On April 20th, in the 21st issue of "Weekly Shonen Jump" (Shueisha), the starting signal was given for Hideaki Sorachi's new series "2nd Year Class B Hero Destroyer". It is Sorachi's first new series since the end of "Gintama" about seven years ago in June 2019.
"2nd Year Class B Hero Destroyer" is a "demon comedy" that revolves around two demon kings. The demon king Valaris once plunged the world into a dark age but was ultimately defeated by a hero who brought back the light. However, Valaris left behind his offspring Valaris III, who possesses a portion of his power. Valaris III, who harbors the dream of reviving the dark power, ends up at a school in another world. There, he meets his classmate Akira Kumon, a new student with a special past.
To mark the series launch, a trailer was released. The current issue of the magazine also includes a promotional offer for all readers: a figure of Gintama protagonist Gintoki Sakata – the "Gintama SUPER MASTER STARS PIECE THE Gintoki Sakata".
