The second key visual for the TV anime adaptation of Cleveates: The King of the Magic Beasts, the Foundling, and the Fallen Heroes (jap. Cleveates: Majū no Ō to Akago to Shikabane no Yūsha) was unveiled on June 15, 2025, during a preview screening of the first chapter at Grand Cinema Sunshine Ikebukuro. The visual features all main characters – including the heroine Alicia, the beast king Cleveates wandering in human form, and the foundling Luna – in a dynamic group composition that emphasizes the epic fantasy world of the work.

Based on the manga by Yuji Iwahara (Dimension W), the series tells the story of 13 heroes who fail to defeat the demon king Cleveates. Instead, their attack triggers a catastrophe that threatens humanity. Cleveates himself unexpectedly becomes the protector of a human infant – Luna – who is considered the last hope. The story combines dark fantasy elements with moral ambivalence and explores themes such as guilt, responsibility, and unexpected allies.
