New music and conflicts in the second season of Hell's Paradise

The second season of the anime series Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku will be accompanied by a new ending theme song by the Japanese rock band Queen Bee. A recently released trailer offers first insights into the soundtrack and plot of the continuation.

The series follows the death-sentenced ninja Gabimaru the Hollow. He is offered an acquittal if he searches for the Elixir of Immortality on a mysterious island. The first season established this dangerous mission and the ominous island Kotaku. The upcoming season will focus on the comprehensive conflict between humans and the so-called Tensen over this elixir.

The Tensen are powerful, immortal beings who rule the island and strive for perfection according to Taoist principles. A key figure in this conflict is Mei, a Tensen who has turned away from her kind and helps the human characters. Her story and her connection to Gabimaru are expected to play an important role.

The production team for the series remains largely unchanged. The direction is once again led by Kaori Makita, while MAPPA continues to be responsible for the animation. The series will be available internationally on platforms such as Crunchyroll and Netflix.

In addition to Queen Bee, the opening song by Tatsuya Kitani feat. BABYMETAL titled Kasuka na Hana (Faint Flower) will also be contributed. To prepare for the new season, a short recap video for the first season has been provided on the official Twin Engine YouTube channel.

The ending song introduced in the latest trailer, titled PERSONAL, was described by singer Avu-chan as a kind of lullaby meant to envelop the characters in their fierce struggle. This description suggests an emotional and contemplative sound that could provide a contrast to the action-packed scenes of the series.

Thus, the second season of Hell's Paradise promises a deepening of the mythological conflict, accompanied by an emotional soundtrack that reflects the inner struggles of the characters.
