Chained Soldier season 2 reveals the growing role of the Eight Gods of Thunder
The official debut of the Eight Thunder Gods couldn't have been more explosive from a narrative perspective, as it keeps the series' two main opposing factions from destroying each other in the final battle of the season.

Until episode 3, Yuuki still thought he was dead, then she and her human form Shuuki captured him.
Thanks to Ren and the Eight Gods of Thunder, the Anti-Demon Corps and the humanoid Shuuki survived, as the Eight Gods of Thunder's reason for interrupting the battle was just to wreak havoc before capturing Aoba's comrades and leaving, thereby setting the stage for part 2 where Aoba will go save his captured comrades, while Yuuki not only continues to fight Shuuki with the Anti-Demon Corps but is now also motivated by the desire to restore humanity for his sister.
No one thought that the chained soldier would continue
Fans are certainly excited by the news that a second Chained Soldier season has been confirmed, but it may come as a surprise to some, if only because of its controversial dark themes and the fact is that it's filled with unabashed fan service. Some viewers may initially resist the normalization and acceptance of Yuuki's slave status, while others may be offended by the amount of problematic lewd behavior that occurs due to Yuuki's power.
However, the series will definitely continue because Chained Soldier is actually a very well-written series, not “just” a series that has too much fan service and has long since dismissed the fact that it is just provocative for its cheap shock value. . However, for die-hard fans, the dark themes and fan service only heighten their appreciation for The soldier was chained and why couldn't they be happier? HIDE will continue their favorite series.
