Wistoria: Wand and Sword Season 2 has revealed the preview images and synopsis for Episode 9 (Episode 21 overall). The preview features Will and Elfaria as children, showing that we will learn more about that shared past. In the previous episode, Sayaka Ohara joined the voice cast as Cerridwen, a “Multos” capable of wielding all elemental magic except light who started mentoring Will and Julius.

Crunchyroll is streaming the anime worldwide, with Episode 9 scheduled to premiere on June 7.

Studios Actas and Bandai Namco Pictures animated the first season of Wistoria: Wand and Sword, with Tatsuya Yoshihara as the director. Yoshihara returned for the sequel as Chief Director, with Hideaki Nakano as director. The anime topped the weekly Spring 2026 ranking twice this season.

You can watch the trailer for Season 2 Episode 9 “The Page to Be Turned” below.

You can also see the preview images and synopsis for the episode below:

The enigmatic witch Cerridwen invites Will and Julius to her hideaway, where she volunteers to be their mentor and teach Will about his mageblade. She guides him on a journey through the memories slumbering within him in order to discover the origin of Wis.

Will thus relives a day he spent with a young Elfaria where two of them went into the woods to go “monster hunting.” But what really happened, and what is this emotion that Will holds so dear?

We previously had the chance to speak with the show’s producer, who praised its staff as the ‘greatest to ever assemble.’ The extended voice cast consists of:

  • Kohei Amasaki as Will Serfort
  • Akira Sekine as Elfaria Alvis Serfort
  • Satomi Amano as Colette Loire
  • Masaaki Mizunaka as Zion Alster

The anime is based on the manga written by Fujino Omori (also the author of Danmachi) and illustrated by Toshi Aoi. It has been serialized in Kodansha’s Bessatsu Shonen Magazine since December 9, 2020, with 15 published volumes so far. It surpassed 3 million copies in February 2026. Kodansha USA licensed it in English, while Crunchyroll is streaming the anime adaptation.

The story follows the ‘talent-less’ Will Serfort, a mage without magic attending a magic academy with the hope of becoming a Magia Vander, one of the world’s top mages. He needs to accomplish that to reunite with his prodigious childhood friend, Elfaria, and he has to face severe lack of respect from most of his fellow classmates. However, he is determined and slowly wins people over, showing that hard work and perseverance can get him far.
