The TV anime adaptation of "Rakudai Kenja no Gakuin Musou ~Nidome no Tensei, S-Rank Cheat Majutsushi Boukenroku~" (English title: "From Overshadowed to Overpowered"), announced for July 2026, has revealed four new voice actors. Simultaneously, a teaser trailer was released, offering further glimpses into the story.
The news, presented on March 29th as part of "AnimeJapan 2026," concerns characters who decisively shape the "second reincarnation" of the protagonist Ephtal. Hiroki Tōchi voices the role of the old sage Ephtal from his previous life. Ayaka Fukuhara lends her voice to the young Ephtal shortly after his second rebirth. His mother Ilia is voiced by Eri Kitamura, while Daisuke Hirakawa portrays his half-brother Fraser. The four voice actors expressed their enthusiasm about their involvement in the production in accompanying comments.
The teaser trailer begins with the previous incarnation of the Great Sage, known as the "Thunder Emperor," and shows his seemingly hopeless death. Subsequently, Ephtal is reborn into a world 400 years later, where magical civilization has declined, and awakens as the most powerful magician. In addition to the newly announced characters, the video also features the slave Anastasia, living under harsh conditions, and Merlín, Ephtal's former student, who now holds a central position at the Magic Academy.
The fantasy story revolves around a great sage who is reborn 400 years after his death in battle against the Demon King. Equipped with the knowledge and magic of his previous life, he faces a world where magical civilization is in decline. The series is directed by Hisashi Ishii at Studio EMT Squared, with Deko Akao responsible for series composition.
The main roles are voiced by Shūichirō Umeda (Ephtal), Reo Osanai (Anastasia), and Haruka Shiraishi (Merlín). The series begins in July 2026 on channels including TOKYO MX, ABC TV, BS Fuji, and WOWOW.
