Black Torch has been on an absolute roll this summer, and fans are already refreshing their calendars for the next chapter in Jiro and Rago’s story. If you’ve been keeping pace with the Bureau of Espionage’s fight against the mononoke, you’re going to want to know exactly when episode 7 lands.
The series has become one of the more reliable action-adventure watches of the Summer 2026 anime season, adapting Tsuyoshi Takaki’s manga that originally ran in Shueisha’s Jump Square and Shonen Jump+ between 2017 and 2018. VIZ Media handles the English release of the source material, and now 100studio, under director Kei Umabiki, is bringing Jiro Azuma’s shinobi lineage and his bond with the cursed cat Rago to screen.
So far, the show has kept a tight, dependable weekly schedule since it premiered on July 4, and that consistency is exactly why fans trust the countdown.
When Does Black Torch Episode 7 Release?
Black Torch episode 7 is set to release on Saturday, August 15, 2026. New episodes drop at 6:00 a.m. PT / 9:00 a.m. ET, which works out to 3:00 p.m. CEST for fans watching in France and much of Europe.
Episode 7 will be available on Crunchyroll with both English subtitles and an English dub, continuing the platform’s simulcast rollout across North America, Europe, South America, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, and beyond. In Japan, the show is also airing on Tokyo MX, Sun TV, and Aichi TV, alongside ABEMA and d Anime Store.
The season has moved briskly through Jiro’s introduction to the Bureau of Espionage, his fusion with Rago, and the mounting mononoke threats surrounding the Black Star of Doom. With six episodes already out, the story is deep enough into its groove that episode 7 should keep building on those stakes rather than resetting the table.
Official episode counts have varied slightly depending on the source, with some pointing to a 12-episode run and others estimating closer to 11, so the exact finale date is still being finalized. Either way, fans can count on new Black Torch episodes arriving every Saturday for the foreseeable future.
Black Torch episode 7 premieres Saturday, August 15, on Crunchyroll.
