That makes Tank Chair‘s Nagi Taira stand out before the anime has even premiered on October 4, 2026.
Now, 22 years later, Nagi is arriving as the protagonist of a new shonen anime, offering a very different take on what a disabled action hero can be.
Johnny remains one of the most prominent disabled protagonists in major shonen manga, but Tank Chair takes the idea in an entirely different direction.
What makes Nagi different is that Tank Chair does not simply place a disabled character inside an action story.
The official anime site itself describes Tank Chair as a story of “Bonds” centered on the siblings supporting each other.
