Original: A new, English-subtitled trailer for Reincarnated as a Sword Season 2 has been released. The upcoming TV anime also received a key visual.
Reincarnated as a Sword is based on the light novels written by Yu Tanaka and illustrated by Llo. The synopsis reads:
A nameless sword wakes up to discover he has been reincarnated from his former life as a human. With his power of telekinesis, he moves around this new world, acquiring several skills and abilities. When the sword comes upon a forest filled with monsters, he meets a young girl fleeing from a beast. Grabbing the sword, the girl easily defeats the monster. After introducing herself as Fran, she names the sword “Shishou” and officially becomes his wielder. The two set out to become adventurers, but unfortunately for Fran, she is a member of the Black Cat Tribe—a Beastkin group with a bad reputation. No member of this tribe has ever evolved into a mightier beast, but Fran plans to be the first and achieve her parents’ dream. As Shishou promises to remain her sword until she attains her goal, they form an unstoppable partnership of impressive strength.
The light novel series, which is published under Micro Magazine’s GC Novels label and has an English release from Seven Seas Entertainment, began in 2016 and will get its 21st volume on September 30, 2026. There is a manga adaptation by Tomowo Maruyama, the manga spin-off Reincarnated as a Sword: Another Wish by Hinako Inoue, and a webtoon adaptation. The story first started as a web novel on Shosetsuka ni Naro in 2015.
The first season of the Reincarnated as a Sword anime aired in 2022.
Reincarnated as a Sword Season 2 will begin airing in October. HIDIVE has picked it up for streaming and will premiere the show in North America at Anime NYC 2026 on August 22.
