To Your Eternity season 2 episode 1 is set to premiere soon.

The finale episode of the previous season left fans teary-eyed after Pioran's death. While her death was quite saddening for the fans, fortunately for her, she was able to request the Beholder to reincarnate her into someone that could be useful to Fushi. The Beholder allowed Pioran to experience her young body again after which he had her enter a white orb. So fans could possibly see her again in the upcoming season.

Studio Drive will be taking over the responsibility of animating the series from Brain's Base. Kiyoko Sayama, who previously directed Skip Beat! and Brave 10, is set to take over as the director of To Your Eternity from season 1 director Masahiko Murata.

To Your Eternity season 2 episode 1 will see the start of The Guardians Arc, with a forty-year time skip after old woman Pioran's death. During these forty years, Fushi spent his time alone on a boring island. This is when he met Hisame, a girl from the Yanome Country, who tells him how she is the reincarnation of Hiyase. While this was very shocking for Fushi, he decided to join her and the "Guardians" to protect innocent people from the threat of knockers.

What happened last time?

To Your Eternity season 1 saw the origin of Fushi as an orb-like entity, who has the power to shapeshift into inanimate and animate objects. The orb first changes into a rock, then moss, only to then transform into a dying wolf, even copying its wound. Later, the Orb "It" transforms into the wolf's owner after the owner happened to pass away due to an injury.

Since then, "It" has transversed the land only to meet a young girl, March, who took care of him and named him Fushi. He met several trials and tribulations, losing many friends, while trying to defeat the hostile entity "Knockers". During his journey, he also met the man who created the orb, who referred to it as the "Beholder."
