The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World Season 2 is the anticipated sequel of the popular yuri-isekai anime which recently ended and fans are already up with the demands for a second season. 

So here’s everything we know so far regarding whether or not The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World will happen in 2023, as well as the likely release date.

The Japanese anime The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World also known as “Saikyou Onmyouji no Isekai Tenseiki” in Japanese is an adaptation of the light novel series written by Kiichi Kosuzu and illustrated by Shiso and Kihiro Yuzuki.

The story follows the strongest exorcist in the world who is betrayed and killed and uses a rebirth spell to reincarnate in an alternate world but here he can’t use magic.

Studio Blanc animated the anime’s first season, officially running for 12 episodes from January 7, 2023, to April 1, 2023, on various local networks in Japan.

Crunchyroll streamed the anime outside of Japan with both sub and dub, and it received a positive reception from viewers and critics alike. Many praised it for the way they presented the protagonist who knows well enough to overpower the main character trope.

As of April 2023, The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World Season 2 doesn’t have a release date as it is not confirmed yet.  However, if a new season is confirmed, it is likely to air sometime in late-2025, or possibly in early-2026.

This is because it will take around 1-2 years for enough source material to accumulate. Additionally, it typically takes around 1-2 years to create a new season.

As of now, no official announcements have been made yet, hence the readers need to keep in mind that these are just speculations.

But, keep an eye out for this space as we will update it as soon as something official is announced. We can expect the announcement in the next few months.

Saikyou Onmyouji no Isekai Tenseiki Season 2 Countdown:

Based on the following information, here is the countdown to the premiere of Saikyou Onmyouji no Isekai Tenseiki’s second season.

Countdown

The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World Season 2 Renewal Status: Confirmed or Cancelled

As of writing, Studio Blanc, the publisher Futabasha, or any other member of the production committee member has not officially renewed the anime for a second season.

A lot of anime manage to get a new season right after the season finale but unfortunately, The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World wasn’t one of them.

Production Studios consider various financial and commercial metrics before announcing a renewal and it is possible to speculate whether an anime will get a new season or not by carefully evaluating these three factors:

  • Availability of source material
  • Sales
  • Popularity

I have used the same method for Eminence in Shadow, Takagi-san and World Trigger and so far it has proven to work.

So now we will examine these factors to see if The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World with anime will get a sequel or not.

Is there enough source material available for The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World Season 2?

The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World anime is based on the light novel series written by Kiichi Kosuzu.

It first started publication on the user-generated novel publishing website Shōsetsuka ni Narō (Let’s Become Novelist) in December 2018.

It was later acquired by Futabasha who published the series in physical form with illustrations drawn by Shiso (for the first volume) and Kihiro Yuzuki (for the rest of the volumes) under their M Novels imprint.

They later republished the series with Yuunagi as the new illustrator in July 2022 under their Monster Bunko label.

A total of five volumes have been released so far, and the light novel is still ongoing.

The first season of the anime adapted the first 4 volumes leaving behind only one volume worth of content to adapt which isn’t enough to create another 13-episode anime season.

Conclusion: For now our biggest concern for this show’s contention is the lack of source material for the anime since it is the backbone of any anime.

It will take year another two years for enough chapters to collect due to the novel’s slow volume release.

But on the bright side, the story is still ongoing, and author Kiichi Kosuzu has a long-term plan for the story. Thus, the future of The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World Season 2 remains bright.

The only problem is that it will take a very long time for the story to get to a point where they can animate another season.

Light Novel Sales and Profitability

The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World light novel status

Before we proceed, it’s important to understand that most of the anime we watch today are created primarily to promote and boost the sales of its source material (in this case light novel).

Sales from the light novel and related merchandise are the main source of income for the producers, while revenue from advertising fees, online streaming licensing, and Blu-ray sales are considered secondary

Typically, a 12-episode anime television series costs around $3,000,000 to produce.

Therefore, an anime has to make back this much money through merchandise sales and licensing fees to ensure a new season from the producers.

As of December 2022, The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World had reached a circulation count of 1 million copies across the light novel, manga and digital downloads.

However, do note that this count is from before the anime aired and has not been updated for 3 months now and doesn’t account for the boost it received from the anime adaptation.

Anime adaptations have been known to have a significant impact on the sales and popularity of their source material. This was demonstrated by the success of “How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom,” which saw a near-doubling of its sales within six months of its anime premiere and Ao Ashi and Isekai Ojisan saw a similar increment.

Conclusion: typically, a light novel with 500,000 to 1,000,000 copies in circulation is considered successful, so the series is performing well in that regard.

Moreover, as we mentioned earlier, the above count hasn’t been updated for over 3 months now during which three new volumes were released and does not include the boost in sales that the series received from the anime adaptation so there is a chance that the count might have crossed 1.5 million circulation count by now.

Blu-ray/ DVDs and other Merchandise sales

While Blu-rays and DVDs are no longer key players in determining anime success as they used to be back in the 2010s, they are still a great tool to understand a show’s popularity among the general Japanese audience. In general, if an anime’s disc sales are over 3,000, a second season would be promising.

As for The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World, the first Blu-ray/DVD box is set to release on May 26, 2023. We will update this section with the sales numbers as soon as they will be posted on the Oricon website.

Popularity in Japan and the West

The light novel “The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World” was already quite popular among isekai lovers in Japan as evidenced by how It began as a web novel and gained immense popularity, which led to its adaptation into light novels.

With its increasing popularity, the series was greenlit for a manga adaptation by Toshinori Okazaki.

The anime’s debut in Japan was highly anticipated, and it quickly became one of the most-watched shows of the Winter 2023 season. It ranked top on several streaming websites, including the D-Anime Store and AbemaTV and was one of the most-talked shows on the internet.

The debut run of Saikyou Onmyouji no Isekai Tenseiki anime received a positive reception from fans in the West, with many viewers and critics praising it for being even better than the source material in some aspects.

The series has garnered positive reviews from viewers around the world, earning a solid score of 7.2 on MyAnimeList and ranking at #1632 in popularity, with more than 122k members in its MAL group.

It has also received an amazing score of 7.1/10 on IMDb and a 71% approval rating on AniList. This shows that the show’s popularity is very high even though it is a young series.

It’s almost funny how all four isekai anime which aired in the winter of 2023 including Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady, Farming Life in Another World, Campfire Cooking in Another World and The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World all have an identical rating across all three platforms along with the same amount of members.

In conclusion, the series gained a significant following in both Japan and the West and generated a ton of revenue from merchandise sales, indicating that it has a strong and loyal fanbase.

The only problem is the lack of source material, but if the manga manages to keep the hype alive by continuing to release volumes at a steady pace and the producers remain interested, then we may be able to expect a sequel in the near future.

On the other hand, here’s a trailer for the first season, which you should watch to recall how memorable the previous one was.

Final Words !!

In summary, there is a good chance that The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World Season 2 will happen. If that is the case, we should hear some news about it this year. But don’t expect the release date for the second season to be before 2023 since it takes time for a new season to be animated.
