Saga of Tanya the Evil II

Saga of Tanya the Evil II finished its broadcast with episodes 11 and 12, which aired by early October 2026. Kadokawa Store has opened pre-orders for merchandise tied to the season, with release scheduled for February 2027.

Synthesized from 9 Yomimono stories · updated Oct 28

Saga of Tanya the Evil II premiered on July 8 on AT-X and other channels, with MYTH&ROID performing the opening theme and Aoi Yuki the ending. Takayuki Yamamoto directs at studio NUT, taking over from Yutaka Uemura, and a mini-anime follows each episode. Crunchyroll began streaming an English dub on the same day it announced it in September, with Monica Rial back as Tanya and Jason Douglas, J. Michael Tatum, and Jeannie Tirado in the cast.

The season's back half narrowed to the Empire's collapse. Episode 5 put the Eastern front at its worst, with Zettour made a scapegoat and planning to use Tanya's forces as bait. Episode 6 framed Zettour's death as the season's emotional core. Episode 7 argued Tanya's goal of a safe, peaceful life is unreachable because the war has broken the government and people. Episode 9 turned to Idola, a neutral country whose poor neutrality left it unprepared for war. Episode 11 scored 4.4 from the community and episode 12 scored 4.5.

The finale had Tanya carrying out a clandestine mission to assassinate Rudersdorf so Zettour could seize power, while fighting Mary and Mikel. Zettour did not end the war, and Imperial armies rolled into Idola. Tanya ends the season baffled by the outcome.

Merchandise moved ahead of the anime's own conclusion. A Kujibikido online lottery ran from August 6 to August 27, 2026, at 770 yen per draw, with an MA-1 style jacket and other items using new Tanya art. Kadokawa Store then opened pre-orders on a separate line of goods, closing November 10, 2026 at 23:59 and shipping in February 2027.
