The anime Turkey! Time to Strike surprised viewers after airing its first episode on July 8, 2025, in Japan. Right after the broadcast, a new trailer was released along with a third promotional image that reveals the unexpected plot twist of this original production.





From a bowling club to the Sengoku era


Initially presented as a sports anime about high school girls who are part of a bowling club in Chikuma City, Nagano Prefecture, the first episode revealed that it is a time-traveling sci-fi story. The protagonists are suddenly transported to the historic Sengoku era (1467-1568), a time of conflicts and samurai in Japan.


Official synopsis: from the present to the past


The story begins at the bowling club of Ikkoukan High School. Mai, the leader of the club, wants to prioritize fun over competition, while Rina, a younger partner, wants to win at all costs. After an argument, Rina challenges Mai to a match. During the game, the bowling ball begins to glow brightly and the five members of the club are absorbed by a mysterious light. When they wake up... they are in the middle of the Sengoku era!
