The Second Season of The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior Reveals New Trailer

Reincarnating in the body of the worst villain in a video game is usually an automatic death sentence. Changing that cruel fate and ruling with kindness requires a monumental effort. This Thursday, a new trailer was released for the second season of the anime based on the light novel of isekai written by Tenichi and illustrated by Suzunosuke, The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior Season 2 (Higeki no Genkyo to naru Saikyo Gedo Last Boss Joo wa Min no tame ni Tsukushimasu). The committee in charge of the adaptation confirmed that the new episodes will begin airing on Japanese television next April 7.

The preview video included musical novelties for the viewers. The sequences allowed hearing a part of the song "Ego", performed by the band Retroriron and chosen as the opening for this continuation. For the closing sequence, the group Garakuta will take the microphone and provide the ending titled "Tarareba".

About the Work

Tenichi began uploading the original story of the villainess through the website Shosetsuka ni Naro in April 2018. The publisher Ichijinsha acquired the rights to print the physical work a year later. The success of the novel led to a manga adaptation by Akiko Kawano in June 2023. This printed format restarted its publication recently in March 2025 under the title The Savior's Pride to cover a new story arc.

Synopsis of The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen

The plot follows Pride Royal Ivy, the fearsome final boss and future queen of an otome game. At eight years old, the girl recovers the memories of her past life as a normal Japanese student. Upon realizing the irreparable atrocities she will commit in the future, she decides to change the script. Using her royal authority and her enormous combat skills, she creates a master plan to protect the characters she was originally supposed to destroy. Her only goal is to avoid the ruin of the kingdom and become a just ruler.
