While fans still have to wait before getting into Season 2, there’s plenty to be excited about in light of recent updates and teasers! Stick around to find out everything there is to know about The Misfit of Demon King Academy Season 2 so far, including the release date, official trailer, cast, plot, and much more.

The Misfit of Demon King Academy Season 2

The Misfit of Demon King Academy anime series is based on a light novel, which was originally written by Shu and illustrated by Yoshinori Shizuma. The light novel began its serialization in Dengeki Bunko in 2018, after which it was transformed into a manga adaptation by Kayaharuka in MangaUp! magazine.

Due to Kayaharuka’s tragic passing, the manga has been halted indefinitely. However, Square Enix has recently licensed the manga and described the plot as follows:

“Anos, the Demon King of Tyranny, has defeated humans, spirits, and gods alike. But even demon kings get tired of all the fighting sometimes! Hoping for a more peaceful life, Anoth decides to reincarnate himself. When he wakes two thousand years later, though, he finds the world has become too peaceful–his descendants have grown weak and magic is in serious decline. Intending to reclaim his rightful place, he enrolls in Demon King Academy, where he finds that his magical power is off the charts. Literally. And because they can’t measure his power, the faculty and other students regard Anoth as a misfit. With the support of Misha, the one student he manages to befriend, the misfit (Demon King) begins his climb up the demon ranks!”

Season 2 of The Misfit of Demon King Academy was teased way back in early 2021, specifically through an ambiguous tweet from The Misfit of Demon King Academy’s official Twitter page. The Tweet can be loosely translated as follows:

“Did you think this would be the last of ‘The Misfit of Demon King Academy’? You’ll have to wait a little longer.”

When more details surrounding Season 2 were revealed, it was confirmed that the second season would be a ‘split-cour’ anime. A ‘cour’ refers to a three-month TV broadcasting block, which is based on seasons that typically comprise 10 or 13 episodes.

In turn, ‘split-cour’ means that a single anime season will take place over a course of a long time with multi-month breaks before resuming TV broadcasting. This detail was made with the anime’s announcement at the Kadokawa Light Novel Expo back in 2020, which was delayed from October and took place on March 6th and 7th, 2021.

Below is an overview of the staff members and creators behind The Misfit of Demon King Academy Season 2:

Official Release Date

Understandably, fans have been super excited about The Misfit of Demon King Academy Season 2 ever since the idea was teased, although it would be a long waiting time before additional information was shared. The Misfit of Demon King Academy Season 2 release date has been officially confirmed for January 2023, the Winter 2023 anime season.

This release date confirmation was revealed during Aniplex Online Fest 2022, which took place on September 24th, 2022. The official announcement included a bunch of exciting tidbits of info for anticipating fans, such as key visuals, adaptations for fans to expect, as well as an incredible trailer PV.

Anime Voice Cast

In terms of The Misfit of Demon King Academy characters, Season 2 is expected to feature Anos Voldigoad, Sasha Necron, Misha Necron, and others. However, a major change that fans can expect is a switch-up in the main protagonist’s anime voice actor.

The official website announced that Tatsuhisa Suzuki would no longer be voicing Anos on December 10th, 2021, following some scandalous yet tragic events in Suzuki and his wife’s private lives. He also decided to step down from the voice acting role of Ultraman Taro/Kotaro Higashi in Netflix’s Ultraman Season 2 anime, likely due to the same influences.

Following the announcement, the production team confirmed that Anos would be voice acted by Yuuichiro Umehara, an incredibly talented voice actor responsible for bringing various iconic anime characters to life. This is the only major change so far, and was confirmed in a Twitter post, seen below:

He has played a supporting role in popular anime series such as My Hero Academia, alongside main roles in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean, Akudama Drive, Goblin Slayer Season 2, as well as the Cautious Hero anime. Below is an overview of the anime voice-acting cast for The Misfit of Demon King Academy Season 2:

The Misfit of Demon King Academy Season 2 Plot

Writer Jin Tanaka is handling the scripts and series composition and scripts. The Misfit of Demon King Academy Season 1 ended off with Anos preventing the war between the humans and demons – in the midst of a royal teacher named Eldemade Dityjon causing various troubles for Anos. The true identity of the false Demon King Avos Dilhevia was also revealed.

Anos is led to investigate further in the hopes of uncovering the birth of the Great Spirit – which requires him to travel back in time by around 2,000 years. Season 2 will likely see the anime adaptation of Volume 4 within the light novel series, where Anos gets named the Demon Lord while being faced with new enemies from within the Demon Academy.
