Where to watch The Fable episode 2?

The Fable episode 2 and all the upcoming installments of season 1 will be made available on Hulu for fans in the U.S.

The anime will be streamed exclusively on DisneyPlus for crime drama enthusiasts worldwide, given Hulu’s geographical restriction, where the platform is limited to the U.S. Other anime streaming platforms like Crunchyroll and Hidive are yet to add The Fable to their catalog.


A brief recap of The Fable episode 1

The Fable episode 1 saw the titular hitman wrapping up things in his latest job, where he executed a group of notorious criminals for human trafficking. After Youko, Fable’s partner, picked him up from the crime scene, the former wanted to enjoy watching Mr. Jackal, a comedy show that he liked laughing to a lot.

After regrouping with their boss, Fable and Youko briefed him about the success of the mission. Given the tension escalating in the city with Fable’s rampage, where he assassinated 71 people, the boss wanted him and Youko to lay low for a year in Osaka.

Their boss made all the arrangements, including their fake licenses, insurance cards, money and everything they needed. Fable and Youko’s boss wanted them to be rest assured regarding their stay in Osaka, given a deal he had with a clandestine group there.

Before leaving, the boss told Fable to try adapting to a normal life where he was allowed to make friends, fall in love, and more, but he was not to kill anyone for a year. The boss threatened the two by saying that if they broke the protocol, they would be killed. After disposing off all of his equipment and weapons, Fable hit the road to Osaka with Youko.

Despite the latter’s warning to stay out of trouble, the former had a minor scuffle with two burglars when they stopped at a store. Youko was skeptical about Fable blending with the normal people as Akira Satou, but he eventually surprised her with his mastered dialect.

Elsewhere in Osaka, the second in command of the Maguro-gumi Organization was unsure about helping someone like Fable settle into his new yet ordinary life. However, Maguro wanted the hitman to enjoy his freedom while it lasted without any interference.


What to expect from The Fable episode 2 (speculative)?

The Fable episode 2 will see how the hitman is going to lead a normal life as Akira Satou, as he's banned from killing anyone for a year.

Given the instructions from his boss, he has to lay low until the situation cools down. Takeshi Ebihara, who is skeptical of the Fable, will be his manager and will help him with anything he needs.

For someone like the Fable, leading an ordinary life can be a challenging task, and fate will test him by putting him in situations where he might need to resort to his basic instincts, which could lead him to break the code.
