⚔️Let This Grieving Soul Retire! Season 2 (2025): The Weakest Hunter Returns – Cast, Plot, Release Date, Review & Where to Watch

The reluctant hero is back! The hit fantasy anime Let This Grieving Soul Retire! Woe Is the Weakling Who Leads the Strongest Party is officially returning for a Season 2 premiere on October 6, 2025. Produced by Zero-G, the series adapts Tsukikage’s beloved light novel about a “weak” treasure hunter who somehow commands the strongest party in the world—and wants nothing more than to quit.

🌌 A Reluctant Hero’s Journey Continues

Six childhood friends once vowed to become the world’s greatest treasure hunters. But for Krai Andrey, things were never that simple. Known by the moniker “Thousand Tricks”, Krai is underpowered, overwhelmed, and desperate for early retirement. Yet despite his protests, fate always drags him into legendary battles.

From clearing Level 10 Treasure Vaults and defeating Phantom Gods, to igniting civil wars and uncovering world-ending threats, Krai has unwillingly built a reputation as an unstoppable hero. In his own words, “All I wanted was a quiet life… why does trouble keep finding me?”

Season 2 promises more reluctant victories, party chaos, and Krai’s constant wish for one thing: retirement.

🧭 The Grieving Souls – Cast of Season 2

The anime brings back its colorful (and chaotic) party of heroes:

• Krai Andrey (Kensho Ono) – The “weak” leader with absolute defense and absurd foresight.

• Tino Shade (Miyu Kubota) – A thief who worships Krai like a god.

• Liz Smart (Fairouz Ai) – A deadly yet unpredictable troublemaker.

• Sitri Smart (Konomi Kohara) – The alchemist strategist with eyes only for Krai.

• Luke Sykol (Kōhei Amasaki) – The swordsman with a wooden blade and a chaotic streak.

• Ansem Smart (Tomokazu Sugita) – The party’s conscience, a healer of unmatched skill.

• Lucia Rogier (Aoi Koga) – The magus and Krai’s step-sister, destined to play a bigger role as the series progresses.

Together, they form the infamous Grieving Souls, the strongest (and strangest) treasure hunting party alive.

🎶 New Themes for Season 2

The upcoming season also brings fresh music to match the chaos:

• Opening Theme: “Algorithm” by Kiyono Yasuno

• Ending Theme: “Yume no Hitokakera” (Fragment of a Dream) by Iris

Expect epic fantasy energy mixed with a dash of comedy—just like Krai’s accidental heroics.
