Dropkick On My Devil Season 4: Renewal Status + Release Date Predictions
Dropkick On My Devil Season 4, will it ever happen?
Comedy in anime is prevalent, as even the action-packed genres employ a number of tropes to generate laughter.
A good comedy anime can make the ribs tickle, which, when blended with an exciting plot, can become a real treat for the viewers.
Each year numerous comedy series are released, and Summer 2018 was no different as the anime adaption of Yukiwo s manga series, Dropkick On My Devil!! X hit the small screens.
The plot follows an occult-loving girl called Yurine Hanazono, who summons an evil god, Jashin-chan, to the human realm.
While Yurine knows how to summon the devil, she has no idea how to send it back, and consequently, Jashin-chan gets stuck on earth.
If that’s not enough, Jashin-chan also must now live at Yurine s’ apartment as her familiar.
The only way to send Jashin back is to kill her summoner; however, it’s easier said than done, especially for an incompetent demon like her.
Jashin is planning and plotting various schemes to kill Yurine but fails, which in turn prompts Yurine to attack and punish her for hatching such plans.
Thanks to her regenerative abilities, Jashin is able to recover from any injuries inflicted by Yurine.
The evil god also has two demon friends, i.e., the kind-hearted Gorgon Medusa and the energetic minotaur Minosu, who seem much more well-behaved in contrast and disapprove of her plans to kill Yurine.
Can the two reluctant roommates survive each other’s bizarre tactics in this comedic cat-and-mouse chase is the central plot of the show.

Production studios consider various financial and commercial metrics before announcing a renewal.
Considering a comedy series has completed three seasons, its no doubt there is demand for it.
The anime’s Blu-ray Disc and DVD box sets have sold over 2,000 copies combined, guaranteed the second season. The first box sold 1,043 copies, while the second box sold 958 copies.
For the third season, the anime faced controversy as the series portrayed a few “socially unacceptable” dialogues, and as a result, Japan’s Furano City refused to pay public funds to the creators of Jashin Dropkick X.
The committee had voted 7 to 7 on whether to hand over the funds, with the chairman having the deciding vote, thus refusing to hand over the JP¥33 million (US$236,116) in funds to the production committee.
Hence for the third season, the creators began a crowdfunding campaign in October 2020 and surpassed the goal of 20 million yen in 33 hours.
Similar to season three, another crowdfunding campaign was started, and it was a massive success.
According to their official Twitter account, the Dropkick on My Devil! Anime recently hit 100 million yen (roughly $782,000) in a crowdfunding campaign to produce a fourth season titled Dropkick on My Devil! NEXT.
The franchise set an initial goal of 30 million yen (around $235,000) to fund a new OVA episode but blew past that benchmark less than an hour after launching the site on Nov. 30, closing on Dec. 13 with a grand total of 115,964,266 yen (about $907,000) in contributions.
The series surpassed the current Guinness World Record for the most money raised by an anime production project, previously held by Dies Irae, with a sum of 96,560,858 yen in their 2015 crowdfunding campaign,
All in All, we can now expect the Dropkick On My Devil Season 4 trailer and Dropkick On My Devil Season 4 release date by the Summer of 2024.
