Dragon Raja II: The Mourner’s Eyes Astonish Audiences with Early Parts of Season
The second season of Dragon Raja, titled Dragon Raja II: The Mourner’s Eyes, officially premiered on July 18, 2025, with a simulcast of the Chinese‑language version on Tencent Video and Crunchyroll, and a Japanese dub slated for October 2025. Produced by Garden Culture and distributed globally by Aniplex, this season continues the journey of Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang as they navigate a darker, more complex world filled with dragon‑blood conspiracies, mystical auctions, and growing unrest among dragon‑blooded society.
Where Season 1 emphasized Mingfei’s introduction to Cassell College, Season 2 expands the narrative to a broader ensemble. The spotlight shifts between characters like Chu Zihang and the newly introduced figure Zero, while new ally Xia Mi adds depth to the interpersonal dynamics at the elite boarding school. Romantic subplots soften Mingfei’s emotional arc as he wrestles with identity, loyalty, and destiny. Meanwhile, the looming threat of the awakening Dragon King of Earth and Mountain signals major upheaval for both student and dragon alike.
Visually, Dragon Raja Season 2 builds on its reputation with richly detailed animation by Hanabara Animation, bringing dramatic dragon battles, futuristic cityscapes, and energetic action sequences to life. The soundtrack combines global influences under Kohta Yamamoto with Hiroyuki Sawano contributing to the opening theme, creating a cinematic feel that elevates each emotional beat. Despite some criticisms of uneven pacing in early episodes, fan discussions highlight the stronger character development and world‑building this season offers—making it a standout entry in Summer 2025 anime.
