The Latest Edition to the Osama Ranking Universe So Far
The 2021 anime that was released as a first and also the recently released spin-off series can be streamed on Crunchyroll if you want to stay updated for the new movie release.
This spin-off titled Osama Ranking: Treasure Chest of Courage draw in large audiences and an even larger positive response from them. The story concentrated on the new adventures of the protagonists of the series, Bojji, and Kage.
The first teaser trailer, released on December 4, 2022, shows Bojji undergoing some kind of rapier training while Hilling and Anne having an adventure together.
A flashback to Desha’s revolution in the Underworld (adapted from the Volume 9 bonus chapter, “Immortality”), where Bojji can be seen travelling with a mysterious figure in gold and blue plate armour.
A second teaser trailer, released on March 19, 2023, contains numerous flashbacks to Kage’s childhood with his mother in the Bo Kingdom. Bojji speaks with a reformed Miranjo and King Daida, suggesting the special is a direct sequel to the events of the Ousama Ranking movie, rather than a prequel or interquel.

What to expect from the movie?
The movie might focus on the adventures of Bojji after he decides to find his own kingdom and a better exploration of The Divine Treasure Vault of Gods, which is one of the biggest burning questions and the source of endless conspiracy theories among the Osama Ranking fandom.
In conclusion, Osama Ranking is a story of a boy against the entire world. A little boy who was shunned and told to stay inside the lines of his own disabilities. But one day, he crossed them.
And suddenly, he possessed the dangerous knowledge that you can break a rule and the world won’t instantly come to an end. He took the big, black, bold line and made it a little gray. And with every episode, it just kept getting greyer until one day, Bojji realized that there were no lines holding him back anymore.
