On the official website for the anime adaptation of “Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation,” based on the light novels written by Rifujin na Magonote, a new promotional video has been released, in which the premiere of the second half of its second season is confirmed, scheduled for April 7th in Japan. On the other hand, considering that the confirmed season consists of 25 episodes in total, we can deduce that this second part we will receive will have 12 episodes.
