Every gamer dreams of the day when designers create a true virtual reality experience. Despite the fact that this technology does not yet exist, fiction exists that imagines what life might be like if it did. If that’s your thing, there’s a high possibility an anime has been specifically created for you.
This premise has technically been used in a number of anime series. However, none of them have the same distinct tone and personality as “Bofuri: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt So I’ll Max Out My Defense.” Similar to its genre peers, “Bofuri” is all about immersing yourself in an MMORPG in a true VR environment.
While series like “Sword Art Online” focus on serious gamers’ experiences, “Bofuri” follows a delightfully bumbling rookie who grows to become one of the most powerful players in the VRMMORPG NewWorld Online.
Author Yuumikan first published the series as an independent web novel in 2016. The series grew in popularity swiftly, generating light novels, manga, and, most recently, anime adaptations. The show’s first season ended in 2020; however, a second season was announced shortly after. Here’s everything we know thus far about Season 2 of “Bofuri.”
When will Bofuri Season 2 be released?
Season 2 of “Bofuri” has not only been confirmed but will also be released soon, which will definitely please fans. The show’s creators, Silver Link, wrapped up Season 1 by announcing that Season 2 will premiere in 2022. To say the least, this is a pleasant surprise.
It isn’t every day that a new anime is picked up for a second season in such a short amount of time. There is frequently an unexpected time of limbo during which fans are left in the dark about the future return of their beloved show. This isn’t the case with “Bofuri,” thankfully.
That isn’t to say the situation isn’t worrisome. Season 2 was announced in the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak when even the most popular shows were suffering from delays. Nobody knows if the pandemic influenced the development of Season 2 of “Bofuri” Silver Link’s silence on the matter, however, is a good sign that everything is going according to plan.
Who will be in Bofuri Season 2?
Even though there is a lot of action, the strength of “Bofuri” is in its characters. While our protagonist, Kaede Honjou, or Maple in the game, manages to overpower herself, the focus of the show is on her making friends and having a good time while playing the game than it is about her conquering its challenges. She begins by playing with a close friend from school and quickly rises through the ranks, becoming a guild leader and a prominent person in the RPG’s bigger community.
To sell its premise, a show with such a strong cast is required. “Bofuri” is no slouch in this aspect. Furthermore, fans can expect to see the show’s primary cast return to their respective roles; the chances are excellent that it will remain that way.
What will Bofuri Season 2’s plot be like?
In “Bofuri” Season 1’s finale, Maple Tree is one of the last teams standing in NewWorld Online’s latest community event. In an epic battle with its main competitors, team Holy Sword, Maple Tree’s limits are tested. In the end, it all boils down to Maple and Payne.
Despite the fact that Payne was successful in dragging Maple to her last bit of health, In the form of her Atrocity form, the walking fortress still holds an ace in the hole. Maple Tree uses her most recent OP ability to help dispatch the very last powerful guild, securing a win for the Flame Emperors, another team, and a respectable third place for Maple Tree. The event has come to an end, and Maple has invited everyone, including enemies, to a celebration.
While the anime hasn’t disclosed what’s next for Maple and her friends, Silver Link, we know, has a lot of material to work with. Despite considerable variation between the anime, manga, and original novels, “Bofuri” adheres to its canon in all three mediums. Furthermore, in all other adaptations, the plot has advanced significantly, with the anime’s first season-ending at the 4th Volume of the light novel’s 12.
While the events of “Bofuri” have no official English explanation, viewers can anticipate witnessing Maple goofball her way to success in the virtual reality fantasy realm of NewWorld Online. There will be plenty of charming moments and chuckles when “Bofuri” Season 2 premieres.
