According to the update, Ranking of Kings: Treasure Chest of Courage will be the title of the show’s new project. The anime is set to start in April 2023, and at this time, fans do not know how long the series will run. WIT Studio may give fans a full season order or go with a two-shot OVA request. But either way, the side story will bring Bojji back to the screen following his season one debut.
And for those curious, no – this new project is not considered a new season. Ranking of Kings has not announced a new season in the wake of its first. Of course, fans are hoping this 2023 anime may end with a season two announcement. After all, Ranking of Kings has been quiet since March 2022 brought about its end. There is still plenty for Bojji to do on his journey, so for now, fans are keeping their fingers crossed for a second season.

“Bojji is a deaf, powerless prince who cannot even wield a children’s sword. As the firstborn son, he strives hard and dreams of becoming the world’s greatest king. However, people mutter about him behind his back as “a good-for-nothing prince” and “no way he can be king.” Bojji is able to make his first-ever friend, “Kage” – a literal shadow on the ground who somehow understands Bojji well.”
