Tanya Degurechaff has been making us wait since 2021, and on July 8, 2026, the wait ends. Saga of Tanya the Evil II (Second season of Youjo Senki) confirms its premiere date along with the musical themes, the new mini anime accompanying each episode, and the first cast members joining the second season. Everything suggests the return of the Rhine Devil isn’t half measures.

MYTH&ROID returns to handle the opening, as they did in the first season. The theme is called “Why? RED induction” and the group wrote, arranged, and performed it. The ending “Weiter! Weiter!” is back in the hands of Aoi Yuki as Tanya Degurechaff, with lyrics by hotaru and music by Masayuki Nakano.

In addition to the main anime, the second season will come with a mini anime titled “Yojo Shenki 2” that will air immediately after each episode and be available on the official channel for two weeks. This mini anime will focus on the new members of the Salamander Kampfgruppe.

About Saga of Tanya the Evil

Saga of Tanya the Evil(Youjo Senki) is a light novel by Carlo Zen with illustrations by Shinobu Shinotsuki that began publication in 2013 and has fourteen volumes. The manga adaptation by Chika Tojo exceeds thirty-four volumes. The first anime season premiered in January 2017, followed by a theatrical film in February 2019. The story follows Tanya Degurechaff, a child soldier hiding the mind of a calculating ex-salaryman from Japan reincarnated in an alternate world of war and magic. Her ruthless strategic intelligence and obsession with survival have made her one of the most unique characters in the isekai genre, in a series where dark humor and military tactics coexist without asking permission.

Is the return of MYTH&ROID in the opening enough to make the second season feel like home, or do you need to see the first episode to decide?
