Overview

  • Crunchyroll President Rahul Purini expressed hope for a third season but confirmed no official renewal has been made yet.
  • Producers revealed that each episode requires 10–12 months to complete, emphasizing the need for careful planning to maintain quality.
  • Creators Sota Furuhashi and Atsushi Kaneko called on fans to show support, likening it to gathering energy for a 'Spirit Bomb' to push for renewal.
  • Suggestions include delaying Season 3 until the next Olympics to allow animators adequate time and avoid compromising the show's high standards.
  • Season 2's success, including its status as Crunchyroll’s most-watched anime in Q1 2025, has heightened expectations for future installments.
