It features Arthur Leywin and Jasmine Flamesworth taking on dangerous enemies and creatures as they complete quests together alongside new companions. The trailer also introduces new characters Brald, Samantha, and Vio for the first time, and includes a preview of the new opening theme song.
What Happens in Season 2
Arthur, now working as an adventurer, spends his days completing quests alongside Jasmine, sharpening both his swordsmanship and mana control. One day, Brald, an AA-ranked adventurer, invites Arthur and his companions to take on a specific quest. Though the group questions why they were chosen, Arthur decides to accept it as his final quest before entering the Academy. However, an unimaginable tragedy awaits them on the other side of that decision.
About the Story
The Beginning After the End follows King Grey, a once-powerful ruler who dies and gets reincarnated as Arthur Leywin on the magical continent of Dicathen. Despite being reborn as a baby, he retains all of his past wisdom. Over time, Arthur masters magic, builds new relationships, and works to correct the mistakes of his previous life, all while uncovering the secrets behind his mysterious reincarnation.
The franchise is based on TurtleMe’s web novel, which launched on Tapas in January 2017, and a webcomic adaptation that followed in July 2018. Across both formats, the franchise has accumulated over 61.8 million reads and grosses nearly US$500,000 monthly. Yen Press publishes the webcomic in print, with Volume 9 shipping on November 25, 2025.
Notably, The Beginning After the End holds the distinction of being the first anime adaptation of an American web novel and webcomic, as confirmed by Tapas Entertainment.
