Ishura season 2: What to expect?
Ishura season 1 ended with the Principality of Lithia facing a horrible defeat against the Auretia Kingdom during their war. After the war, the former was hardly recognizable, hinting that the sequel might shift its attention toward the Auretia Kingdom. As seen in the sequel's episode 1, the focus indeed centers on Auretia and a game that would decide a hero.
Regarding the staff, there have been no significant changes. However, the main roles have become more defined, with Yuuki Ogawa (director of Mieruko-chan) now serving as the main director. He has stepped down from his previous roles as the storyboard director and assistant animation director in the prequel.
The premise of the sequel appears to revolve around games that would decide a lone Hero capable of defeating the demon lord. Moreover, the main casting has changed, with Yuno and Soujirou (season 1's protagonists) being removed and placed as supporting characters. A new main character, Kuuro the Cautious, takes center stage in the sequel.
Kuuro the Cautious debuted in the premiere of Ishura season 2 as a mysterious man who slowly uses his clairvoyance powers. He uses a homunculus, Cuneigh the Wanderer, for detecting enemies. As given by the sequel's premiere, Kuuro has been appointed by the Auretia Kingdom for a mission, which he immediately starts after entering the Kingdom.
