“To Your Eternity” Season 3 heads towards climax
Episode 17 will mark the beginning of the climax of Season 3. The anime describes what to come (through a machine translation) as:
Fushi, pursuing Mizuha's whereabouts, heads to the Nokker protection squad's headquarters.
Meanwhile, at school, a Nokker disguised as Fushi appears and clashes with Tonari and the others.
Yuki, seeking coexistence with the Nokkers, and Satoru's unexpected proposal. Beyond the unavoidable choice, what is the observer's goal, and what future will Fushi choose?
Season 3 began airing on 3 October, 2025, and continued into the Winter 2026 anime season. Drive and STUDIO MASSKET animates Season 3, with Season 2's Kiyoko Sayama helming the series as chief director, alongside Sota Yokote as director.
Shinzo Fujita returns as the series composer while Koji Yabuno will continue his work as character designer. Ryo Kawasaki is the music composer and Takeshi Takadera is the sound director. The anime is based on the popular manga series by Yoshitoki Ōima, which ended in 2025 with its 25th volume.
“To Your Eternity” started serialisation in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine in 2016, and marks Oima’s second venture into manga-making after the critically-acclaimed A Silent Voice.
Crunchyroll describes the story of “To Your Eternity” as:
In the beginning, an "orb" is cast unto Earth. "It" can do two things: change into the form of the thing that stimulates "it"; and come back to life after death. "It" morphs from orb to rock, then to wolf, and finally to boy, but roams about like a newborn who knows nothing. As a boy, "it" becomes Fushi.
Through encounters with human kindness, Fushi not only gains survival skills, but grows as a "person". But his journey is darkened by the inexplicable and destructive enemy Nokker, as well as cruel partings with the people he loves.
