"Shibuya Incident" takes place back in present day 2018 as the Sorcerers and Curses engage in an all-out war in Shibuya on Halloween night.
For the second season's first five episodes (covering the "Hidden Inventory / Premature Death" arc), Tatsuya Kitani performed the opening theme song "Where Our Blue Is" (青のすみか, Ao no Sumika) while Soushi Sakiyama performed the ending theme song "Akari" (燈).[6] For episode six onwards (covering the "Shibuya Incident" arc), King Gnu performed the opening theme song "Specialz" while Hitsujibungaku performed the ending theme song "More Than Words".[7][8] The season is licensed by Crunchyroll for streaming outside of Asia, and began streaming an English dub on July 20, 2023.[9][10]
