The delayed The Misfit of Demon King Academy season 2 episode 7 ultimately results in an anime restart from July 2023.
The 2023 Winter anime slate has been dominated by sequel series; including Vinland Saga, Tokyo Revengers, My Hero Academia, Bungo Stray Dogs, DanMachi, and The Misfit of Demon King Academy.
Unfortunately, the latter series has been notably absent from our watch-list for some time after confirmation was shared online that the anime’s next episode would be postponed indefinitely.
Here is everything you need to know about The Misfit of Demon King Academy season 2 episode 7, including the reason behind the release date being delayed and the scheduled broadcast restart from July, 2023.
The Misfit of Demon King Academy season 2 episode 7 delayed
The Misfit of Demon King Academy season 2 episode 7 was originally meant to premiere on Saturday, February 18; however, the anime has since been delayed in Japan.
Due to the broadcast being postponed for domestic audiences in Japan, the new episode will also not be shown on international streaming platforms including Crunchyroll.
The Misfit of Demon King Academy season 2 episode 7 has been delayed due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases within the production team. A statement shared to the series’ Japanese website noted how “Due to the impact on the video production schedule caused by the spread of the new coronavirus “COVID-19”, we have decided to postpone the broadcast and distribution of episodes 7 and onward.”

“The schedule for broadcast and distribution of episodes 7 and onward will be announced on the official anime website and official Twitter. We apologize for any inconvenience and concern this may cause to the fans who have been looking forward to the work. We appreciate your understanding.”
Season 2 episodes 1 through 6 will be rebroadcast in Japan on and after February 18, with new confirmation that the anime will actually restart in July, 2023.
“Broadcasting will resume in July 2023! New visual revealed! The TV animation “The Unconformist of the Academy of Demon Kings II – The founder of the strongest demon king in history, reincarnated and attending the school of his descendants”, whose broadcast and distribution had been postponed due to the spread of the new corona virus, will resume broadcasting from the first episode from July 2023!”
A specific release date for the anime restart remains TBA, meaning that fans will likely not see the delayed episode 7 until late August.
The postponement of The Misfit of Demon King Academy marks yet another COVID-19-related delay for the anime industry. In recent weeks, postponements have also impacted the likes of KanColle, NieR: Automata, Bofuri, Spy Classroom, and Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible.
Unfortunately, whilst The Misfit of Demon King Academy season 2 has experienced a generally positive reception from fans, the continued delay is having a serious impact on its ratings across various user-based feedback websites.
As of March 25, the series’ second adventure is scoring an underwhelming 7.09/10 on MyAnimeList, which is notably lower than the first season’s score of 7.38/10 from 2020.
Similar ratings can be seen on sites such as Anilist and Anime Planet, where the series is being scored at 71% and 3.7/5 respectively; both again slightly lower than the season 1 figures.
