One of the most popular series in Shonen Jump+, Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku will soon arrive on TV. It tells the story of a ninja mercenary turned death-row convict, who seeks to reclaim the life he always wanted.
But to gain that, he has to go on a mission from which he might not return.
On Sunday, the official website for the anime adaptation of Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku released its second promo. The video previews the opening song and the release date for the series. It will premiere on April 1 on TV Tokyo and related networks.
The above trailer gives a nice overview, with ninjas and swordsmen confronting the monsters. All the characters can be seen like Chōbei, Yuzuriha, Tōma, Nurugai, Tenza, Shion, Fuchi, and Gantetsusai.
However, the trailer focuses on Gabimaru and his executioner Sagiri, where the former can be seen with a desperate look on his face. In the end, he and Sagiri clash swords and fight each other.
The opening song “WORK” is performed by Ringo Sheena and Millennium Parade.
