A recent anime special revealed that a Ranking of Kings movie based on the popular series is underway.
Will there be a Ranking of Kings movie?
Anime News Network has reported that production on a Ranking of Kings movie has been greenlit. The anime series’ first season concluded in March 2022 and was followed by a “collection of shorts” titled Ranking of Kings: The Treasure Chest of Courage, which aired its tenth episode last week.
Ranking of Kings is based on the manga by Sōsuke Tōka that has been serialized in the magazine Manga Hack since 2017. The anime is made by WIT Studio and first debuted in 2021.
“Bojji, was born the first prince of the kingdom ruled by King Bosse, who is ranked number seven in the Ranking of Kings,” the synopsis of the series reads. “But Bojji was born unable to hear and is so powerless that he can’t even swing a sword. In consequence, not only his own retainers, but also the public, look down upon him as completely unfit to be king. It is then that Bojji finds his first friend, Kage. His fateful encounter with Kage ignites a tiny spark of courage, and their lives both take a dramatic turn.”
