Jiro Azuma and Rago’s fight against the mononoke has fans hooked three weeks in, and episode 4 is closing in fast. If you have been counting down the days since episode 3 dropped, here is exactly when to set your alarm.
Black Torch kicked off its run on July 4, 2026, adapting Tsuyoshi Takaki’s manga about a shinobi descendant who can talk to animals and ends up bonded to a cat that turns out to be the legendary Black Star of Doom. The series has kept a tight weekly release schedule since premiere, and with 12 episodes total confirmed for this cour, fans know there is a long road of mononoke battles still ahead.
That consistency has made Black Torch easy to plan around, but the exact hour of release still shifts depending on where you live, which is where things get confusing fast.
