What to expect from The Misfit of Demon King Academy season 2?

Season 1 of The Misfit of Demon King Academy adapted the first three volumes of Shu’s original light novel series covering the Demon King Academy arc, Demon Sword Tournament arc, and Hero Academy arc.

The anime’s second season will be picked up from the fourth volume, titled Act 1, beginning the Great Spirit arc. The sequel will be a split-cour season, with the first half comprising 12 episodes in total.

The endless war between demons and humans has been successfully thwarted after Anos accepts defeat from Lay Grandslay. The former will now be facing an old rival, the god responsible for creating order called Nosgalia, commonly known as the Heavenly Father, in the new season.

During the mythical age, Nosgalia took an oath to destroy Anos and return order to the world. Moreover, several rivals of Anos’ past will return to finish what they started two thousand years ago in the upcoming installment.

A brief recap of what happened last time

Masquerading as Avos Dilhevia, Lay tried to wage war against humanity with three of the elder demon emperors. While confronting Anos, Lay unmasked himself and revealed his identity as the reincarnation of Hero Kanon. During their fight, Anos destroyed six out of the seven magical sources of Lay. However, the former allowed the latter to defeat him to end humans' hatred of demons.

Unable to accept the outcome, Diego ordered the Zeshia clones to self-destruct. Jerga refused to believe that the world had reached a state of peace. However, he eventually got defeated by Anos and Lay. Anos rejoined Misha and Sasha, and Eleanore became his magic. Meanwhile, Lay rejoined Misa, and everyone returned to the demon realm.
