There is no dub for Tokyo Revengers S3, and fans are wondering why.
The leading theory is that Disney+ doesn’t see dubbing it as a profitable affair.
This is supported by the fact that the anime has been losing popularity for quite a while.
If you have been watching Tokyo Revengers dubbed, you might be wondering when the dub for Season 3 is coming out. To be fair, even if you have been watching it subbed, you might have noticed that there’s no dub for S3.
This might look very strange: wasn’t the anime extremely popular? Well, while we don’t know the answer for sure, it doesn’t look good for Tokyo Revengers fans either way.
Very likely it’s not considered profitable
The main theory is that Disney+, who is licensing the series past S1, just dones’t want to invest in the dub. Why? There is no official statement, but according to some rumors — which were quoted by the dub actor for Shuji Hanma, Zeno Robinson — Disney+ doesn’t seem to be sure dubbing the series will even be profitable at this point.
This might come off as a surprise: Tokyo Revengers had a huge manga fanbase before it got an anime, and during its first season’s run, it was one of the biggest anime of its season. However, it seems that by now, the popularity of the anime has dwindled significantly, and one may wonder if this is also the case in Japan.
The anime has been losing popularity for a while
Unfortunately for Tokyo Revengers fans, the anime just isn’t as big as it was initially expected to be. The hype has mainly died out, and even in Japan, the official Twitter account for the series has actually been losing followers, which almost never happens for a very popular series where the last season ended just a couple of months ago.
There are many theories why this has been happening. Some fans feel like the protagonist of Tokyo Revengers, Takemichi, is extremely whiny and unlikeable. Others point out that the latest season has suffered from a downgrade in animation quality.
The anime should have been on another platform
One big thing viewers need to remember is that this, in part, is also related to the fact that it is streamed on Disney+ in the first place. The platform is just not as big as Crunchyroll or Netflix, and the fact that many couldn’t watch the anime legally really hurt its popularity.
S1 being on Crunchyroll means that you’d have to have two subscriptions to watch the anime, which fans are unhappy with. With how interconnected the world is now, a drop in popularity among overseas viewers has possibly affected the sales quite a bit. A lack of profitability has probably affected the decision to not dub the third season.
Bad news: it is probably not getting dubbed.
