With Gachiakuta season 1 past the halfway point—15 of 24 episodes aired across two cours—expect season 2 news to drop right as the finale hits.

Quick Gachiakuta check-in: no, Season 2 hasn't been announced yet. Yes, odds are high it's coming. If you're confused by the schedule, you're not alone.

Where Season 1 actually stands

Season 1 is a 24-episode run. With Episode 15 out, there are 9 episodes left. It's a two-cour rollout, which is why some folks figured a Season 2 was already here or quietly announced. It isn't. Realistically, if there's news, expect it after this fall stretch wraps.

So, will there be a Season 2?

It's not official, but it's pretty close to a lock. Gachiakuta is a big, modern shonen that's landed hard with fans. Studio Bones is behind it (same house as My Hero Academia and Fullmetal Alchemist), and they do not rush. That polish takes time. If you're looking for a realistic window, early to mid-2027 is the earliest bet. And even that could slip if Bones wants more runway.

The manga math (and why timing could get weird)

Here's the part people don't always factor in: Season 1 is chewing through almost 90 chapters. The manga only has about 63 chapters left beyond that right now. If Season 2 is another 24 episodes, that's tight. With Episode 15, the anime is deep into the Trash Storm Arc, and at this pace the remaining Season 1 episodes might even wrap the next Heritage Mural Arc. After that, a second season becomes necessary to keep the story going, but the available material could make episode count and timing a bit tricky.

What Season 2 would likely cover

If and when it happens, you can expect the next stretch of arcs to drive the plot hard. Rudo and the crew will be dealing with the fallout of Angel's identity being revealed, and Amo steps back into the spotlight in a big way.

  • Information Broker Arc (Ch. 91–116): Chasing secrets, new power players, and a lot of puzzle pieces snapping into place.
  • First Job Arc (Ch. 117–130): The crew takes on their first solo mission, which is exactly the kind of pressure-cooker you want for character growth.
  • Doll Festival Arc (Ch. 131–153, ongoing): The chaos dials up as the worldbuilding really opens up. Expect meaningful moments for supporting characters like Gris and Folo, too.

These chapters are available to read on the K-Manga app if you want a head start.

Why this next stretch could be the one that seals it

Gachiakuta isn't just another shonen slugfest; it's built with a visual swagger and confidence that makes it pop. If Season 2 gets the green light, the stakes ramp aggressively. This is the kind of material that can push it into the same conversation as MHA or JJK if the execution keeps pace. Each arc pushes Rudo and the Cleaners into new territory, both in the world and in what the show is trying to do. It's ambitious in a way that could turn the series into a long-term favorite.

Where to watch

Gachiakuta Season 1 is streaming on Crunchyroll right now.

Bottom line

No Season 2 announcement yet, but it's very likely coming once this fall run ends. If Bones sticks to its usual high-polish approach, early-to-mid 2027 is the earliest realistic release window, with the Information Broker, First Job, and Doll Festival arcs lined up to carry the torch. It might take a minute, but the wait should pay off.
