Perplexed with the happenings, Hakuto decides to find out the truth about this world alongside Aku.
In his journey, he encounters various companions and foes, as his demon lord reputation makes him an easy target.

| Demon Lord Retry! R | Yet to be Announced |
The first season premiered way back in 2019, and the hopes for a sequel are slim, especially considering the ratings of season one.
Additionally, many fans would be wondering why the sequel is not titled Demon Lord Retry! Season 2?

In the final episode of Demon Lord Retry! R Season One, “Angel White and Demon Lord,” Angel unprecedently joins Kunar in the baths.
Angel is annoyed by the situation but interrogates Kunai and his ambitions to deceive Luna.
Kunai calms Angel down and asks for her drink’s sake, after which the former breaks down for being called innocent.
Taking sympathy on Angel, Kunai presents her an angel halo stating that only she can hold the title of Holy Maiden.
The smitten Angel promises Kunai to get back his old self, but when the pair teleport back to the kingdom’s castle, Kunai is revealed to be Lucifer.
The following day, Kunai leaves for the north city, wherein a group of heroes led by an overweight man blocks their path.
As mentioned earlier Demon Lord Retry! R will begin by adapting the first volume of the Demon Lord Retry! R manga.
The demon lord and group explore Animania, wherein they come across wild inhabitants.
Luna finds out that her best friend is part of a slave shipment which is travelling to Hellion.
She hurries in the norther direction to save her but wounds up in a age old war between the northern nations.
The Demon Lord continues his adventure in this re-vamped series! After encountering the mysterious entity in the lowest level of the Bastille Dungeon, he sets out for Hellion Territory, where Grand Devils vie for domination of the realm.
With the addition of a new advisor, the (seemingly) hopeless optimist Akane—the Demon Lord’s army grows even more colorful, and their hijinks even wackier.
