The second season of the anime adaptation of the Korean webtoon "A Returner's Magic Should Be Special" (Japanese title: "Kikansha no Mahō wa Tokubetsu Desu") will air on Japanese television starting October 2026. Fuji TV will broadcast the new episodes in its late-night programming block "+Ultra" every Wednesday at 24:45. This was announced by the production team on June 7, 2026, along with the release of a first teaser visual and a short promotional clip.
The series is based on the webtoon of the same name by Wookjakga and the original web novel by Usonan, which was published on the KakaoPage platform starting in 2016. The story is set in a world plagued by the Shadow Worlds. The mage Desir Arman witnesses the failure of the last heroes and the downfall of humanity—only to suddenly awaken thirteen years in the past. Armed with knowledge of the future, he reunites with his comrades and attempts to avert the catastrophe.
As with the first season, Japanese rock band FLOW will perform the opening theme—this time with the new track "Sorrow." The band commented: "After 'GET BACK,' we were able to write another song for the series with 'Sorrow.' As Desir and his companions become embroiled in increasingly harsh battles, we wanted to express the strength that only someone who knows true grief and pain possesses. We hope the song will accompany viewers on their journey."
Before the second season begins, Fuji TV will rerun the first season starting July 2, 2026—also in the "+Ultra" block. The first season originally aired from October to December 2023 on TOKYO MX and other channels; streaming service Crunchyroll showed the series internationally and has already announced that it will stream the second season worldwide. Additionally, there will be an exclusive panel for the second season at Anime Expo in July 2026.
The cast remains the same as the first season: Takuma Terashima voices the lead role of Desir Arman, Sayumi Suzushiro lends her voice to Romantica Eru, Natsumi Fujiwara voices Pram Schnaizer, and Asami Seto takes on the role of Azest Kingscrown. Direction is once again handled by Taishi Kawaguchi at Studio Arvo Animation, with series composition by Takamitsu Kouno and character design by Hiromi Kato.
