Battle in 5 Seconds Season 2 release date

Battle Game in 5 seconds season 2 had been teased in season one; is it officially renewed?

Getting a survival anime mixed with gaming elements and mental martial arts is extremely rare these days. 

We could argue that the isekai trope has dominated the anime industry in recent years, but once in a while, there’s an anime about survival games that pique the interest. 

In a time when Squid Games became an instant hit on TV, it was about time that anime creators looked on to catch the death game-style content hype.

Battle game in 5 seconds is a survival-action anime based on the writings of Saizō Harawata. The plot follows high schooler Akira Shiroyanagi whose only obsession in life is playing video games and konpeito candy.

While crossing the road, Akira gets attacked on the street by a buff mummy that gets out of a car and starts chasing him.Luckily, he’s smart and an ace at playing games (including strategy games) and manages to defeat him, after which he is abducted by catlike girl Mion. 

Akira is brought into a room full of people who had also been abducted to participate in a set of games with progressively deadly stages that put their lives on the line.

To survive in these games, each player is given an ability that remains secret from everyone else. Akira s’ gaming bug takes over as he decides to outsmart everyone and eventually find out the reason behind the sadistic trap.

The battle game in 5 seconds season one had a lukewarm reception, despite which fans are excited about a second season. The final scene of season one teased us with a possible second season but how true is it; let’s find out.
