Third season of Osomatsu-san.

Himiko, the reincarnated queen of ancient Yamatai, launches a war against all magatama users in Kanto to recover her former domain. She seeks to collect the genuine Three Sacred Treasures of Japan. When Himiko's associate Asaemon Yamada attacks Nanyou Academy to steal the sacred sword, Chuubou Sonken—recently revealed as Hakufu Sonsaku's sister—awakens her dragon form but then collapses. To rescue her sibling, Hakufu must retrieve her own magatama from the historic Jofuku Temple, where she faces potentially lethal training. As the boundary between the living and the dead blurs at Jofuku, the Kanto fighters must unite to thwart Himiko's mysterious plans.

Chosen by the deity Origin of the Church, Flum Apricot—a simple country girl—is recruited into the hero’s party to fight demons. But her sole innate ability, Reversal, proves useless in battle, prompting the party’s sage, Jean Inteige, to view her as a burden. He eventually sells her to a human trafficker. Locked in the trafficker’s grim dungeon, Flum sinks into despair until desperation sparks a revelation: her power can transform the negative energy from cursed weapons into strength. Using this newfound ability, she kills her captor and escapes alongside another prisoner, Milkit. Now able to defend herself, Flum sets out on an adventure to build a happy life with Milkit, free from the Church’s dark schemes.

In 1983, the village of Hinamizawa is placed under quarantine after a mysterious and lethal virus afflicts the small community. Teenager Keiichi Maebara and his friends Mion Sonozaki and Rena Ryuuguu are confused and terrified by the crisis developing around them.

Yet, as conflict escalates, the group confronts dangers from both visible and hidden enemies, and it is uncertain if everyone will survive.

This is the second season of Ushio to Tora (TV). In ancient times, a fearsome beast rampaged across the land until a samurai sealed it away using the legendary “Beast Spear.” Five centuries later, middle school student Ushio Aotsuki accidentally discovers the creature in a hidden basement beneath his family's temple. The unleashed monster and the spear draw numerous other supernatural beings to the temple, forcing Ushio to free the beast to fight them off. Naming the creature “Tora,” Ushio reluctantly partners with him to battle various spirits and demons.

In the Matsuno household live six nearly identical brothers: Osomatsu, the self-centered leader; Karamatsu, the manly one; Choromatsu, the sensible sibling; Ichimatsu, the pessimist; Juushimatsu, the energetic brother; and Todomatsu, the charmer. Though all are over 20, they remain idle and jobless, living as NEETs. On the rare occasions they manage to secure a job interview, their peculiar traits almost always result in instant rejection. As they pursue romantic relationships and try to find suitable careers, the Matsuno brothers' days are filled with unpredictable and often absurd adventures. Despite genuinely wanting to improve their social standing, that goal stays out of reach unless they can overcome the many challenges that come with being sextuplets.

Ushio Aotsuki is a stubborn middle schooler and the son of an unusual temple priest. He dismisses his father’s stories about mythical creatures called youkai, preferring a normal life. But when his father is away, Ushio has to handle the temple by himself. During his routine chores, he makes a terrifying find in the basement—a powerful youkai named Tora, held captive by the legendary Beast Spear. Tora, known for his destructive powers, tries to trick Ushio into freeing him after centuries of imprisonment. Ushio doesn’t trust his promises and refuses to let him go. However, when a sudden youkai attack threatens his friends and home, Ushio is forced to team up with Tora, using the ancient spear to keep the beast under control. This unexpected partnership starts Ushio and Tora’s journey into the dangerous world of the spirit realm. Armed with the Beast Spear, Ushio discovers the harsh reality of the supernatural world and the dangers that come with it.

However, as certain details shift, they come to a terrifying realization: they have no clue what will happen next or how to avert the oncoming disaster.
