BLACK TORCH
tv·16·Jul 4, 2026·
BLACK TORCH earns a 0/10 woke score by delivering pure shonen action through Jiro Azuma's spirit fusion, monster hunts, and squad missions with zero social or political messaging.
BLACK TORCH is a shonen action series following high schooler Jiro Azuma, a ninja descendant who communicates with animals and fuses with the immortal mononoke cat spirit Rago after a rescue, drawing him into spirit warfare and espionage missions with the Bureau's Black Torch squad.
The narrative relies on classic tropes such as supernatural power fusion, monster hunting, and battles against evil spirits, echoing setups in Bleach and Jujutsu Kaisen. Across the reviewed Season 1, the content centers exclusively on these traditional action and fantasy elements without any evident social or ideological messaging. This results in the show's official overall woke score of 0/10.
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
