October 2026 on +Ultra — Desir’s second loop gets a hard month
A Returner's Magic Should Be Special Season 2 starts in October 2026 inside Fuji TV’s +Ultra late-night block. The June 7, 2026 site drop locked the month with a teaser visual and FLOW’s new OP. Until a premiere Wednesday prints, keep the countdown on October.
FLOW’s “Sorrow” is a Season 2 original — not a Season 1 OP rerun
The band is back, but the track is new. Marketing that only says “FLOW returns” without naming “Sorrow” undersells the drop. Pair the song with Desir Arman’s heavier battles; do not treat a playlist of “GET BACK” as the October premiere cue.
How the Returner screen calendar actually runs
- Season 1 — Fall 2023 (Arvo Animation; Crunchyroll + dub).
- Source: Usonan / Wookjakga Korean webtoon (Yen Press in English).
- Jul 2026 — Season 1 Fuji/Kansai rebroadcast ahead of S2.
- Jun 7, 2026 — October window + FLOW “Sorrow” + teaser visual.
- October 2026 — Season 2 on +Ultra Wed 24:45 (day TBA).
Wednesday 24:45 +Ultra is the clock — not a vague “Fall isekai” bucket
Desir’s time-loop academy story shares Fall 2026 with dozens of fantasy titles. This one’s differentiator is the Fuji +Ultra slot and Arvo’s returning staff. Mark that late Wednesday for Hebrion’s next Shadow World push — and use the July rebroadcast if you need a clean Season 1 refresh first.

Arvo Animation with Taiichi Kawaguchi directing, Takamitsu Kono on series composition, and Hiromi Kato on character design — the Season 1 stack returning. Crunchyroll continues the international simulcast.
3What is the opening theme?
FLOW returns with a new song, “Sorrow,” written for Season 2 (they previously did Season 1’s “GET BACK”). That June 7, 2026 music drop came with the October window and teaser visual.
4Should I rewatch Season 1 first?
Yes if you are rusty — Fuji/Kansai planned a Season 1 rebroadcast from July 2026 ahead of the sequel. Desir’s 13-year return / Hebrion Academy plot picks up from that Fall 2023 cour.
