Ranking of Kings season 2 appeared out of thin air in the final days of 2021. It captivated anime fans with its stunning european-fantasy style and an incredibly inspiring story of a young , deaf prince.
The first season of the show was, in truth an absolute masterpiece in contemporary writing for anime. Over 23 episodes, it presented a clever subversive, witty tale of heroes (and the way heroes appear) as well as keeping the audience engaged throughout the show. Additionally, it’s stunning.
With the first season in the rearview mirror What do the next few seasons have in store for the series?
Let’s get that difficult part out first. As of when this article was written there is no confirmation from the producing company WIT Studio nor Fuji TV (the show’s Japanese broadcaster) have confirmed publicly that the second season of Ranking of Kings season two is being planned.
This being said that, a highly positive reception from fans (the show is currently sporting an 85% rating according to Rotten Tomatoes) in conjunction with the increase in manga sales after the anime’s debut, makes us surprised if this continues for a long time.
Ranking of Kings season 2 release date: when will it air?
In the event that we receive a second season in the near future, when can we expect the return of everyone’s favorite boy-king? The best way to gauge is to consider how long it took to complete the first batch of episodes.
Season 1 of the series, titled Ranking of Kings covered the original manga’s first 12 volumes (collecting more than 156 chapters) and is now called “Part 1′.
The first volume came out in February of 2019, however the author Sosuke Toka began writing the series in 2017. The 12th volume was released in December. It required at most three years Toka to create enough content for his adaptation currently in progress.
Volume #13, the start of Part 2, is releasing imminently and lines up with the one-volume-every-four-months pace. For those who keep track currently, the rank for Kings chapter number is 191.
The fans are likely to have to wait around two and half years before Bojji has had enough adventures to warrant the possibility of a second season of the show. If we’re optimistic, and if season 2 gets approved, we can expect it to be released the end of 2024. It could be sooner should WIT Studios decided to produce the second season in 12 episodes instead.
But wait! People who want to know (us including) about what the next chapter is for the anime be aware of an ‘Summer festival Special Event’ day that will take place on July 10 , 2022, on the Tokyo International Forum. Even though it’s being planned to be an event to celebrate the ranking of Kingswith panels that will feature the voice actors and the voice cast, we wouldn’t be shocked to hear that an announcement was made regarding Bojji or Kage’s future.
