Anime "BASTARD! The second season of the anime "BASTARD!!! -The Dark God of Destruction-" "JIGOKU NO REQUIMCA-hen

＜Introduction to the second season "Jigoku no chinkyuha-hen".

Dark Schneider, the great wizard of old who once planned to rule the world. Fifteen years after he was sealed away, the world is threatened by a rebellious army of darkness that plans to resurrect Anthrasax, the god of destruction, and its invasion of the kingdom of Meta-Rikana is imminent.
In the midst of all this, the seal of Dark Schneider is broken by the magic of Tia Noth Yoko, daughter of the High Priestess.
However, after a fierce battle with Abigail, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Dark Rebellion, the kingdom of Meta-Rikana collapses. In the great explosion, all disappeared into the light and were lost.

Two years later...

One of the Four Heavenly Kings, Cal-Su, reigns as the "High King of Ice" with his overwhelming power, leading the Twelve Demon Warlords to form a large army in search of the princess Sheila, who holds the final key to the resurrection of the God of Destruction. Against this, the remnants of the A-Ian Maide Kingdom organized a rebel army led by samurai. The Samurai army clashed repeatedly with the Warlord of Magic in various places. Among the Samurai Army was Tia Noth Yoko, a survivor of the war two years earlier...
The "Hell's Requiem Arc," which was popular in the original story, the holy battle for the last seal of Anthrasax, and the battle of fate between Dark Schneider and Kal-Su, will finally be broadcast as the second season of the anime!

What is "BASTARD! -What is "BASTARD‼!
BASTARD‼!!!-Black God of Destruction" is a manga written by Kazushi Hagiwara, which has sold more than 30 million copies in total. ～The following year, in 1988, the manga was serialized and quickly gained explosive popularity among both men and women alike.
The story combines royal road entertainment with a novel and magnificent setting, an overwhelming fantasy worldview, powerful battles with elements of sword and sorcery, and sexy depictions of cute heroines that might have seemed a bit extreme for a boys' magazine at the time. This work, which depicted such a fascinating story and characters with dense artwork, is also known as "the originator and gold standard of dark fantasy manga," and has influenced many fantasy works that have followed.
