Arifureta Season 2 Premieres with a Blast and a Declaration of War

Arifureta is yet another harem-themed isekai, but slightly better than the rest due to its protagonist Hajime’s unique character.

Instead of aiming to become a hero who saves the world and lives in glory, Hajime decides to become ruthless and do anything to get back to his world.

Last season we saw the depths of just how callous he can get when he killed Cattleya in cold blood as everyone looked at the sight in horror.

Adding to this, his disregard for everyone except for crew is apparent throughout the story making him a distinctive protagonist among others of the genre.

This is the sole reason why people loved the anime despite its cliche themes and asked for another season, which the franchise provided.

Arifureta anime’s season 2 premiered last week on January 13, 2022, with its first episode featuring a new mission for the Hajime crew and a war declaration.

In this episode, Hajime and his team get attacked by Sand Worms while traveling through the Gruen Desert.

The group then rescued Duke of Ankaji’s son Bize who tells them about his father’s illness that overloads his body with fatal amounts of mana.

It is revealed that Ankaji’s population is also suffering from the same disease due to the water supply’s contamination. Hajime and the girls decide to help Ankaji’s people in need and the Duke.

Meanwhile, in some other part of the world, the Demon Army’s Commander Freid learns of the death of his subordinate Cattleya and the monster army’s fall at the hands of Hajime.

Freid begins to prepare an even ferocious demon army to face Hajime.

The anime’s new season looks like it packs a lot of things you do not want to miss out on. It’s the perfect watch for when you’re looking for something light-hearted yet thrilling.

My excitement levels are pumped up after the first episode, and I can only imagine what will happen next.
