The battle for the Magic Capital is just getting started! The official website for the TV anime "Mato Seihei no Slave" (also known as Chained Soldier) has confirmed that its highly anticipated second season will premiere on January 8, 2026.
Premiere Date: January 8, 2026
Studios: Passione, Hayabusa Film
Status: Confirmed for Winter 2026
Production Shift: Passione and Hayabusa Film Take the Reins
The second season brings a notable shift in production, with Passione and Hayabusa Film stepping in to lead the charge. Fans can expect a continuation of the high-octane action and supernatural power dynamics that made the first season a standout hit. Early previews suggest that the production team is doubling down on the gritty, atmospheric aesthetic that defines the Anti-Demon Corps' lethal encounters within the Magic Capital.
Return to the Mato: Higher Stakes and Deadlier Foes
Picking up right where the explosive first season left off, the elite troops of the Anti-Demon Corps are set to face even more formidable Shuuki. The narrative promises to dive deeper into the internal conspiracies brewing within the Mato, testing the limits of duty and sacrifice. The central bond between Yuuki and his masters remains the narrative anchor, providing a localized emotional core amidst the grand-scale supernatural warfare.
Beyond the Contract: The Evolving Dynamic of the Anti-Demon Corps
The complex relationship between Kyouka Uzen and Yuuki Wakura is slated for further exploration. As Yuuki adapts to his unique role within the various squads, the series is expected to pull back the curtain on the backstories of the other squad leaders. This blend of character-driven drama and high-stakes combat ensures that the "contract" between master and servant remains one of the most compelling dynamics in modern action anime.
Final Verdict: Mark Your Calendars for January 8th
Mato Seihei no Slave Season 2 is positioning itself as a cornerstone of the Winter 2026 lineup. With a fresh production team and an escalating war on the horizon, the January 8th premiere is shaping up to be an unmissable event for fans of the series.
