Strike the Blood

Strike the Blood is a TV anime adapted from the light novel series by Mikumo Gakuto, produced by SILVER LINK. under the direction of Hideyoshi Yamamoto with series composition by Hiroyuki Yoshino. Set on the artificial island of Itogami, the series blends action, fantasy, supernatural thrills, and ecchi elements into a high-octane adventure. When the legendary Fourth Progenitor Kojou Akatsuki crosses paths with the sword shaman Yukina Himeragi, sent to observe him, an explosive partnership is forged. With a richly built world, dynamic combat, and a cast of compelling characters, this is essential viewing for fans of supernatural action.

In a world where vampires are not mere myth but living reality, power among their kind is measured by bloodline rank—with the "Primogenitors" standing at the absolute apex. The Fourth Primogenitor, however, is something else entirely: a being so overwhelmingly powerful that most believe it could never truly exist. When rumors of this legendary vampire—said to command twelve fearsome Kenjuu and bring disaster in its wake—begin to surface in Japan, both the government and the Lion King Organization are forced to act. Their response: deploy a Sword Shaman, an elite attack mage trained for exactly this kind of threat. Strangely, the one assigned to observe this elusive target is not a seasoned veteran, but an apprentice Sword Shaman named Yukina Himeragi. Armed with a spirit spear said to be the ultimate weapon against any Primogenitor, Yukina sets out for Itogami City—a unique urban sanctuary known as the Demon District, where humans and supernatural beings coexist uneasily. There, an unexpected encounter awaits her, one that may force her to question everything she thought she knew about Kojou Akatsuki and the legend of the Fourth Primogenitor.
