Anime News: "Koko Ore" Broadcast Delayed from April to July 2026
There is a bit of a bittersweet update for the fans who were eagerly waiting for the television premiere of the upcoming fantasy series. The official broadcast start date for the TV anime "10 years after I said leave it to me and move on, it became a legend" (famously known as Koko Ore) has actually been shifted. Initially scheduled to hit our screens in April, the release window has now been moved to July 2026.
This big announcement came directly through the anime's official website and their verified X (formerly Twitter) handle. The production team mentioned that they are aiming to create a work that will be enjoyed even more by the audience, which is why they need this extra time. They wrote, "All the production staff will do our best. We appreciate your patience for a while." While delays are always a bit disappointing, it is good to know that they are prioritizing quality so that I Became a Legend After My 10 Year-Long Last Stand lives up to the massive hype surrounding it.
Understanding the Story and Its Origins
For those who are not familiar, the series "It has become a legend 10 years after I told you to leave this place to me and move on" is based on the popular light novel written by Ezogin Fox. The plot is quite interesting and follows the journey of a hero named Luck. He was once a member of a legendary heroic party that challenged the Demon King. During a desperate moment, Luck told his comrades to go ahead while he stayed back to hold off the enemies. Everyone thought he sacrificed himself to save the party from annihilation.
However, against all odds, Luck survived. The twist is that he now lives a quiet life while hiding his true, powerful identity. He currently goes by the name Rock and is officially registered as just an F-rank adventurer. It is one of those classic "overpowered character hiding their strength" stories that fans love.
