Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku has just released a new promotional video for its highly anticipated second season, which reveals the ending theme song “PERSONAL”, performed by the Japanese band Queen Bee. Scheduled to premiere on January 11, 2026, in Brazil, the sequel arrives to continue the bloody quest for immortality on the mysterious island, while maintaining the same successful creative team from studio MAPPA. The new season is relevant because the first one won over global fans in 2023, establishing itself as one of the darkest and most visually impactful shonen series of today.
The anime airs in Japan on TV Tokyo and, just 30 minutes later, will be available for streaming on platforms such as Amazon Prime Video and Netflix, ensuring that the Brazilian audience can follow Gabimaru’s saga almost in real-time. Due to the success of the manga’s narrative, which blends visceral action with supernatural elements, expectations are high to see how the animation will continue the events on the island. Thus, fans can prepare for more intense fights and dramatic twists.
Production Team Maintains Quality
Director Kaori Makita returns to helm the episodes, guaranteeing the continuity of the unique visual style that marked the first season. Furthermore, the musical composition is once again handled by Yoshiaki Dewa, while character design remains in the hands of Akitsugu Hisagi. However, there are some changes in the support team: Chika Toda takes over as the new composition photography director, and Junichi Higashi is the new art director, bringing fresh perspectives to the project. Therefore, the solid foundation remains, but with new talents to enhance the production.
For the opening, fans can expect the powerful track “Kasuka na Hana” (Faint Flower), performed by Tatsuya Kitani in collaboration with the idol-metal group BABYMETAL, promising an energetic contrast with Queen Bee’s ending theme. The story continues to follow Gabimaru, the strongest ninja seeking a royal pardon through a deadly mission, and his complex relationship with the executioner Sagiri. Meanwhile, the original manga, concluded in 2021, has already spawned stage adaptations and even a mobile game, showing the lasting strength of the franchise in the Japanese and international entertainment market.
