Quick Recap of Season 1

Season 1 ran for 13 episodes from April to June 2023. Yuya spent most of his life being bullied at school and ignored by his parents.

After moving into his late grandfather’s house, he finds a strange door that leads to a magical world. There, he earns rare treasures and powerful skills, and he brings them back to Earth to start over.

What Happens in Season 2

Season 2 picks up after Yuya defeats the Fist Saint and gains a new power tied to the Evil. He spends the season training to make that power his own, while the forces of Evil keep growing.

Expect a few big moments. Iris will face Yuya in an official match, and Mai’s ability to purify Evil gives the story a new angle on the central threat.

Episode 1 and Episode 2

Since there’s no specific date yet, there’s no official air time for episode 1 or episode 2 either. If the show follows the usual weekly format, episode 2 should land about a week after the premiere. Treat that as a reasonable guess, not a confirmed schedule.

Where to Watch Season 2

Crunchyroll currently streams the first season and the 2026 special.

That makes it the most likely home for season 2, but no streaming partner has been officially named for the new season yet. Check the platform closer to January.

Is There a Hindi Dub?

No Hindi dub has been announced for season 2. If you’re watching from India, the safest option is to follow the official streaming service in your region and watch for any dub announcements near the premiere.

The new trailer and key visual confirm the January 2027 window and introduce two new voices to the cast. It sets the tone for a story where Yuya’s power grows while the threat of Evil grows with it.

New Cast Members

Two new characters join the series:

She’s a master swordswoman searching for a man stronger than herself, and she becomes interested in Yuya after meeting him during an official match.

Sora Amamiya

Mai Kagurazaka, voiced by Sora Amamiya (Chizuru in Rent-a-Girlfriend). Like Yuya and Kaori, Mai comes from the real world.

She worked as a shrine maiden before being summoned to another world as the “Saintess,” where she carries a special power that can purify Evil.
