Berserk of Gluttony Season 2 will premiere in April 2027. The official anime account announced the broadcast window early yesterday morning, revealed a teaser visual for the new season and relaunched the official website. Check out the official post down below:
The Season 2 Teaser Visual
The teaser visual carries the tagline 「E領域（新ステージ）開幕」, which reads as "The E Domain (a new stage) opens." In Season 1, Fate wore a skull mask to keep Roxy from learning who he was. The new art shows him taking that mask off, while Myne looks down at him with a sad expression in front of a glowing red moon.
Season 1 aired in Japan from October 5 to December 21, 2023, on Tokyo MX, SUN and BS11, with EverdreaM performing both the opening theme, "Jekyll & Hyde," and the ending theme, "Ao no Genseki." Crunchyroll streamed the first season outside East Asia, with an English dub starring Garret Storms as Fate, and will stream Season 2 overseas as well. Season 2 was first announced on April 27.
Where Season 2 Picks Up
The anime adapts the light novel series by Ichika Isshiki with illustrations by fame, published by Micro Magazine under its GC Novels label. GC Novels confirmed that Season 2 starts from volume 4 of the original novels:
The new official site carries a Season 2 synopsis. In a world where the strength of a person's skills decides everything, Fate holds the Gluttony skill, which lets him take the skills and stats of anyone he kills. After surviving countless brushes with death alongside his partner, the black sword Greed, Fate returns to the royal capital and takes a new step forward as a Holy Knight. He carries with him the feelings of the time when he was at the very bottom of the world with nothing, but what waits for him in the capital is a new fight over the truth of the world.
From Web Novel To Anime
Isshiki began publishing Berserk of Gluttony on the web novel site Shosetsuka ni Naro in January 2017, and the series later moved to Kakuyomu in 2022. The first print volume came out from GC Novels on November 30, 2017. A manga adaptation drawn by Daisuke Takino began in Micro Magazine's online magazine Comic Ride in March 2018, and won in the "Isekai Comic" category at the 2nd Rakuten Kobo E-book Award in 2024. Seven Seas Entertainment publishes both the novels and the manga in English.
The story follows Fate Graphite, a gatekeeper for a noble family who is mocked for having a useless skill. After he kills a bandit, he learns that Gluttony lets him grow stronger by absorbing other skills, and he goes on to uncover a plot tied to his skill, his friends and his family's lineage. Greed, Myne's Wrath and Eris's Lust are among the skills based on the 7 deadly sins.
The series is billed as a dark fantasy about a hero who keeps beating strong opponents while being thrown around by his own power. The light novels and the manga adaptation have passed 2.2 million copies combined.
