What Is the Story of Hell’s Paradise Season 2?
The inaugural season wrapped up right in the thick of the Lord Tensen arc, where the Immortal Lord Tensen poses a seemingly insurmountable threat to both the Yamada executioners and their criminal charges. This cataclysmic situation propels the Yamada Asaemon and the criminals to forge an alliance—however uneasy it may be—as they all strive to escape the island together.
As the Yamada Asaemon executioners and their charges navigate the perilous island, supernatural forces are lurking. A fresh wave of samurai and ninja arrives, sent by the shogun to ensure that no one escapes alive!
