Crunchyroll Adds Tamil Dub for Ranking of Kings: The Treasure Chest of Courage Anime (Updated)
posted on by Adriana Hazra
The anime tells a story that has not been seen in the original anime, and it features a returning cast and staff. The anime "side story" premiered on April 13. The company added the Hindi dub and English dub for the anime on May 6.
The first television anime of Sōsuke Tōka's Ranking of Kings (Ōsama Ranking) manga premiered in October 2021 and ran for two continuous cours (quarters of the year). Crunchyroll added the Hindi dub of the anime in January 2023. It added a Tamil dub on September 8 and a Telugu dub on November 14. The company is also streaming the anime with an English dub.
The web manga centers around Bojji, 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" (shadow) — a literal shadow on the ground who somehow understands Bojji well. (Kage is a survivor of the Kage assassin clan that was all but wiped out. No longer a killer, Kage now makes ends meet by stealing.) The story follows Bojji's coming-of-age as he meets various people in his life, starting with his fateful encounter with Kage.
Sōsuke Tōka has been serializing the manga on the user-submitted manga website Manga Hack and other venues since May 2017. BookLive is releasing the manga in English.
Update: Crunchyroll added only the Tamil dub of the anime on February 16. It added the Telugu dub at a later date.
