On June 28, 2026, the first half (first cour) of the TV anime sequel 'Diamond no Ace actII -Second Season-' ended with the 13th episode. Immediately after the broadcast, the production team announced the start of the second cour for October 2026. The new cour will be aired on TV Tokyo's six-station network as well as on AT-X.
At the same time, a teaser visual was released, showing Seido High School's catcher, Kazuya Miyuki, and Inashiro Industrial High School's ace pitcher, Mei Narumiya, in an intense confrontation. The motif highlights the highly anticipated final of the West Tokyo preliminaries – a duel that represents a chance for the Seido nine to avenge their defeat from the previous year.
For the musical accompaniment of the second cour, two long-time companions of the 'Diamond no Ace' series return: the band GLAY contributes the opening, and the music duo OxT provides the ending. Both artists have already shaped the atmosphere of the series in previous seasons.
The story of 'Diamond no Ace' is based on the manga of the same name by Yuji Terajima, which was serialized in 'Weekly Shonen Magazine' (Kodansha) from 2006 to 2022. The anime adaptation started in 2013, and the direct sequel 'actII' followed in 2019. 'actII -Second Season-' is the latest installment; its first cour was shown from April 2026. The animation of the second cour will once again be produced by OLM Team Yoshioka. Fans can also look forward to a talk and live event on September 26, 2026, where further details are expected.
