The second season of the anime adaptation "Hell Mode – Yarikomizuki no Gamer wa Hai Settei no Isekai de Musou suru" has received a concrete start date. As production and marketing have now announced, the new season will begin on July 3, 2026, on TOKYO MX at 25:00 (JST). Additional broadcasters include MBS, BS Nippon Television, and AT-X; simultaneously, streaming will start on platforms such as ABEMA and d Anime Store.
Today, the main promotional trailer was also released, introducing not only the already known main characters Allen, Krena, Dogora, and Cecil but also the new characters. These include the Sword Saint Doberg and the principal of the Academy City, Theodisail. The roles are voiced by Taketora (Doberg) and Shinichiro Miki (Theodisail). Both voice actors expressed their enthusiasm: Taketora highlighted the unique blend of challenging gameplay and deep character development, while Miki praised the "idyllic growth story."
Also new is the opening for the second season: The Japanese rock band Romance Marshmallow contributes the song "○✕△□." Guitarist and singer Manny explained that the title reflects Allen's unyielding will to take his fate into his own hands.
The series is based on the light novel of the same name by Hamuo (illustrations: Mo) and follows the story of 35-year-old office worker Kenichi Yamada, who, after years of hardcore gaming, plunges into a mysterious online world—and is reborn there as a farmer boy named Allen. With his ability as a summoner and his choice of the highest difficulty level, "Hell Mode," he fights his way through a merciless fantasy world. The first season aired from January to March 2026 and consisted of twelve episodes. For the second season, additional voice actors were already secured in advance: Takahiro Sakurai as Helmios, Reiji Kawashima as Kiel, Kiyono Yasuno as Sophiarone, Hikaru Midorikawa as Formar, and Miyu Tomita as Meruru.
Direction is once again handled by Masato Tamagawa ("The Great Cleric"), with series composition by Daishiro Tanimura. Character design is by Kei Tsushima. The animation is produced, as in the first season, by Yokohama Animation Lab.
