With Vengeance, Sincerely, Your Broken Saintess Season 2 Teaser Trailer Previews Juice=Juice Theme Song Ahead of October 2026 Premiere

I’ll be honest: the third teaser for With Vengeance, Sincerely, Your Broken Saintess Season 2 is exactly the kind of anime preview that makes me want to rewatch the first season immediately. There’s something wonderfully dramatic about seeing Lua go from a girl who was constantly used and discarded to someone who has finally decided that, yes, maybe returning all that pain is actually worth it. The new trailer is short, but between the darker atmosphere, the Birthday Festival setting, and Juice=Juice’s new theme song “Kareinaru Revenger,” it feels like Season 2 knows exactly what fans came back for.

The second season is scheduled to premiere in Japan on October 1, 2026, putting it firmly into the Fall 2026 anime lineup. And judging from this latest teaser, the sequel isn’t interested in simply repeating Lua’s original revenge story. The focus is shifting toward royal intrigue, family secrets, romance, and the uncomfortable question of how far Lua is willing to go now that she has stopped trying to be everyone’s perfect saintess.

That Juice=Juice Theme Song Is Surprisingly Perfect

The biggest thing I noticed in the new teaser is the music.

Juice=Juice performing “Kareinaru Revenger” is a pretty fun choice for a series that has become increasingly bitter and gothic. The song has a much more energetic J-pop feel than I expected, but somehow that contrast works. Instead of making Lua’s revenge journey sound hopeless, the track gives it momentum.

And honestly, the title itself tells you almost everything you need to know.

“Kareinaru Revenger” basically screams that Lua is no longer sitting around waiting for justice to magically happen. She has decided to become the person who delivers it herself.

What I particularly like is how the teaser seems to use the song to underline Lua’s transformation. In Season 1, so much of her character was built around suffering, endurance, and being exploited because of her healing ability. Season 2 appears much more interested in showing what happens when that same person finally gets agency.

That is a much more exciting direction for her.

Lua Has Come a Long Way From the “Broken Saintess”

If you somehow missed the first season, Lua’s ability is one of the cruelest gimmicks in this entire genre.

She can heal people from terrible injuries and illnesses, but the damage doesn’t simply disappear. Lua takes the pain and physical consequences onto herself. Imagine having an incredible healing power that essentially turns every act of kindness into self-inflicted suffering.

Naturally, the aristocrats around her don’t exactly reward that sacrifice.

Instead, Lua is mocked and treated as defective. The situation becomes even more painful because she believes that her friend Arianne genuinely cares about her. Then everything falls apart when Lua saves Knight Commander Garrett after he suffers a devastating beast attack.

Lua nearly dies.

Arianne takes the credit.

And somehow that isn’t even the worst part.

That betrayal completely changes how Lua sees the world. When she later meets the second prince Sven, he recognizes something that everyone else overlooked: Lua isn’t weak. She has simply spent her entire life being told that using her power for herself is wrong.

That relationship is one of the biggest reasons I’m interested in Season 2.

Sven doesn’t magically fix Lua. Instead, he gives her room to become someone much more dangerous.

The Birthday Festival Could Be the Sequel’s Big Turning Point

Season 2 moves the story toward the kingdom’s Birthday Festival, where Lua is chosen as the Rose Princess.

This sounds like a glamorous fantasy celebration on paper. In reality, I’m expecting it to be an absolute disaster.

Why?

Because Arianne is going to be there.

Putting Lua and the person who betrayed her in the same royal environment is basically asking for trouble. The difference this time is that Lua isn’t entering the situation as the frightened saintess who desperately wants everyone to understand her.

She knows exactly what Arianne did.

And Arianne knows that Lua knows.

That creates a much more interesting conflict than a simple revenge plot.

There are also bigger mysteries waiting in the background, particularly the truth surrounding Lua’s family and the deaths of her relatives. That’s where I think Season 2 could become considerably more interesting than the first.

The betrayal involving Arianne was personal. The family mystery potentially turns everything into something much larger.

What I’m Most Curious About in Season 2

• Lua confronting Arianne publicly
• The truth behind Lua’s family tragedy
• Lua and Sven’s relationship becoming more complicated
• The Birthday Festival and its political consequences
• The promised piano scene
• How far Lua will actually take her revenge

That last one is probably the biggest question for me.

It’s easy to cheer for a character getting revenge when they’re obviously the victim. It’s much more interesting once that character starts crossing lines.

The Director Change Could Actually Matter

One detail that deserves more attention is the change in director.

Saya Fukase is taking over the directing role for Season 2 after previously working on the first season’s visual production. That makes this less of a completely disconnected leadership change and more of an internal transition.

Fukase has also talked about Lua being much more active in Season 2, particularly when it comes to revenge, romance, and discovering the truth.

That is exactly what I wanted to hear.

One of my frustrations with revenge-focused anime is when the protagonist spends half the story talking about revenge but barely gets to do anything. Lua has already suffered enough. I don’t need another twelve episodes of everyone underestimating her while she quietly stares into the distance.

Give her something to do.

And from the teaser, that’s exactly what Season 2 seems prepared to do.

The “Light Anime” Style Still Isn’t for Everyone

There’s another conversation that is impossible to avoid: the show’s unusual animation format.

With Vengeance, Sincerely, Your Broken Saintess uses the so-called Light Anime approach, which relies heavily on detailed webtoon artwork combined with movement, camera work, effects, editing, and sound rather than traditional full animation for every moment.

I’ll admit that I wasn’t completely sold on it initially.

There are moments where you can absolutely feel the limitations. Some scenes look closer to an animated motion comic than a conventional television anime. If you’re expecting the fluidity of a big-budget action production, you’re probably going to notice the difference immediately.

But here’s the thing: the style suits this particular story better than I expected.

The original webtoon artwork already has a strong gothic fantasy aesthetic, and preserving those illustrations gives the series a distinct identity. The exaggerated poses, dramatic close-ups, and heavy use of atmosphere can actually make Lua’s emotional scenes hit harder.

It isn’t traditional animation.

But it doesn’t necessarily need to be.

And apparently we’re getting a piano sequence in Season 2, which could be one of the most interesting tests of what this format can actually do.

The Cast Is Back, and That’s Important

The returning voice cast is another reason Season 2 feels like a genuine continuation rather than a reset.

Asami Seto returns as Lua, bringing back the emotional weight that made the character work in the first place. Sōma Saitō is also back as Sven, which is particularly important because his relationship with Lua is becoming increasingly central to the story.

The returning cast includes:

The music side is also continuing with composer onoken, while Yuuichi Imaizumi returns for sound direction.

So while there are changes behind the camera, the overall creative identity isn’t being thrown away.

Why I Think Season 2 Has More Potential Than Season 1

The first season had a very straightforward emotional engine: Lua was hurt, betrayed, and finally decided to fight back.

That works.

But eventually, revenge stories need to evolve or they become repetitive.

Season 2 has several different pieces moving at once. Lua has her relationship with Sven, Arianne is still around, the royal court is becoming more important, the Birthday Festival provides a public stage for conflict, and Lua’s family history introduces an entirely different mystery.

That combination could make the sequel much messier in a good way.

I’m especially interested in whether Lua can maintain her humanity while embracing the darker side of her abilities. Her power is fundamentally built around transferring pain. That’s a pretty obvious metaphor for revenge, but it also gives the story an opportunity to ask whether returning suffering actually makes someone feel better.

If the anime leans into that instead of treating revenge as automatically satisfying, it could become surprisingly compelling.

Final Thoughts

The new With Vengeance, Sincerely, Your Broken Saintess Season 2 teaser doesn’t reinvent the series, and honestly, it doesn’t need to. It gives us exactly the things that should matter going into the sequel: a more confident Lua, a darker storyline, more Sven, unresolved tension with Arianne, and a potentially explosive royal festival.

And then there’s Juice=Juice’s “Kareinaru Revenger.”

That song might end up being one of those anime openings or themes that completely changes how you remember a season. At the very least, it gives the sequel a much more energetic identity than I expected.

For me, the real selling point isn’t simply watching Lua get revenge anymore. I want to see what happens after she realizes she has the power to choose what kind of person she becomes.

That’s a much more interesting story.

With the Fall 2026 premiere arriving on October 1, the wait is almost over. If Season 2 can combine the revenge drama, romantic tension, royal politics, and family mystery without letting any one part completely overwhelm the others, Lua’s next chapter could be the point where this strange little fantasy series finally finds its groove.
