Sunrise’s Yoroi-Shinden Samurai Troopers has revealed the full music video for “Bakemon,” the ending theme performed by rock band karanoah for the anime’s second cour. The song accompanies the latest chapter of the sequel series, which premiered in Japan on July 7, 2026.
The music video was released as the anime continues its ongoing broadcast, giving fans a closer look at the track that closes each new episode.
Karanoah Expands the Collaboration Beyond the Anime
The release of the “Bakemon” music video is only one part of Karanoah’s collaboration with the franchise. The band has also announced a one-man live concert titled “Bakemon vs Bakemon,” which is scheduled to take place on September 23 at Shinjuku SAMURAI.
The choice of venue is especially meaningful because Yoroi-Shinden Samurai Troopers is set in present-day Shinjuku. By naming the concert after the song and holding it in the same district featured in the anime, the band is strengthening the connection between its music and the series’ world.
This approach suggests that the partnership goes beyond a typical anime theme song. Through the music video, live performance, and ongoing promotion, karanoah has embraced the franchise in a way that gives fans multiple ways to engage with both the music and the anime.
Why “Bakemon” Is Connecting With Fans
Theme songs have always been an important part of the Samurai Troopers franchise, helping define the tone of each story arc while leaving a lasting impression on viewers. “Bakemon” continues that tradition by combining emotionally driven lyrics with energetic rock music that reflects the anime’s themes of courage, identity, and personal growth.
The song has become more than just an ending theme. Its dedicated music video, live concert, and strong thematic ties to the anime show that Karanoah and the production team are working together to create a deeper connection between the music and the story.
For longtime fans of Ronin Warriors and newcomers discovering Yoroi-Shinden Samurai Troopers, “Bakemon” has quickly become a standout element of the sequel. As Cour 2 continues, the song is helping reinforce the emotional core of the series while introducing the franchise to a new generation of anime fans.
