A second key visual has been released for the TV anime series "Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling" (Japanese: "Tensei Shitara Dragon no Tamago Datta"). Titled the "Plague Dragon Decisive Battle Version" (Japanese: "厄病竜大決戦ver"), the illustration shows the protagonist Ilusia in his new evolutionary stage.
In the tenth episode of the series, Ilusia evolves from the "Plague Dragon Child" (Japanese: "厄病子竜") into the mature "Plague Dragon" (Japanese: "厄病竜"). The new visual focuses on this moment and additionally includes the "Little Rock Dragon," with whom Ilusia has a special connection. The two creatures are depicted in a tense confrontation, giving the image a dramatic and powerful tone.
Accompanying the release of the new visual, an event for March 28th at the "AnimeJapan 2026" convention was announced. At the Hakuhodo DY Music & Pictures booth at the Tokyo Big Sight venue, voice actors Shun'ichi Toki (voice of Ilusia) and Miku Itō (voice of Miria) are expected to appear. Together with the series' promotional captain, a mascot character named Ilusia-kun, they will be on stage. Furthermore, an opportunity to meet and take photos with Ilusia-kun is planned at the convention booth.
