Ahiru No Sora Episode 51: Release Date, Predictions, Watch Online

The story of the pint-sized underdog, Sora, is still ongoing even after 50 episodes, with no sign of stopping. Giving a ‘prologue’ feel, the journey in the anime hasn’t even toed the starting line.

The last we saw Sora was after their ultimate defeat against Yokohama Taiei High School of 74-119.

We also see glimpses of him training with the other team members for an upcoming tournament, in the after-credits scenes.

They refer to the next arc in the franchise, which is the Monster Bash Tournament.

1. Episode 51 Release Date

Episode 51 of Ahiru no Sora anime will be released in Summer 2021, as part of the second season.

Season 1 of the anime was used to set up the chess pieces of the plot, and now the real journey of the Kuzuryu High School basketball team begins.

With more than 550+ manga chapters, the animation studio has enough source material to make three more seasons.

With the clash of opinions of the mangaka, Takeshi Hinata, and the direction the anime has gone through in the first season, Season 2 of Ahiru No Sora should come out by Summer 2021, if not later.
