The second cour of the sequel series Yoroi Shinden Samurai Trooper has begun airing. Hina Naota joins the cast as Kaede Narumi, the new DST commander appearing in episode 13. The non-credit opening and ending videos for the second cour have also been released, and Blu-ray BOX volumes 3 and 4 are confirmed.
Hina Naota voices Kaede Narumi, the new DST commander who succeeds Nasty in episode 13 of the sequel series. The character arrives after a three-month time skip following the Yōja Rebellion, with DST restructured under her leadership. Naota provided a comment on the role.
The second cour's opening video, set to Dannie May's "BAD Gene," shows the Samurai Troopers in festival preparations, including suits and happi coats, while the ending video, featuring Karanowa's "Bakemon," contrasts with a monochrome aesthetic and melancholic expressions. The first-generation Samurai Troopers also appear in the ending.
Blu-ray BOX volumes 3 and 4 are scheduled for release, with first-press bonuses including a newly drawn sleeve case by main character designer Yūhei Murota.
