Editor’s Note: This post was updated in December 2023 with the latest news regarding Plunderer anime.

Plunderer Season 2 release date

An anime adaptation of Plunderer was announced in the April 2018 issue of Monthly Shōnen Ace, published on February 18, 2018. It was later announced to be an anime television series directed by Hiroyuki Kanbe of the animation studio Geek Toys, with scripts supervised by Masashi Suzuki, character designs provided by Yuka Takashina, Yūki Fukuchi, and Hiroki Fukuda, and a soundtrack composed by Junichi Matsumoto at Nippon Columbia.

The series first aired between January 9 and June 25, 2020, on Tokyo MX and KBS, and later on SUN, TVA, BS11, and AT-X. The series is made up of 24 episodes spread across four Blu-ray box sets. A preview screening of the first episode was held on December 8, 2019, at EJ Anime Theater Shinjuku in Tokyo, with Yoshiki Nakajima, Rina Honnizumi, and Ari Ozawa in attendance.

In North America, the simulcasting was handled by Funimation, which is also planning an English dub for the series. Everything we know about the show’s popularity points to Plunderer coming back at one point or another, and we honestly think that Plunderer is a very likely candidate for renewal.

There is still enough unadapted material for the show to work on even though the manga is over, and its success definitely merits at least a couple of additional seasons. Despite the somewhat tricky content, Plunderer has managed to achieve success, and we can only thank the pandemic for the delayed announcement of a second season.

Taking all of this into account, Plunderer‘s future seems very good. The manga is quite popular, as was the anime series, all of which points to a very probable renewal in the near future. Based on our knowledge of the industry, the second season could appear in 2024 or 2025, although we’ll have to wait for some official news in order to confirm this.

Plunderer Season 2 trailer

You now know all the facts and our thoughts related to Plunderer season 2, which means that you’ve probably deduced for yourselves that there is no trailer for the second season of Plunderer. This is because we do not know whether there will even be a second season of the show, which means that a trailer might not appear at all, but that is not very likely in our opinion.

Plunderer Season 2 plot

At this moment, we do not know which parts of the manga series are going to be adapted in the potential Season 2. Namely, due to a lack of information in general, we have absolutely no clue how far the second season might go. This is why we do not know what awaits us in the potential second season of the show.

Plunderer Season 2 cast

It’s still too early for us to discuss a potential second season of Plunderer in terms of cast and characters simply because we do not know whether there will even be a second season. But, seeing how we know that the series is going to have a more-or-less fixed cast, we really don’t expect to see too many changes in the structure of season two, if it ever happens. Now, the main characters that have appeared in season one, likely to return for a second season, include:

• Licht Bach / Rihito Sakai

Indeed, he has another account engraved on the blade of his saber corresponding to the number of people he has defeated. He is actually one of the legendary red barons. Like every Ace, he wears a mask; he is white, covering his entire face with a tear of blood running down from under his eye.
