Fran and Teacher are going to sea. Reincarnated as a Sword Season 2 has released a new trailer for its next storyline, the Seedrun Arc, through the anime's official website, alongside a second key visual and five new cast members joining the pair as their journey reaches the water.
The trailer opens with Teacher urging Fran onward — "Alright, Fran! Get excited for the ocean!" — before moving through the port of Seedrun, where the pair meet the arc's new characters, and into battle footage from the episodes ahead. The ending theme Bari Bari Buddy by HANABIE. plays over the preview, which runs about a minute and forty seconds.
Watch the new trailer for the Seedrun Arc below:
The new key visual, released with the trailer, shows Fran at night in her black cloak with its red fur collar, holding Teacher with his glowing blue blade angled downward. She is flanked by the arc's new faces — a short red-haired figure and a silver-haired woman in white on one side, a blonde girl and boy in white-and-blue on the other — with a dark castle and a huge shadowy dragon-like silhouette looming behind them under a night sky.

What is Reincarnated as a Sword about?
Reincarnated as a Sword is based on the fantasy isekai light novel series written by Yuu Tanaka and illustrated by Llo, published by Micro Magazine under its GC Novels imprint since 2016 and running to 21 volumes as of September 2026, with a manga adaptation by Tomowo Maruyama. Seven Seas Entertainment releases the light novels and manga in English. The story follows a man reincarnated into another world as a sentient sword, and the young cat-girl who takes him up and names him Teacher.
HIDIVE describes the series as follows:
Some isekai protagonists are reincarnated as powerful warriors or skilled wizards, but our protagonist was reborn in another life as a sentient sword! He’s taken up by Fran, a desperate girl fleeing evil-doers intent on selling her into slavery. With her new weapon’s help and guidance, she’s able to strike down her captors and secure her freedom. Together, this unconventional master-student duo embark on an epic journey to liberate those in need and exact justice on the cruel of heart.
Season 2 began in Japan on October 7, 2026, and streams internationally on HIDIVE. The Seedrun Arc begins with Episode 6 on November 11, 2026.
