The teaser, described as an 'other version,' features Taro Sakamoto and Shin Asakura, who also appeared on the first teaser. The character trailer introduces three new characters: Etsuko Satoda, Sakamoto's former teacher; Amane Yotsumura, a conflicted student; and Satoru Yatsumura, Amane's elusive father. Daisuke Nakajima takes over as director from Masaki Watanabe, who is now credited as chief director. Studio TMS Entertainment handles animation, with Yo Moriyama returning as character designer and Taku Kishimoto handling series composition. Netflix will again stream the anime worldwide. Season 2 follows Sakamoto and Shin infiltrating JCC, Japan's assassin training institution, to gather information about X, while ORDER members Nagumo, Shishiba, and Osaragi head to Kyoto for an assignment that turns dangerous. The story also digs into the shared past of Sakamoto, Nagumo, Rion, and Slur. Yuto Suzuki's manga has surpassed 15 million copies in circulation worldwide.","whyItMatters":"The new director and the focus on JCC and the assassin training institution suggest Season 2 is expanding the world beyond Sakamoto's immediate family, potentially setting up a longer-running conflict with X.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDaisuke Nakajima takes over as director from Masaki Watanabe, who moves to chief director.
