Adding to the hype, rock singer Kyoko of BARBEE BOYS will perform the opening theme ‘Taga Tame ni’. This track was originally written by series creator Shotaro Ishinomori and served as the iconic opening for the 1979 Cyborg 009 anime. Its lyrics powerfully capture the fate, sorrow, and unbreakable determination of the cyborg warriors.
Cyborg 009: Nemesis is scheduled to stream in Summer 2026. The staff includes Hideki Anbo directing at studio ARECT, with Atsuhiro Tomioka and CHARATEX handling the screenplay, and sanorin in charge of character designs.
Cyborg 009 (サイボーグ・ゼロ・ゼロ・ナイン) was created by Shotaro Ishinomori. It originally began serialization in Weekly Shōnen King (published by Shōnen Gahōsha) on July 19, 1964. The series later appeared across numerous other Japanese manga magazines from various publishers, including Monthly Shōnen King, Weekly Shōnen Magazine, Shōnen Big Comic, COM, Shōjo Comic, Weekly Shōnen Sunday, Monthly Shōnen Jump, and Monthly Comic Nora. It ran from 1964 to 1981 and was eventually collected into 27 tankōbon volumes. In North America, it was first published by Tokyopop, and in 2012, digital distributor comiXology licensed the full catalogue from Ishinomori Productions.The franchise has expanded into multiple adaptations, including several anime series (notably the 1968 TV series, the 1979 version, and the popular 2001 series Cyborg 009: The Cyborg Soldier), theatrical films, and the 2016 movie trilogy Cyborg 009: Call of Justice. It has also inspired crossovers such as the manga 8 Man vs. Cyborg 009 and the 2015 OVA Cyborg 009 vs. Devilman. In 2013, an American full-color graphic novel adaptation was released by Archaia Entertainment, offering a modern retelling of the early story arcs.
Since their inception, the cyborg soldiers have protected humanity from various enemies threatening peace for over half a century.
Yet the battle continues—
Now.
A group of nine cyborgs called “Nemesis” who convinces that 009 and his comrades alone cannot bring peace to the world has emerged.
Led by Graviton, the cyborg who manipulates gravity, what is their ultimate goal?
Will we witness a generational change!?
