Build Divide, the original anime series, shows a world where the way to the top is through skillful gameplay. (If only the real world were like that!)

Teruto Kurabe, the series’ protagonist, needs to defeat the King in Build Divide. A tournament-oriented anime begins with a pompous first reveal. Will he be able to defeat the long-standing King?

Build Divide – #000000 (Code Black), the upcoming original anime, is set to receive two cours! The first cour will premiere in October 2021, while the second cour will premiere in April 2022.

A new trailer was also revealed for the upcoming anime.

The trailer shows Teruto using one of his cards. A blue flashing light glows and a mysterious girl appears. Neither the power of the card nor his rival has been revealed in the trailer. The guy is wearing a cult-type robe with a serious look in his eyes as he uses his card.

A new visual has also been revealed.

The visual shows Teruto accompanied by the mysterious girl, Sakura Banka. The background is New Kyoto since that is where the anime is based.

Homura Kawamoto, the creator of the Kakegurui manga, is also involved with the project. A trading card game will be launched in the same month as the anime’s first season.
