It has been officially confirmed that Wistoria: Wand and Sword isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Following the launch of Season 2, Bandai Namco Filmworks has officially greenlit Season 3, ensuring Will Serfort’s journey will continue as one of fantasy anime’s fastest-rising success stories. Alongside the announcement, fans received a brand-new commemorative key visual illustrated by character designer Sayaka Ono and a promotional video teasing the series’ next chapter.
The timing couldn’t be better for the franchise. All episodes from Seasons 1 and 2 are currently streaming on Crunchyroll, while an original soundtrack featuring all 89 background tracks from both seasons also debuted digitally on June 29, 2026. Between the new music release and the Season 3 reveal, Wistoria: Wand and Sword is building momentum as one of modern fantasy anime’s biggest breakout hits.
Wistoria Season 3 Promises Another Step Forward For Will’s Journey
Based on the manga by Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? creator Fujino Ōmori and artist Toshi Aoi, Wistoria: Wand and Sword centers on Will Serfort, a student at Rigarden Magic Academy who possesses no magical ability. Instead of relying on spells, Will fights with a sword while chasing his dream of joining the Magia Vander, the academy’s legendary Supreme Five Wands, to fulfill a promise made to his childhood friend, Elfaria.
Season 2 leaves Will standing at another major turning point after surviving a dangerous dungeon expedition, confronting a mysterious mage, and reaching the academy’s graduation exam. Season 3 is expected to continue adapting the manga’s increasingly ambitious story as Will moves closer to the towering goal that has driven him since the series began. While a release date has not yet been announced, production is already underway.
The creative team remains another reason for optimism. Season 1 director Tatsuya Yoshihara has moved into the role of Chief Director, while Hideaki Nakano takes over directing duties. Noboru Kimura continues handling series composition, Sayaka Ono returns as character designer and chief animation director, and acclaimed composer Yuki Hayashi once again provides the score. Animation production also stays in the hands of BN Pictures and Actas, preserving the visual identity that helped establish the anime.
Wistoria Is The Perfect Blend Of Black Clover And Tower Of God
For viewers searching for another fantasy action series after Black Clover, Wistoria scratches many of the same itches. Like Asta, Will is born without the world’s defining power system yet refuses to accept his limitations. Both protagonists overcome impossible odds through relentless physical training, determination, and sheer grit, creating satisfying underdog stories that celebrate perseverance over natural talent.
At the same time, Wistoria shares plenty of similarities with Tower of God. Rather than focusing only on battles, the series gradually expands its world through academy politics, mysterious organizations, powerful elite figures, and increasingly dangerous tests. As Will climbs toward the Magia Vander, every new challenge reveals another layer of the world’s larger secrets, much like Bam’s ascent through the Tower.
Japan’s Best Action-Fantasy Franchise Is Officially Halfway Finished (Exclusive)

Those similarities make Wistoria feel familiar without becoming derivative. It combines explosive sword combat, magical fantasy, emotional character relationships, and steady world-building into a fantasy adventure that stands comfortably beside two of Crunchyroll’s most popular action series. With Wistoria: Wand and Sword Season 3 now officially confirmed, there’s never been a better opportunity for newcomers to catch up before Will’s next adventure begins.
