List of Hell's Paradise episodes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hell's Paradise is an anime television series based on the manga series Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku by Yuji Kaku. In November 2022, an anime adaptation of the manga was announced by Crunchyroll. The story follows ninja Gabimaru and executioner Yamada Asaemon Sagiri as they search for the elixir of life.[1] The series is animated by MAPPA and produced by Twin Engine, with series direction by Kaori Makita. Akira Kindaichi wrote the scripts, Koji Hisaki designed the characters, and Yoshiaki Dewa composed the music.[2] The first season consisted of 13 episodes and aired from April 1 to July 1, 2023, on TV Tokyo and its affiliates.[3] Crunchyroll streamed the series internationally outside of Asia, while Netflix streamed the series in Asia-Pacific (excluding Mainland China, Australia, and New Zealand).[4][1] It adapted the manga's "Island" and "Lord Tensen" story arcs.
Immediately following the conclusion of the first season, a second season was announced.[5][6] The season is adapting the manga's "Lord Tensen" and "Hōrai" story arcs,[7] and aired from January 11 to March 29, 2026, with most cast and staff from the first season reprising their roles.[8][9]
