The main trailer for the first cour of Aoashi Season 2 has been released. It comes with previews of the cour’s opening and ending theme songs, “Fortress Defense” by 10-FEET and “Triangle” by Ai Higuchi.
Aoashi is an adaptation of the manga by Yugo Kobayashi. Titan Manga describes the manga’s synopsis as such:
To the world stage! Glory and ambition lie ahead of young Ashito Aoi as he takes the first steps to becoming a pro soccer player. But after being catapulted into a new harsh environment, can he hold onto his spider’s thread and climb his way to the top?
A fateful encounter on Futami Beach in Ehime, Japan leads to the meeting between Fukuda Tatsuya; once a rising star and a player on the cusp of greatness whose career ended all too soon, and Aoi Ashito; a brash and hot-headed striker who loves soccer despite his selfish tendencies.
After being selected to try out for the Tokyo City Esperion Youth club, Ashito Aoi stakes his future on the chance to create a better life for his single mother and older brother, all while realizing his own shortcomings and dealing with the highly competitive world of J-Youth Soccer.
The Aoashi manga started serialization in Shogakukan’s Weekly Big Comic Spirits in January 2015 and received its 40th and final volume in 2025. The anime’s first season, which was directed by Akira Sato (Kinnikuman Perfect Origin Arc, Release the Spyce) at Production I.G, first aired in 2022.
Aoashi Season 2 will begin airing on October 4. It will run for 24 episodes.
