MASHLE: Magic and Muscles has released the first main trailer and a new key visual for its third season, The Tri-Magicathlon Divine Visionary Final Exam Arc, and revealed two new cast members joining Mash Burnedead's final exam. The trailer lays out the season's competition and introduces the two students from Walkis Magic Academy who will stand in Easton's way.
The trailer opens on the exam itself: each magic school sends its finest students as Divine Visionary candidates to compete in the Tri-Magicathlon Divine Visionary Final Exam. It then introduces Domina Blowelive and Lévis Rosequartz of the powerful Walkis Magic Academy in a run of action and magic sequences alongside Mash and his friends, picking up after Mash overcame the Divine Visionary Candidate Exam despite an attack by Innocent Zero — with new assassins moving in the shadows as the finest students gather.
The main trailer can be watched below:
The key visual released with the trailer puts Mash at the center in a dark long coat with his fist raised, flanked by Finn Ames, Lemon Irvine, Dot Barrett, Lance Crown and the rest of his friends in matching coats.
The two new cast members are both students of Walkis Magic Academy. Soma Saito voices Domina Blowelive, whose character art shows him with short bright-pink hair and gold eyes in a dark high-collared coat, wand in hand. Ryota Suzuki voices Lévis Rosequartz, shown with long pale-blonde hair and an eyepatch over one eye, holding his wand up. The season's returning main cast continues alongside them.
Tomonari Tanaka continues to direct the season at A-1 Pictures, with Yosuke Kuroda on series composition and Masaru Yokoyama composing the music. The one major change is in character design: Chiaki Furuzumi, a sub-character designer on Solo Leveling, takes over as character designer from Hisashi Higashijima for the third season.
What MASHLE: Magic and Muscles Season 3 Will Be About
Season 3 picks up right where Season 2 left off, adapting the Tri-Magicathlon Divine Visionary Final Exam Arc from Hajime Komoto's manga — the next major arc after the Divine Visionary Candidate Exam Arc that Season 2 covered. The finest students from Easton, Walkis and Saint Ars Magic Academies gather for the final exam that decides who becomes a Divine Visionary, while the threat of Innocent Zero and his organization continues to close in around the competition.
Beyond the final exam, only one major arc remains in the completed manga: the concluding arc built around the long-promised confrontation with Innocent Zero. The anime project has been presented as a complete adaptation of Komoto's manga, so if Season 3 runs long enough, it could carry the story into that final stretch — though no episode count has been announced, and whether the season reaches it has not been confirmed.
MASHLE: Magic and Muscles is an action comedy and fantasy manga written and drawn by Hajime Komoto, serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump from January 2020 to July 2023 for 18 volumes, with VIZ Media releasing the series in English. The anime's first season premiered in 2023 and its second in 2024, each running for 12 episodes.
MASHLE: Magic and Muscles Season 3 premieres on January 9, 2027, and will stream on Crunchyroll worldwide excluding Japan and China, where the first two seasons are already streaming.
