The Vermilion Mask Episode 6 will stream on Crunchyroll on Saturday, November 14, 2026. Titled “The Shadow of the Snowdrop,” the upcoming episode takes Peru, Sona, and Mok to Iris, the hometown of the series’ protagonist. Their arrival coincides with a festival celebrating the birthday of Gaston, one of the world’s three great mask makers and Peru’s former master.
The new episode will explore Peru’s memories of his time at Gaston’s Workshop, offering viewers a closer look at the people and experiences that shaped his past. The official synopsis highlights several familiar faces from those days, including Akane, who worked at a local coffeehouse, and Peru’s former companions Zent, Tanan, and Kanna.
These memories carry particular significance for Peru, who has spent much of his journey confronting the consequences of his past actions. Episode 6 is expected to revisit an important chapter in his life as his search for redemption continues.
The Vermilion Mask Episode 6 Focuses on Peru’s Memories of Gaston
According to the official synopsis, Peru, Sona, and Mok reach Iris while the town celebrates Gaston’s birthday. The occasion prompts Peru to remember his earlier life at the legendary mask maker’s workshop.
His recollections include his adventures with Zent, Tanan, and Kanna, his interactions with Akane, and the moments when Gaston reprimanded him. Although Peru has not revisited these memories in a long time, they remain deeply precious to him.
The episode’s focus on Gaston is particularly important given the tragedy that drives the anime’s central story. Peru was once controlled by the Mask of the Warrior God, which led him to unintentionally kill his friends and master. He subsequently vowed to destroy Gaston’s masks scattered across the world to prevent another tragedy.
