Digimon franchise

Digimon Beatbreak (Japanese: デジモンビートブレイク, Hepburn: Dejimon Bītobureiku; stylized in all caps) is a Japanese anime television series produced by Toei Animation, part of the Digimon franchise. It is directed by Hiroaki Miyamoto, with series composition by Ryota Yamaguchi, with Takahiro Kojima as character designer and Arisa Okehazama [ja] composing the music.[2] The series premiered on October 5, 2025, on Fuji TV and other networks, as part of the Anime Sunday 9 [ja] programming block.[3][4] The opening theme song is "Mad Pulse", performed by Madkid [ja]. The first ending theme song is "Beat Up", performed by Tomioka Ai,[5] the second ending theme song "Brave Groove" is performed by iLiFE! [ja][6], the third ending theme "Mira Mira" is performed by Korean idol singer Choi Ye-na,[7] and the fourth ending theme "Break It" is performed by Korean girl group Kiss of Life.[8]

The series will end on September 27, 2026 and will be succeeded by a new Digimon anime series in 2027.[9]

The series is simulcast on Crunchyroll worldwide (excluding Italy) and on Hulu in the United States.[10][11]

The first episode aired as an early preview during the Digimon Expo event on September 20.[12]

An English dub for the series premiered on Crunchyroll with its first five episodes on December 27, 2025.[13] Episodes 6–10 was released on January 31, 2026.[14] The first ten episodes of the English dub became available on Hulu on March 24, 2026.[15]

Production

Producer Nobuharu Takada stated Digimon Beatbreak is aimed at an older audience than previous shows, saying it is aimed at older teens and adults in their twenties. He stated kids like to watch shows aimed at adults, so figured kids would watch it as well.[16] He also stated Beatbreak was made as there was a gap that needed to be filled in the 9am Fuji TV time slot. As the producer of that time slot, he suggested Digimon — which was accepted.[17]

Plot

In a futuristic time, an "e-Pulse" is generated from human thoughts and emotions and used an energy source for the AI support device "Sapotama". The Sapotama was developed by the World Union which was also responsible for the arcologies called Shangri-La Eggs. From the shadows of the Sapotama development, terrifying monsters called Digimon appear; digital lifeforms that evolve by consuming humans' e-Pulse and must be eliminated by bounty-hunting teams known as Cleaners. Tomoro Tenma is drawn into an extraordinary experience after meeting Gekkomon, who suddenly appears from his Sapotama. While living together with Kyo Sawashiro and other members of the Cleaner team "Glowing Dawn" dedicated to protecting Digimon, Tomoro renews his resolve.

It is also shown that a "cold heart" can happen when a human's e-Pulse is drained and their bodies get frozen. There is also a Black e-Pulse emitted by anyone with erratic violent desires which will drive the Owner's Digimon into a berserk rage and cause a Dark Digivolution.
