The ending theme for the second season of the anime "Nige Jouzu no Wakagimi" (The Elusive Samurai) has been decided: Singer-songwriter Botchi Boromaru delivers the song "Romantic ga Hoshii nara" (If You Want Romance). He already contributed the ending theme "Kamakura STYLE" for the first season. Now he returns – and gets support from the idol group Hinatazaka46. Three of its members will participate as guest singers, but their identities will only be revealed with the first broadcast on July 17, 2026.
The song was written specifically for the series by Botchi Boromaru, who describes himself as a big fan of the original manga. It was created after attending a Hinatazaka46 concert, where he was impressed by three particularly radiant members. According to Botchi Boromaru, the result is a "lovely, heartwarming pop song about a jealous girl." A snippet of the song has already been shared on social media before its release, and the song will be available for digital purchase starting July 18, 2026.
The second season of the anime begins on July 17, 2026, on Japanese television in Fuji TV's Noitamina time slot. The first season will be rebroadcast starting April 2026. The series is based on the manga of the same name by Yusei Matsui, which was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from January 2021 to February 2026. The story follows young Hojo Tokiyuki, who, after the fall of the Kamakura shogunate due to betrayal, survives and aims to reclaim it using his exceptional escape skills. The main character Tokiyuki is voiced by Asaki Yuikawa, with other voice actors including Hinaki Yano, Mari Hino, Sayumi Suzushiro, Aoi Yuki, Kikunosuke Toya, and Yuichi Nakamura. The animation is produced by Studio CloverWorks under the direction of Yuta Yamazaki.
The second season promises new twists and the introduction of additional characters. The opening theme was previously contributed by KENTO NAKAJIMA. Fans can look forward to finding out which Hinatazaka46 members will be heard in the ending.
