty the Patriot) |
| Kousetsu | Emily Fajardo | Tae Ohto (Wonder Egg Priority) |
| Tokisada Kaga | Ian Sinclair | Brook (One Piece) |
| Kirei Kisegawa | Katelyn Barr | Dominante Code (Black Clover) |
| Ryoko Sukuno | Macy Anne Johnson | Rumiko Chie (Higurashi: When They Cry) |
| Suzaka Ban | Nazeeh Tarsha | Grucius (That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime) |
| Yumika Sakuraba | Caitlin Glass | Winry Rockbell (Fullmetal Alchemist) |
| Kidou Minobe | Eric Vale | Future Trunks (Dragon Ball Super) |
| Kozo Moriyama | Jim Foronda | Poncho Panacotta (How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom) |
| Reiha Tsuge | Tiffany Solano | – |
| Satomi Tsubaki | Emi Lo | Kate (Shadows House) |
As expected, Crunchyroll has hired a star-studded cast for an anime that truly deserves a phenomenal dub. The dub will lag by two episodes as the premiere is on the same day the anime’s third episode goes live.
Ittoki Sakuraba’s life went from 0 to 100 in a span of one episode, and now there’s no turning back. After discovering his heritage as a ninja, Ittoki swore to protect everyone and carry out his duties as the next head of the Iga Shinobi Clan.
While Ittoki is reluctant to join his family and become a ninja at first, he agrees to lessen his mother’s burden after his father’s death. To carry out the impossible task of molding Ittoki into an exemplary leader, he is transferred to a new school for ninja training.
His childhood friend Kousetsu, and uncle Tokisada, who are also Iga ninjas, are assigned to watch over Ittoki and protect him. Given how Ittoki is not very gifted and will need to learn from scratch while being hunted down by enemy clans, this indeed is a task.
I’m looking forward to Ittoki’s character development the most, as his personality is anything but that of a leader. The only leadership quality he does have is putting others before himself and sacrificing for the sake of his loved ones.
Let’s see if he can protect himself when the going gets tough because if not, then he is simply doomed.
