Second Mononoke Movie Gets New Trailer Ahead of Release

Director Kenji Nakamura delivers a colorful, mesmerizing, and at times unsettling mystery set within the splendid confines of the Ōoku.

The movie is set to debut on March 14 in Japan, and a brand-new trailer was released – it previews the theme song, “Hana Musou”, by Aina the End. The film will drop on Netflix later. Check it out:

When Is Mononoke: Ashes of Rage Coming to Netflix?

While Netflix hasn’t officially announced a release date for this movie, it is possible to try to estimate when it will be released on the service based on the first movie.

Mononoke the Movie: Phantom in the Rain premiered in Japanese theaters on July 26, 2024, but it only debuted globally on Netflix on November 28, 2024 – four months later. If this movie follows the same pattern, it should drop on Netflix in July 2026.

A third movie is set to be released in Japan, but the date remains to be announced.

Is It OK to Watch the Movies Without Checking the Series?

You can watch them without having watched the TV series because they are independent works, despite being set in the same world. However, for a better experience, we recommend watching the TV series first (but you can watch it later too).
