The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System, the GoHands-animated adaptation of the Kodansha Young Magazine series with more than 5 million copies in circulation, today unveiled the key visual, main PV, theme songs and four additional cast members for Part 2, which continues streaming dubbed and subtitled on Crunchyroll this fall.

The new key visual assembles the characters at the center of the Part 2 story. Elymas stands front and center, sword drawn and fighting spirit written across his face, with Ruche, who has grown more gallant through everything the two have survived together, at his side. Around them are the four adventurers who bring the new arc to life: Carlos, composed and unreadable; Hilde, sharp with curiosity; Kelt, bow drawn; and Maebel, quietly resolute. New faces, new alliances, and a new adventure awaits.

The Part 2 opening theme is “Rewrite the Answer” by Tokoyami Towa, and the ending theme is “Contemporary Dance” by PompadollS. Joining the cast are Kosuke Tanabe as Kelt, Tsugumi Sakuragi as Maebel, Misaki Kuno as Hilde and Kengo Kawanishi as Carlos.

The Part 2 main PV opens in the aftermath of the fierce battle with Malice, as Elymas and Ruche arrive in Lacoryna, the city of adventurers. Set to “Contemporary Dance,” the ending theme performed by PompadollS, the video introduces Hilde, Maebel, Kelt and Carlos in quick succession alongside high-velocity action from Elymas and Ruche, captured through the free-roaming camerawork only GoHands delivers. In the second half, Elymas activates <Dragonrage Deathgaze> and the track switches to “Rewrite the Answer,” the opening theme performed by Tokoyami Towa, escalating into a full display of the Heavy Knight’s power, and of Ruche’s own, in the face of formidable new enemies.

The Part 2 opening theme is performed by Tokoyami Towa, a VTuber affiliated with hololive production, whose powerful, richly expressive voice brings a different face to every song she sings. “Rewrite the Answer” is an energetic rock track that colors the curtain-raising of Part 2.

The ending theme is performed by PompadollS, a rock band drawing attention for its singular worldview and distinctive musicality. “Contemporary Dance” is a track that illustrates the awkwardness of life, woven together by a light, nimble rhythm.
