The Aniplex Fest revealed that Heaven Official’s Blessing season 2 will be broadcast with Japanese subtitles from October 19, 2023, at 12:30 am (stylized as October 18, 24.30) on WOWOW. The Japanese dub of season 1 will also be released on October 8 on Tokyo MX and BS11.
Season 2 Japanese dub will be broadcast sometime in January 2024. Crunchyroll will broadcast this season of TGCF in North and South America, Europe, and other countries in October 2023 as well, but no specifics have been given. The official description of season 2 reads as follows:
“The incident at the Crescent Pass was resolved, and days have passed since San Lang has left Xie Lian. One day, Xie Lian is summoned by Junwu to the Heaven Realm. He is informed that a certain Heavenly Official needs to be rescued, and he goes to the Ghost Realm, the territory of the dead.”
The Japanese trailer featured Hiroshi Kamiya (Levi Ackerman in Attack on Titan, Trafalgar Law in One Piece) as the protagonist Xie Lian and the season 1 recap showed Jun Fukuyama (Lelouch Lamperouge in Code Geass, Koro Sensei in Assassination Classroom). Interestingly, while Fukuyama did appear during the Blue Exorcist announcement, he was absent from the TGCF event.
The season 2 trailer was also the first time the viewers heard the Japanese voice of Jun Wu, the Heavenly Emperor. He is apparently played by Takehito Koyasu (Dio Brando in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventures, Toji Fushiguro in Jujutsu Kaisen), but no confirmation has been given regarding this.
