Bastard!! Heavy Metal Dark Fantasy season 2 is almost back on Netflix screens, and today we’re going to bring you the details you should know about it ahead of its release. If you’re not familiar with Bastard!! Heavy Metal Dark Fantasy, is an anime adaptation of the manga of the same name.
After a lengthy 24-episode run on the popular streaming service, the show comes back to bring us more of the adventures of Dark Schneider, the powerful wizard who almost conquered the planet.
So, if you like dark fantasy adventure ONA and ecchi anime, you’re on time to get up to date with this one because the second season aims to be as powerful and impactful as the debut.
Bastard!! Heavy Metal Dark Fantasy Season 2 Possible Plotlines
Bastard!! Heavy Metal Dark Fantasy revolves around a boy named Lucien, a wizard named Dark Schneider, and how Lucien witnesses as he grows up how Dark Schneider grows ever more powerful and how he plans to rule the world.
Dark Schneider amasses an army and goes violently against the world order trying to conquer it; he splits kingdoms and plays them against each other.
Both the manga and the book itself are packed with references to the heavy metal musical genre; the show puts out all sorts of names, bands, characters, and even places.
Even though, Bastard!! Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy is a manga series; no new chapters have been released since 2012.
Despite the lack of continuity in the manga, the debut season we saw of the anime didn’t include a lot of what was already in the graphic novels. The debut season goes up to volume 5, chapter 40 of the first arc of the series, which is called “The Dark Rebel Armies.”
In the last episode of season 1, called “Wavering,” Dark Schneider and Arshes Nei’s fight comes to an end. Both of them used the strong “Halloween” spell. Just as Dark Schneider’s spell is about to kill Arshes, Lucien tells him that Arshes neither wants to kill him nor wants to die.
This lets Dark Schneider know that Abigail has put a spell called “Accused” on Arshes. In the scene after the credits, he moves the Halloween spell and then rips out his heart to free Arshes of the Accused spell.
In season 2, it’s possible that Dark Schneider will come back to life. Arshes can go back to him, and the two of them can work together to defeat the Dark Rebel Army.
Abigail and Kall-Su might be able to wake up Anthrasax, which would set up a big fight between the ancient being and Dark Schneider. Dark Schneider could end up in hell if he loses.
