Gachiakuta Anime: Season Run, English Cast, Dub and Episode 2

The dated facts below each name their source, so a reader can check any row without reading the whole article. The one unresolved row is marked as such.

The table gives the facts. The pattern is clear: the Japanese and English premieres line up, while the second season and the episode 2 subtitle date do not have firm answers.

Will there be more Gachiakuta anime?

Yes, a second season has been confirmed, but no premiere date has been set. The Gachiakuta staff made the announcement on December 21, 2025, the same day the first season’s final episode aired. The anime was announced on June 12, 2024, according to Dubbing Wiki (fan wiki).

“The staff for the television anime of Kei Urana’s Gachiakuta manga announced on Monday the series is getting a second season.”

Anime News Network (anime industry news)

MyAnimeList News described the same moment in different terms.

“The 24th and final episode of Gachiakuta ended with an announcement on Monday that a second season is in production.”

MyAnimeList News (anime news)

No break between the first and second cours

The first season ran as two consecutive cours. Anime Corner reported on July 6, 2025, that episode 1 streamed on Crunchyroll with English subtitles and an English dub. The report confirmed the two-cour structure at the start of the run.

Run length of about half a year

Final Weapon’s July 6, 2025 report said the anime would air for half a year without breaks. MyAnimeList lists the aired range as July 6 to December 21, 2025, across 24 episodes. Some sources give December 22 as the final episode date, but the verified finale date is December 21.

Second season status

MyAnimeList lists Gachiakuta 2nd Season as “Not yet aired.” SenpaiRanks (anime news site) reported that the season was confirmed on December 21, 2025, but had no premiere date in its October 2026 article. A post from GameTrader.SG (retail blog) dated July 29, 2026, said production was still early and placed 2027 at the optimistic end of the window. That blog is not a production source, so the 2027 window should be treated as a rumor.

Is Gachiakuta good for someone like me?

The available reporting does not include a plot summary or a viewer review, so this section rests on what the sources do say. MyAnimeList News describes the manga source as an action fantasy shonen title and identifies Studio Bones as the producer of the anime.

What the sources describe

Kei Urana wrote the manga. Anime News Network credits Fumihiko Suganuma as director, and the series was produced by Bones Film. These details tell a newcomer who made the show and what genre to expect.

• Genre: action fantasy shonen, per MyAnimeList News
• Manga creator: Kei Urana, per Anime News Network
• Production: Bones Film, per MyAnimeList

The list shows the basic profile. It does not show whether the tone will suit a given viewer.

What the sources cannot judge

No supplied source describes pacing, tone, or content warnings. The research therefore cannot say who will find the show too intense or too slow. A full episode summary or a trailer is the better test before committing to a season.

The implication: the strongest reasons to start now are the dub and the confirmed second season, while the weakest are the open subtitle date and the missing premiere.

Is there an English dub for Gachiakuta anime?

Yes. Crunchyroll’s English dub premiered on July 6, 2025, the same day as the Japanese broadcast.

“Crunchyroll officially revealed the release date and cast for the English dub of Gachiakuta.”

IMDb News (entertainment news)

The dub schedule changed in the second cour. ComicBook.com reported a two-week delay, with the episode 14 dub premiering October 26, 2025, after the October 12 subtitle release. The Gachiakuta Anime EN (official account on X) confirmed that the episode 14 dub would launch October 26.

Where to confirm dub availability

The dub dates above come from news outlets and an official social account, not from a published full schedule. The episode page on Crunchyroll is the place to confirm the dub for each episode before watching.

What the provided sources do not confirm

The research contains no official Crunchyroll schedule page, so no source confirms the dub status of every episode. Wikipedia (encyclopedia) reports an English broadcast on Adult Swim’s Toonami block starting October 18, 2026, and a Southeast Asia streaming license through Ani-One Asia on YouTube. Both claims are low-confidence and sit uneasily with the 2025 season run, so they are treated as unconfirmed.

Who is in the English cast of Gachiakuta anime?

Final Weapon lists six English voice credits. The names below are as credited, and the research does not confirm every role from a second source.

• Bryson Baugus as Rudo (Final Weapon)
• Christopher Wehkamp as Enjin (Final Weapon)
• Corey Wilder as Zanka (Final Weapon)
• Katie Caruso as Riyo (Final Weapon)
• Zeno Robinson as Jabber (Final Weapon)
• John Burgmeier as Regto (Final Weapon)

Bryson Baugus as Rudo has the most support in the research, because IMDb News and Final Weapon both name him in that role.

Japanese cast for comparison

The Japanese voices listed on MyAnimeList (anime database) are Aoi Ichikawa as Rudo, Katsuyuki Konishi as Enjin, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Zanka, Yumiri Hanamori as Riyo, Kana Hanazawa as Amo, and Yuuki Shin as Jabber. These are Japanese credits and do not identify English performers.

Spelling and role conflicts

The Gachiakuta Fandom Wiki (fan wiki) lists Dee Meo as the English voice of young Rudo, and the Dubbing Wiki gives the same name for episodes 1 to 17. Corey Wilder also appears as “Coery Wilder” in some sources. Both points are low-confidence.

The implication: the English cast list is usable for most roles, but the young Rudo credit and the Zanka spelling need checking before they are cited.

Is episode 2 of Gachiakuta anime available with English subtitles?

The sources do not agree on the date. Aniwave (streaming aggregator) lists an English subbed release for episode 2 on July 12, 2025. Final Weapon (anime release tracker) lists July 13, 2025 for the same episode, and it moves episode 3 to July 27 from an earlier July 20 date. No official listing in the research settles the question.

Checking the episode 2 listing

Use these steps to check the listing directly.

1. Open the Crunchyroll series page for Gachiakuta and select episode 2.
2. Read the audio and subtitle options shown on that episode page.
3. Record the English subtitle date if the platform displays one.
4. Compare that date with the July 12 claim from Aniwave and the July 13 claim from Final Weapon.
5. If the platform shows no date, treat both third-party dates as unconfirmed.

The implication: the only date that carries weight is the one on the platform’s own episode page, because both third-party sites disagree with each other.

Subtitle and audio options to look for

Anime Corner reported that episode 1 streamed with both English subtitles and an English dub. Check whether episode 2 carries the same pair. A viewer who needs subtitles should confirm that the subtitle track appears before relying on the dub.

Confirmed and unresolved items

Confirmed in the sources

• Season one’s final episode aired December 21, 2025, according to Anime News Network (anime industry news).
• The second season was announced December 21, 2025, according to MyAnimeList News (anime news).
• The English dub premiered July 6, 2025, the same day as Japan, according to IMDb News (entertainment news).
• The episode 14 English dub was delayed to October 26, 2025, according to ComicBook.com (pop culture news).

Unresolved or conflicting

• Episode 2 English subtitle date: July 12 (Aniwave) or July 13, 2025 (Final Weapon).
• Second season premiere date: not announced in the sources; a 2027 window appears only in a retail blog.
• Adult Swim Toonami English broadcast from October 18, 2026, per Wikipedia, which is low-confidence and conflicts with the 2025 run.
• Southeast Asia streaming through Ani-One Asia on YouTube, per Wikipedia, which is low-confidence.
• Spelling of Corey Wilder and the young Rudo credit for Dee Meo, per fan wikis.
• Episode 3 date of July 27, 2025, which Final Weapon says was delayed from July 20; this claim is low-confidence.

The catch: the unresolved list is longer than the confirmed list, so any fan post built on these dates should label the uncertain ones as uncertain.

What to check next

The confirmed facts cover the season run, the dub start, the episode 14 delay, and the second season announcement. The open items are the episode 2 subtitle date, the second season premiere, and the Toonami and Southeast Asia claims. Crunchyroll’s own episode listings will settle the episode 2 subtitle date, so viewers who need an exact day should check that page before starting the series.
