What Happened With the Tomb Raider King Anime Episodes
Tomb Raider King anime episode 1 launched on Crunchyroll on July 8, 2026, and the Japanese broadcast followed the same night on Fuji TV's B8station programming block and Kansai TV. New episodes have released weekly on Wednesdays since, alongside the Japanese airing. Episode 7 went live August 19, putting the season past its halfway point with five episodes left.
The anime is produced by KADOKAWA with STUDIO EEK handling the actual animation. The director is Seung Wook Woo, character design is by Hyun Joung Lee, and music is composed by Ju Young Kim. The opening theme, "Show Down," is performed by QWER.
One detail worth knowing if you're comparing Japanese and English coverage: the Japanese broadcast credits list the protagonist under a localized Japanese name, Goriki Ryoga, voiced by Yoshimasa Hosoya. The English-language release and this site use the manhwa's original name, Jooheon Kwon, throughout, so don't be thrown off if you see the Japanese name pop up in JP-language cast pages.
The full season runs 12 episodes. Episodes 8 through 12 continue the weekly Wednesday schedule, with the finale set for September 23, 2026.
Why It Matters

Tomb Raider King's anime run has been a long wait for the manhwa's fanbase. The source manhwa by SAN.G ran for 412 chapters -- one of the longest completed action manhwa in recent years -- before wrapping up. Readers who burned through all of it had been waiting for an animation announcement since the series ended, and the show is now past its midpoint with a confirmed end date.
For new viewers: Jooheon Kwon, an unlucky tomb raider, dies raiding a god-class relic and wakes up 15 years in the past. He uses his knowledge of future relic locations -- and of his own death -- to become the strongest raider alive. It's a regression story, but one built around a protagonist who's less heroic and more ruthlessly practical than the genre default.
If you're looking for India availability, yes, it's covered. Crunchyroll's license for the series explicitly includes India and Southeast Asia, alongside North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, and the CIS region excluding Russia.
Episode-by-Episode Notes
Spoiler-light notes on each episode as it airs, checked against the official broadcast synopses. This section grows by one entry every Wednesday through the September 23 finale.
Episode 1 (aired July 8, 2026): Jooheon Kwon, a small-time tomb raider who profits off relics hidden in ancient tombs, is betrayed by his employer and left for dead until a mysterious crow saves him. He wakes up transported 15 years into the past, before the first tomb ever appeared.
Episode 2 (aired July 15, 2026): After funding his comeback by exposing a smuggling operation at a corrupt gallery, Jooheon tries to resume raiding on his own terms, only to find a tomb has manifested at the site of his future home, with another raider already trying to get inside.
Episode 3 (aired July 22, 2026): A tomb holding a legendary sword relic appears with civilians trapped inside, and Jooheon ends up racing a rival excavation team for the blade.
Episode 4 (aired July 29, 2026): Jooheon leans on the owner of a precognition relic for a glimpse of the future, then uses that information to crash Midas, the world's largest black-market relic auction, held in Las Vegas.
Episode 5 (aired August 5, 2026): At the Midas auction, Jooheon partners with a woman set to become a future business tycoon and outbids a rival collector for a relic tied to an unnaturally long life, which draws the attention of that collector's subordinate.
Episode 6 (aired August 12, 2026): Jooheon and the rival collector finally face off directly. The collector's own relic nearly overwhelms him in the fight, and the fallout triggers a warning that other relics worldwide are stirring, ending in an earthquake that spawns new tombs across the globe.
Episode 7 (aired August 19, 2026): Jooheon strikes the rival collector down, only to find the man's relic makes him effectively unkillable. With his own relic damaged in the clash, Jooheon sends an ally to track down someone who can repair it.
