The anime is based on Ukyō Kodachi and Mikie Ikemoto’s Boruto sequel manga, which launched in Weekly Shonen Jump in May 2016.
The manga moved to Shueisha’s V Jump magazine last July.
The magazine also announced new cast members, including Tetsuya Kakihara as Deepa, and Chō as Victor.
New episodes of the anime were delayed beginning on May 3 due to the state of emergency declared against the spread of the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
