Furthermore, the PV features Akira Akao, one of the important characters who will appear in Part 2, along with Rion Akao, Mafuyu Seba, and Kanaguri. The short clip highlights intense action sequences in decent animation quality.

Moreover, the trailer uses a snippet of the new ending theme song, Dandelion by go!go!vanillas. It was previously announced that Kroi would perform the opening theme for Sakamoto Days anime part 2, Method.

The new cast members include:

• M.A.O as Akira Akao
• Mamiko Noto as Rion Akao

Sakamoto Days anime part 2 will premiere on Monday, July 14, 2025, at 24:00 JST (effectively July 15, 2025, at 12 am JST) on Tokyo MX and other channels. The series will exclusively start on Netflix with 2 episodes on July 14, 2025. The 12th episode will stream at the same time as the show's Japanese television broadcast.

Masaki Watanabe directs the series at TMS Entertainment, with Taku Kishimoto in charge of the series scripts. Yo Moriyama is the show's character designer, while Yuki Hayashi is the music composer.
