The Ranking of Kings series is getting a new movie, which is apparently unrelated to the previous anime. Further details about the new project have not been announced. Treasure Chest of Courage side story anime ended earlier today after 10 episodes.

It is then that Bojji finds his first friend, Kage, and Bojji’s life takes a dramatic turn…
