After starring in multiple individual character visuals, the Demon Defense Force Commanders that are debuting in Chained Soldier Season 2 have been ported over to a key visual to pose with previously introduced colleagues Kyoka, Tenka, and Ren. The key visual sets its tone apart from the character visuals by dyeing the Commanders in an intimidating red.
Chained Soldier Season 2 is scheduled to premiere on January 9, 2026. The anime is an adaptation of the erotic dark fantasy action Shueisha-published manga series written by Takahiro and drawn by Yohei Takemura, which began serialization on Shonen Jump+ in 2019 and has 19 volumes as of September 2025. Yen Press describes the manga as such:
Decades ago, gates to an otherworldly and dangerous dimension known as Mato-the “Demon City”-appeared across Japan. Those who partook in the “peaches” growing there gained unique abilities-but only if they’re girls. When down-in-the-dumps high school boy Yuuki Wakura finds himself caught up in a gate, he’s saved by Kyouka Uzen, the beautiful commander of the 7th squad of the Demon Defense Force, who…orders him to become her slave?!
The first season of Chained Soldier aired during the Winter 2024 anime season.
