The Vermilion Mask anime has revealed the synopsis and title for Episode 5, which will stream on Crunchyroll on Saturday, November 7, 2026. Titled “The Mask of Telepathy,” the upcoming episode will follow Peru and his companions as they prepare to rescue Tina, the daughter of Moreno. Their plan takes shape while the group spends the night at the apartment of Gianni, a Garofano debt collector known to Mok.
The new episode will also explore Peru’s growing trust in Mok. After gradually opening up to his companion, Peru makes a major confession about the deaths of Gaston and his disciples. However, the rescue mission takes an unexpected turn when Peru encounters Clown inside a museum. The character wants Peru to join him, potentially creating another challenge for the young mask maker as he continues his journey.
The Vermilion Mask Episode 5 Focuses on Tina’s Rescue
According to the newly released synopsis, Peru proposes using the Mask of Disguise to help free Tina. The mask has the ability to transform its wearer, along with anything they touch, into whatever form they imagine.
This ability could give the group an advantage during the rescue operation. However, Peru’s confession adds a more personal development to the episode, revealing the guilt he continues to carry over his past actions.
The encounter with Clown at the museum introduces another potential conflict. His invitation could put Peru’s determination to destroy Gaston’s masks to the test.
Taihi Kimura voices Peru d’Arrest, while Yuuki Yamamoto plays Sonarue Maywood and Kazuki Ura voices Mok Sharib. The supporting cast includes Junya Enoki as Zent, Kazuhiko Inoue as Gaston, Akio Otsuka as the Mask of the Warrior God, and Yuki Shin as Clown.
Tetsuaki Watanabe directs the anime, with Gai Hazako serving as assistant director. Daisuke Ohigashi handles series composition, while One Double-O studio is credited for animation production.
MAN WITH A MISSION performs the opening theme, “Firestarter,” and yutori performs the ending theme, “Koe.”
The anime adapts the manga by Nabana Naba, based on the original work by Dr. Poro. Published in Shonen Gahosha’s Young King OURs, the manga currently has nine volumes available.
