Netflix describes the story of BASTARD!! -Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy- as follows:
Fifteen years after Dark Schneider — the ancient wizard who once schemed to rule over everything — was sealed away, the world faced the threat of the Dark Rebel Army, which planned to resurrect the god of destruction Anthrasax and was on the verge of invading the Kingdom of Meta-llicana.
Amid this great peril, Tia Noto Yoko, daughter of the Great Priest, used magic to unbind Dark Schneider.
Dark Schneider repelled foe after foe with his overwhelming arcane power, but at the end of a magnificent battle against Abigail, one of the Dark Rebel Army’s Four Divine Kings, the Kingdom of Meta-llicana was destroyed in a massive explosion in which everyone disappeared in a flash of light and was nowhere to be found.
Two years later…
Another of the Four Divine Kings, the formidable Kall-Su, reigns as High King. He has raised a large army led by the 12 Sorcerer Shoguns and searches for Princess Sheila, who holds the final key to resurrecting Anthrasax. The survivors of the Kingdom of A-Ian-Maide band together around the samurai and form a resistance, clashing with the Sorcerer Shoguns across the land. Among the samurai corps is someone who survived the great war two years prior: Tia Noto Yoko…
BASTARD!! -Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy- Season 2 is directed by Takaharu Ozaki and features animation production by Liden Films. All 15 episodes of Season 2 will stream on Netflix in worldwide markets beginning on July 31, 2023.
