Ninja Scroll Burst (獣兵衛忍風帖BURST, Jūbei Ninpūchō BURST or Jūbē Ninpūchō BURST) is a planned anime project by Yoshiaki Kawajiri.
In August 2008, Madhouse announced that an official sequel was in the works with Kawajiri returning to write and direct. In July 2012, the studio released a teaser trailer for a "three-episode short animation" titled Ninja Scroll Burst, intended to attract investors to the project. In February 2014, Madhouse CEO Hiroyuki Okada confirmed that Kawajiri had a finished script, tentatively titled Ninja Scroll Kochō (獣兵衛忍風帖 胡蝶, Jūbei Ninpūchō Kochō), and that production would move ahead as soon as financing had been secured. He also divulged that the studio was experiencing difficulty finding investors due to the fact that the original film was "not a big hit in Japan". The project remains in limbo.
At the moment, very little is known about the project. In truth, it is even difficult to say whether Ninja Scroll Kochō is another title for the previously planned Ninja Scroll Burst or simply the title of the next planned project from the Ninja Scroll series. It is possible that the situation will clarify in the future if the studio simply manage to finally accomplish the projects.
