Tomb Raider King fans will have to wait an extra week for the season finale. The twelfth and final episode of the anime’s first season has been pushed back from its original September 23 slot to September 30, 2026, due to broadcast schedule changes in Japan. The announcement came directly from the anime’s official website and social media channels.
The delay was confirmed on September 17, 2026, with the official site stating that the finale would not air on September 23 as previously planned. Crunchyroll will still stream the episode worldwide on the same day it airs in Japan.
Why Was Tomb Raider King Episode 12 Delayed
Broadcast schedule changes in Japan are the reason behind the one-week delay. The final episode was originally set for September 23, 2026, but has been moved to September 30, 2026.
Anime2You reported that the official website announced the delay without specifying a detailed reason, only confirming that the finale would now air on September 30 instead of September 23. Some sources suggest the production committee may have needed a longer time slot for the finale, though this has not been officially confirmed.

Tomb Raider King Episode 11 Recap: The Tree of Life and a Casino Showdown
Episode 11, titled “The Owner of the Tree of Life,” followed Jooheon Suh as he continued his mission to gather relics before his enemies do. The episode introduced a unique relic with a personality unlike any other.
The worm relic refused to be conquered through dominance. It wanted money instead. Jooheon found himself in the unusual position of negotiating with a relic, leading to a hilarious sequence where he showered the worm with cash.
A casino scene brought both comedy and action. Jooheon and his allies entered a gambling establishment where a professional cheater was using a lucky coin to win. Irene used her misfortune relic to counter the cheat, turning the tables on the cheater.
Irene’s relic continued to produce unexpected side effects. After using her powers, she experienced an intense desire to kiss Jooheon. This led to a funny motel scene where she unexpectedly kissed him, while Jooheon appeared more focused on his relic-collecting mission than romance.
The episode’s most impressive action sequence came when Jooheon became trapped underground after acquiring the worm relic. He used the flint relic to create a massive explosion and escape, showing his willingness to take extreme measures.
The Tree of Life relic was introduced as a key item in Jooheon’s plans. His men treated it almost like a person, even serving it wine. By the episode’s end, Jooheon and his allies were heading to New York with the Tree of Life in their possession.
Anime News Network’s review of Episode 11 praised the episode for giving Jooheon’s ruthlessness “some method to its meanness” and noted that the worm relic negotiation scene “got a big laugh out of me”.

What the Finale Sets Up
The season finale will follow Jooheon’s arrival in New York with the Tree of Life relic. His primary goal remains saving Irene’s parents, a mission that has driven much of the season’s later episodes.
The relationship between Jooheon and Irene has taken a more adult turn compared to typical shonen anime. Their kiss in Episode 11 marked a significant step, and the finale is expected to continue developing this mature romantic dynamic.
Keira Clark’s plans and her organization’s connection to the tomb and the children remain unresolved threads. The finale may reveal more about their objectives and interest in the relics.
Tomb Raider King has drawn frequent comparisons to Solo Leveling due to its focus on a protagonist who rises from weakness using future knowledge. The series premiered on July 8, 2026, and has 12 episodes in its first season.
