by

A key person involved in the new anime Wistoria: Wand and Sword, currently streaming on Crunchyroll this Spring, recently discussed the latest episode and hinted at what’s coming up. With the Spring 2024 anime season halfway through, many new shows are gaining momentum, but this has been especially true for the fantasy series Wistoria: Wand and Sword. The second season immediately jumped into a major battle, captivating fans with its fast-paced action.

The latest episode of Wistoria: Wand and Sword—Season 2, Episode 5—delivered a battle that felt like a series finale, but it’s actually just the end of the first part of a larger story. After Will Serfort gains new powers to defeat a Devander, the anime’s creator, Fujino Omori, shared a message with fans online, promising exciting things to come in future seasons.

Thank you for watching episode 16! I was so happy to see my favorite episode brought to life with such amazing animation. But this is just the beginning of the Wistoria story – there’s much more to come, so please continue to support us! “With you, I’ll go beyond that sky.” #Wistoria

Omori started by thanking everyone for episode 16, saying they really enjoyed it, especially the animation. They also hinted that Wistoria is just beginning, and asked for continued support. Omori also shared some information about Will’s evolving powers. While Will could already absorb magic into his sword, his latest ability, gained with Elfaria, is his most powerful – not necessarily because it’s the strongest overall, but in other ways.

The anime Wistoria: Wand and Sword revealed that Will’s eyes change color as he absorbs magic. It also established that the Albis Wis sword, seen in Season 2 Episode 5, is currently his strongest weapon. While Will will unlock even more powerful swords later on, the Albis Wis stands out due to the strong connection between Will and Elfaria. This dynamic will likely be important as the story unfolds.

What’s Next for Wistoria: Wand and Sword Season 2?

As hinted at in Omori, the story of Wistoria: Wand and Sword is truly beginning now. The most recent episode concludes what’s essentially the story’s introduction, revealing that Will is destined to play a key role in bringing together the worlds of magic and swordsmanship. Over the past season and a half, Will has proven to everyone in this magical society that he’s a capable individual, despite being born without magical abilities.

The recent reveal of Will’s powerful new form, along with his skillful use of the Wis ability, has uncovered a hidden element known to the Magia Vander. This sets the stage for even greater challenges for Will, beginning in the next episode of Wistoria: Wand and Sword, which is currently streaming on Crunchyroll.
