The answer is clear: the stakes have never been higher, with a new first-year student sent from the White Room to target Ayanokoji.
Officially titled Classroom of the Elite: Year 2, First Semester, the season premiered on April 1, 2026, with a remarkable 90-minute special episode that covered the first four episodes.
