The Beginning After the End premiere recap

The Beginning After the End episode 1, The Rebirth of the King, commenced with a focus on King Grey and his reincarnation as Arthur Leywin. After realizing he was inside a new body, King Grey failed to understand why he couldn't control his body (as he was a baby). However, with the love given by his parents, Grey soon realized himself as Arthur Leywin.

As time passed, Arthur started researching his new world. Through a book inside his mother's library, the protagonist learned that he lived inside one of the kingdoms of the Dicathen continent. Later, whenever Arthur tried to go out of his way to learn something, his parents picked him up and pampered him. Arthur failed to understand their love because, as King Grey, he was rejected.

Time passed, and Arthur now reached an age where he could walk. So, he witnessed his father's magic abilities and also visited the local market with his mother. During this time, Arrhur learned the gist of how magic worked in this new world and started working on awakening his magic core. While he did so, his parents always avoided leaving him alone.

However, one day, after urging his mother to leave him alone with a book, Arthur awakened his magic core and blew half of the house away. His parent, injured, arrived to look at their child, only to witness him flying midair. As his parents hugged him, Arthur became adamant that he would protect his parents for the rest of his life.

What to expect from The Beginning After the End episode 2?

The Beginning After the End episode 2 is titled The King Under Attack. As stated in the episode's preview synopsis, the next installment will see Arthur's parents travel toward the Floating City of Xyrus after the male protagonist awakened his magic core in the anime's premiere.

Accompanying them will be the Two Thorns, a party of adventurers with whom Arthur's father spent a lot of time in the past. As they travel towards the Floating City, they encounter bandits and things might get complicated.
