Netflix premiered the first season of “Yasuke,” a unique animation about the experiences of the main protagonist, a historical figure who will be the first African warrior, on April 29, 2021. Thus according to historical records, Yasuke landed in Japan on July 25, 1579, from Africa, most likely Mozambique. He was a loyal servant of Japanese Daimy Lord Oda Nobunaga until he was betrayed and slain by one of his generals in 1582. Yasuke is said to have gone into exile after that horrific occurrence, however, the remainder of his story is unclear. “Yasuke” has a sizable fan base, and many are excited to see even more. Here’s all we know thus far regarding the second season of “Yasuke.”
Yasuke Season 2 Release Date
Netflix hasn’t confirmed any plans for a new season of the animated series, which isn’t surprising since the whole first season of ‘Yasuke’ only premiered on April 29.
However, there are a few encouraging signals, including the fact that perhaps the series was viewed by a great amount of Netflix customers globally and also that critics liked it as well.
During an interview with Comicbook.com, the series’ creator, LeSean Thomas, also hinted at something significant. So far, there is hope that a second season would be ordered, but nothing can be confirmed. Fans really shouldn’t anticipate anything else until late 2022, although it is received the go light.

Yasuke Season 2 Expected Story
Toward the end of the series, Yasuke engaged Daimyo’s cavalry, led by his long-time foe Mitsuhide dubbed The Dark General. Throughout the season, we’ve seen a few partnerships form. Morisuke provided astral plane counsel to Saki, while Abraham’s former bounty hunters offer Yasuke support.
Regrettably, there have been a few terrible deaths as well. In the process, Ishikawa and Nikita are slain. Saki learned how to leverage the power of life in the midst of the battle. When she reaches Yasuke to congratulate herself for killing Daimyo, she discovers that he, too, has perished. Saki’s tears and powers, on the other hand, restored Yasuke’s life, paving the stage for his resurrection.
We witnessed Yasuke finally let go of the past in the post-credit sequence. He pays his respects to his friend Natsumaru’s grave, as well as handing off her blade to Natsumaru’s brother. Season 1 of the animation neatly tied up the storyline; therefore the second season will most likely focus on a fresh journey for our hero.
Yasuke Season 2 Characters
The voice of the titular character, LaKeith Stanfield, would almost certainly resume for a season 2, but the fate of all the other voice talent would’ve been determined by the storyline of ‘Yasuke’ season 2.
Despite the fact that “Yasuke” features dubbing in a wide range of languages, like German, Spanish, French, and, obviously, Japanese, the initial language is in English. Oscar nominee LaKeith Stanfield voices the title character, alongside Takehiro Hira as Oda Nobunaga, Maya Tanida plays Saki, Ming-Na Wen portrays Natsumaru, Don Donahue as such wicked Abraham, and Paul Nakauchi only as doctor Morisuke.
Based on the plot, the second season will most probably contain a number of recurring characters. Stanfield will, of course, reprise his role as Yasuke, while Tanida’s Saki is almost certain to come back soon. Nobunaga, Natsumaru, and the Daimyo, a sorceress and is one of the series’s primary antagonists, portrayed by Amy Hill, are among the protagonists who die in Season 1 of “Yasuke.” In an anime, anything might happen, but these personalities are unlikely to come back in Season 2.
