The Vampire Dies in No Time Season 2 release date is on January 9, 2023, the Winter 2023 anime season.

The 2nd season will have 12 episodes in total released as three Blu-Ray and DVD volumes.

The exact Kyuuketsuki Sugu Shinu Season 2 release date was announced by a new trailer PV that came out on November 28, 2022.

The announcement of the premiere time frame was made by a Kyuuketsuki Sugu Shinu Season 2 trailer that came out on August 8, 2022.

The production decision for the second season was announced by the official website and Twitter account when the first season’s finale aired. But this announcement was accidentally leaked ahead of time.

The announcement of The Vampire Dies in No Time Season 2 production was attached to manga Volume 19, which comes out on January 7, 2022. The announcement of the second season was listed on the manga pre-order page on Amazon Japan.

“The second series of the TV anime will be produced! Instant death is fine! The more you die, the more interesting it gets!” stated the announcement.

The exact same announcement was also on the Japanese retail Rakuten. Several days later, the announcements were removed from the respective production description sections, but the one on Rakuten can still be viewed through Google Cache.

Having the second season be announced in this manner isn’t too surprising considering that the first season was initially announced in Weekly Shonen Champion Issue 23, 2020.

Based on the quick turnaround time, KyuuShi Season 2 will feature a returning main staff at Japanese animation Studio Madhouse, which is best known in recent years for No Game No LifeOverlordOne Punch ManNo Guns Life, and The Irregular at Magic High School (the 2020 Mahouka Season 2 anime and 2022 The Irregular at Magic High School Season 3 anime were produced solely by Studio 8bit).

In 2021, Studio Madhouse also released the Sonny Boy and Takt op. Destiny original anime TV shows. In the future, the Overlord Season 4 release date is set for 2022. They’re also releasing notables such as and the Goodbye, DonGlees! movie (same director as the No Game No Life anime).

This article provides everything that is known about The Vampire Dies in No Time Season 2 (Kyuuketsuki Sugu Shinu Season 2, KyuuShi Season 2) and all related news. As such, this article will be updated over time with news, rumors, and analysis. Meanwhile, let’s delve down into what is known for certain.

FUNimation’s The Vampire Dies in No Time English dub release date

The first season of The Vampire Dies in No Time anime was initially only streaming with English subtitles on FUNimation (not Crunchyroll, VRV, Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime Video). The FUNimation Simuldub scheduled for Fall 2021 originally only listed the first season as being a Simulcast, not a SimulDub.

Here is The Vampire Dies in No Time dub cast:

  • Ian Sinclair as Ronaldo
  • Frank Todaro as Draluc
  • Ellie Dritch as John
  • Austin Sisk as Kameya
  • Kyle Igneczi as Rokuon
  • Justin Duncan as Bubuo
  • Hope Endrenyi as Eri
  • Bryce Papenbrook as Gamer Boy
  • Jack Reeder as Manager

FUNimation’s The Vampire Dies in No Time English dub release date was on November 22, 2021.

Presumably, a The Vampire Dies in No Time Season 2 English dub will be released in the future.

Kyuuketsuki Sugu Shinu Season 2 release date was planned in advance

As previously noted, the exact The Vampire Dies in No Time Season 2 release date is on January 9, 2023.

The release schedule is similar to how Madhouse handled the Overlord anime and the No Guns Life anime. Rather than being labeled as a slit-cour anime season, Overlord Season 2 and 3 had two separately listed seasons despite being broadcast only three months apart. That meant the back-to-back seasons were planned in advance.

KyuuShi Season 2 is actually more similar to the Madhouse-produced No Guns Life anime. That anime project took a TV broadcasting break of six months before returning.

Therefore, that’s why The Vampire Dies in No Time Season 2 release date will be in Winter 2023.

The Vampire Dies in No Time manga creator Itaru Bonnoki suffers from health problems

The story for the anime TV show is based on The Vampire Dies in No Time manga series by creator Itaru Bonnoki.

Like many manga creators, Bonnoki suffers from health problems. The creator took a hiatus/break due to a sudden illness from the entire month of April 2021, then a second week-long break in September 2021.

Serialized in Akita Shoten’s Weekly Shonen Champion magazine since June 2015, the manga series was up to Volume 21 as of June 8, 2022.

Unfortunately, no North American publisher has announced an official English The Vampire Dies in No Time English translation. There are fan-made translation projects but they’re currently far behind the Japanese language chapters, which numbered over 200 when the anime’s first season launched.

KyuuShi manga compared to the anime

Since it’s a gag comedy where many of the manga chapters are self-contained stories rather than long-running story arcs it’s no surprise that Studio Madhouse reordered the presentation of events. Some manga chapters were skipped outright, but at least the anime’s adaptation pacing allowed the comedic timing to remain true to the source material.

Here’s a guide to how the anime adapted the first season:

  • The Vampire Dies in No Time Episode 1: Chapters 1, 2
  • The Vampire Dies in No Time Episode 2: Chapters 4, 5, 6
  • The Vampire Dies in No Time Episode 3: Chapters 7, 9, 10
  • The Vampire Dies in No Time Episode 4: Chapters 8, 13, 14
  • The Vampire Dies in No Time Episode 5: Chapters 16, 15, 17
  • The Vampire Dies in No Time Episode 6: Chapters 25, 26, TBA
  • The Vampire Dies in No Time Episode 7: Chapters TBA
  • The Vampire Dies in No Time Episode 8: Chapters TBA
  • The Vampire Dies in No Time Episode 9: Chapters TBA
  • The Vampire Dies in No Time Episode 10: Chapters TBA
  • The Vampire Dies in No Time Episode 11: Chapters TBA
  • The Vampire Dies in No Time Episode 12: Chapters TBA

All in all, due to the way the anime skips around in the manga timeline it’s difficult to predict which chapter will correspond to the first season’s finale in Kyuuketsuki Sugu Shinu Episode 12.

The good news is that there is plenty of source material for making The Vampire Dies in No Time Season 2. English-only manga readers can also go back and read the chapters skipped by the anime adaptation.

The bad news is that the first season will probably adapt chapters not yet translated into English by fan-made projects so it probably won’t be possible to read ahead of the anime until the fan projects catch up.

Unfortunately, that means anime fans will need to wait until The Vampire Dies in No Time Season 2 release date to watch what happens next. Stay tuned!
