A main trailer and key visual for Ishura Season 2 have been released.
It was also announced that the show will start airing on January 8, 2025 JST.
Ishura is based on the light novel series written by Keiso with illustrations from Kureta, which began in 2019 and has 10 volumes as of December 17, 2024 JST. Yen Press describes the premise of the books as:
In a world where the Demon King has died, a host of demigods capable of felling him have inherited the world. A master fencer who can figure out how to take out their opponents with a single glance; a lancer so swift they can break the sound barrier; a wyvern rogue who fights with three legendary weapons at once; an all-powerful wizard who can speak thoughts into being; an angelic assassin who deals instant death. Eager to attain the title of “True Hero,” these champions each pursue challenges against formidable foes and spark conflicts among themselves. The battle to determine the mightiest of the mighty begins.
Ishura was originally a web novel that began serialization on Kakuyomu and Shousetsuka ni Narou in 2017. The anime’s first season aired during the Winter 2024 anime season and was streamed by Hulu in the US and on Disney+ for the rest of the world.
The light novels are published under KADOKAWA’s Dengeki no Shinbungei label and have inspired a manga adaptation by Meguri. Ishura was the first-ranked title in This Light Novel is Amazing 2021’s tankoubon/novels category.
