Sand Land release schedule

The first six episodes of Sand Land are, essentially, a recut version of 2023’s Sand Land film. We’ve seen that happen previously with big titles such as Demon Slayer with its Mugen Train arc, and it’s the same here again.

The seventh episode onwards is the Angelic Heroes arc, with a fresh concept from Toriyama himself before his passing.

New episodes will air every Wednesday from now until the beginning of May, with the finale set to air on May 1.
