It’s always a good sign when FLOW returns to provide the opening for an anime. The band known for “GO!!!” in Naruto and “Colors” in Code Geass now comes back with “Sorrow”, the opening theme for the second season of A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special, confirmed for October 2026. The announcement includes a visual teaser offering the first official look at the new season.

“Sorrow” was created specifically for this second season, indicating FLOW composed new material rather than reusing previous tracks to accompany the story’s continuation of Desir Herman. Alongside the opening and visual, the announcement confirms the first season will be re-aired starting July 2026, a window for both fans to refresh their memory and new viewers to catch up before the second season’s debut. No details on cast, production team, or specific season arcs are available yet; those are expected in the coming months.

About A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special

A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special (Kikansha no Maho wa Tokubetsu Desu) is a webtoon by Wookjakga based on Usonan’s story, published on Kakao Page from September 2016 to August 2019. The webtoon adaptation launched in May 2018. The story follows Desir Herman, a mage who survives the Shadow World’s destruction of the world but is sent thirteen years into the past with all his memories intact. Using this knowledge as his only advantage, Desir aims to reunite with his former companions and prevent the catastrophe that once wiped out humanity. The first season premiered in October 2023, establishing the time-travel dynamics, strategic battles, and team bonds that the second season promises to take further.

Is the FLOW opening enough to get you excited for October, or do you need to see the first trailer before getting hyped for Season 2?
