The Beginning After the End Season 2 Opening Video Released: Jasmine in Danger!
The popular series The Beginning After the End (TBATE), which has millions of fans worldwide, is preparing to return to screens with its highly anticipated second season. Ahead of the new season starting on April 2, 2026, the production team released the "non-credit" opening video featuring action-packed scenes from the series. The new season's opening theme, "Sayonara janai hou ga ii", is performed by the famous rock band SIX LOUNGE, and the video includes striking glimpses of Arthur Leywin's new adventures.
The first episode of the second season begins with a critical situation for one of the fans' favorite characters, Jasmine Flamesworth. According to leaked information, Arthur and Jasmine join forces with the AA-rank adventurer Brald for their final mission before entering Xyrus Academy. However, this mission, which seems routine, turns into an unexpected tragedy and a conflict that puts Jasmine's life in danger. These scenes signal that the series will raise the bar even higher from where the first season left off.
The name behind the series, American author TurtleMe (Brandon Lee), continues to serve as the story consultant and executive producer of the project. While the animation production is once again handled by Studio A-Cat, Keitaro Motonaga sits in the director's chair. It is evident from the fluidity in the opening video that the studio, which received mixed feedback from fans regarding the animation quality of the first season, has worked more meticulously on fight choreographies and visual effects in the second season.
The Beginning After the End follows the story of King Grey, who dies mysteriously and is reborn as Arthur Leywin on the continent of Dicathen, a world filled with magic and monsters. Retaining the wisdom of his past life, Arthur strives to grow stronger to protect his family and make up for his past mistakes in this new world. The second season will cover the "Adventurer Arc," one of the most beloved parts of the series, and Arthur's transition to his academy years, grounding the story in a deeper political and magical conflict. New episodes will be available to viewers worldwide via Crunchyroll.
