The next chapter in New Saga arrives on Thursday, August 21, 2025, at 2:15 a.m. JST. Japanese audiences will first catch it on ABC before it airs on Tokyo MX, BS12, and AT-X. Shortly after, international fans can stream the episode through Crunchyroll, making it widely accessible for the growing global fanbase.
Titled Those Who Act Out of Sight, this episode is set to dive deeper into the aftermath of Episode 7’s shocking conclusion. Kyle Leonard’s meeting with Alzard Vane, an old friend of his late mother, took a deadly turn when a demon infiltrated the governor’s residence and murdered Alzard in cold blood. The demon, Yuriga, is now poised to face Kyle in battle—a fight that promises to showcase Kyle’s combat experience from his previous timeline, along with his deep understanding of demonic threats.
Episode 7, To the Blacksmith’s Nation, was packed with important developments. Kyle’s group reached the city of Karan and met Miranda, who was working to find a successor for the ailing governor. The party crossed paths with Gazus, a strong candidate for the position, and learned of his son Goh’s innovative work and the existence of a sword that rivals Sildonia. Meanwhile, Theron split off from the group, only to rescue Goh and bring him back to reunite with his father. These political and personal threads created a fragile sense of hope—shattered when the demon struck.
In Episode 8, the immediate focus will likely be the battle between Kyle and Yuriga. This clash will not only test Kyle’s strength and skill but also introduce Miranda and others to the grim reality of demons for the first time. The episode is also expected to delve into a tense investigation, as the group tries to uncover how Yuriga managed to infiltrate such a heavily guarded location without detection.
Beyond the action, Those Who Act Out of Sight could deepen the series’ political intrigue, with questions surrounding the governor’s illness, the Gargan Empire’s presence, and whether Alzard’s death was part of a larger conspiracy. As allegiances shift and new dangers emerge, the episode promises both adrenaline-pumping combat and layered storytelling that could change the course of the series.
With the blend of action, mystery, and high emotional stakes, Episode 8 is shaping up to be a turning point for New Saga.
