A “misread hero” is back. Nageki no Borei Season 2 turns Cry Andrich’s alleged brilliance into even bigger chaos—while his monster-tier crew keeps overdelivering. With an opening by Kiyono Yasuno and an ending by i☆Ris, Zero-G aims for sharper action, timing, and laughs.
Why Cry’s “genius” keeps snowballing in the new cour
Cry doesn’t plan—he survives. But everyone around him keeps reading his timid calls as galaxy-brain strategy, so quests scale up, stakes spike, and punchlines land harder. Season 2 leans into that gap: a risk-averse “leader” paired with overpowered friends becomes a runaway legend.
Kiyono Yasuno sets the tone while i☆Ris sends you out smiling
The new opening by Kiyono Yasuno primes heavier dungeon beats, while i☆Ris closes each episode on a bright release. Watch for single info and jacket art as they drop—this pair frames the cour’s mix of danger, deadpan, and payoff.
Zero-G returns with crisper staging, timing, and reaction gags
Back at the helm, Zero-G tightens comedic timing so reaction shots hit as hard as sword swings. Director Masahiro Takata and writer Hideki Shirane keep the “misunderstanding engine” purring, while designers Yusuke Isochi and Shingo Fujisaki refine silhouettes for clean reads amid chaos.
From dungeon mishaps to legend-making: the escalation loop
Season 2 promises bigger labyrinths, tighter set pieces, and messier PR for Cry. Every “please don’t” becomes “please do,” every cautious memo gets treated like a masterplan, and accidents snowball into feats the Empire will sing about.
Voices powering the joke—and how they fuel the mismatch
Kensho Ono anchors Cry’s deadpan while Miyu Kubota, Fairouz Ai, Konomi Kohara, Tomokazu Sugita, Kohei Amasaki, Aoi Koga and others bring lethal competence. The comedy lives in that mismatch: a cautious guy, framed by legends, credited for miracles he never meant.

Start here if you’re new: the misread-hero formula explained
It’s simple: Cry avoids risk; his friends excel; the world misreads his caution as 4D chess. That gap drives the gags, the stakes, and the myth. Skim Season 1’s finale beats, then dive into Season 2 for louder payoffs and a refreshed music package.
