In some ways, “By the Grace of the Gods” is similar to other isekai series, such as “KonoSuba” and “My Isekai Life,” which are both set in Japan. The light book series, written by author Roy and illustrated by artist Ririnra, begins with the main character dying and then being reincarnated in a fantasy-themed world.
It’s possible that the main character’s fate in “By the Grace of the Gods” will surpass “KonoSuba” as the most humiliating death in anime history, or at the very least will establish itself as a viable candidate for the honour. After all, only a few television episodes had the main character die as a result of a severe case of sneezing.
However, the adventures that follow in “By the Grace of the Gods” have a different tone from those in “KonoSuba.” However, instead of frenzied humorous escapades in a fantasy world, “By the Grace of the Gods” is a bit more slice of life, with its hero taking his time in the villages he visits and assisting others on a regular basis without the need to engage in conflict.
It wasn’t until 2020 that a successful anime adaptation of the light novels was released. The good news for fans is that a new season of the anime “By the Grace of the Gods” has already been announced for release.
By the Grace of The Gods Season 2 Premiere Date
Season 1 of “By the Grace of the Gods” came to a close in late 2020 after a 12-episode run. For months, fans were left in the dark about whether or not there will be a second season. By the Grace of the Gods” had been on hiatus since its first season, but that changed in June 2021 when the official anime website announced that the second season was currently in development.
Unfortunately, no official release date has been announced for the upcoming season as of this writing. We could expect the new season to premiere in 2022, namely during that year’s fall anime season, at the earliest. Season 1 of the show will launch in October 2020, therefore this would be similar to that season. Unless something changes, “By the Grace of the Gods” should be released no later than 2023.
As for the release of “By the Grace of the Gods” Season 2 in the United States, Funimation has already announced that it will happen. Almost simultaneously with the confirmation of Season 2, Funimation announced that it would stream the next season in its entirety when it airs in Japan. It makes natural that Funimation would confirm its streaming plans for “By the Grace of the Gods” so swiftly, given that the site streamed the first season and created the English dub for the show. Despite the fact that Funimation has not officially confirmed it, it seems likely that it will also do the English dub for the second season.
By the Grace of The Gods Season 2 Cast
Kaho Deguchi, the principal animation director of the anime series “By the Grace of the Gods,” presented a special artwork of the series’ main character Ryoma to mark the development of Season 2 through Funimation. The plot of the series centres around Ryoma, a 39-year-old Japanese salaryman who is reincarnated into a new planet as an 8-year-old kid who is capable of taming hundreds of slime creatures. While Ryoma’s old, uneventful adult life and death by sneezing hard enough to hit his skull and bleed to death are tragic, his adventures in his new world prove to be far more rewarding.
It’s possible that the second season of “By the Grace of the Gods” would bring Ryoma back together with his best friend Eliaria Jamil as well as the rest of the Jamil family. In the young adventurer’s contacts with many people, Eliaria and her family stand out as some of the kindest and most knowledgeable.
According to the official anime website, Eliaria travels to the royal capital in order to devote more time to her magic. Ryoma vows that he would return to see her once three years have passed. Season 2 may include several new characters who have only been seen in the light novels thus far, in addition to returning characters from the first season.
By the Grace of The Gods Season 2 Plot
After avoiding a potential catastrophe caused by dangerous limur birds assaulting a hamlet at the conclusion of Season 1, Ryoma departs from the Jamil family once more, this time heading out to construct a new home for himself. The second season will most likely focus on the various different adventures that Ryoma and his slime creatures find themselves into. While the anime has adhered to the majority of the major plot aspects from the original light novels, there are still additional volumes that could potentially be used for episodes in Season 2.
For example, shortly after leaving the Jamil family in Volume 4 of the novels, Ryoma begins making arrangements for establishing a second economic enterprise. He also embarks on his first successful solo expedition and even attends a wedding that is so grand that it is attended by some of the gods of his planet (via J-Novel Club). The planned second season of the anime series “By the Grace of the Gods” will most likely include a lot of the major events from the light novels.
