The Eminence in Shadow season 2 will pick up from volume 3, prologue, Heading to the Lawless City Over Fall Break, where Cid Kagenou will briefly narrate the aftermath of the Bushin Festival disaster. As the trailer shows, the upcoming season will take Cid Kagenou/Shadow and his Shadow Garden to the Lawless City, a large conurbation that has existed for a long time.
Although the true origins of the Lawless City are a mystery, the city known for abuse, slavery, killing, and several illegal activities, is governed by three monarchs, Juggernaut the Tyrant, Yukime the Spirit Fox, and Crimson the Vampire. These rulers reside in their own havens, three largely built towers that govern every third part of the Lawless City.
The first new character featured in the trailer is White Demon, an exiled knight of an unknown kingdom who works as a watchdog for Elisabeth’s Crimson Tower, whose only job is to fend off uninvited guests from entering the premises. In the light novel series, White Demon is described as a sadistic and morally corrupt individual who only likes to kill.
The second character revealed is Yukime, the ruthless and cold enchantress of White Tower who governs the pleasure district of the Lawless City. Yukime owns the Snow Fox Corporation, which will become a rival to Gamma’s Mitsugoshi company.
The third character revealed in the trailer is the vicious Juggernaut of the Black Tower. He is stated to be a barbaric goliath who would attack anyone, even if they are not his enemies.
The fourth character that viewers get a glimpse of in the trailer is the progenitor of vampires. Elisabeth, the “Blood Queen,” is a benevolent entity who, despite her nature, refuses to take human lives.
The last character shown is presumed to be Mary, a legendary vampire hunter who dedicated herself to putting an end to the Blood Queen. However, fans will be surprised to learn about their connection in the upcoming season.
The Eminence in Shadow commemorative event also announced an in-game event called Rose of Garden would take place in The Eminence in Shadow: Master of Garden mobile game. The trailer for Rose of Garden unveiled the character design of Rose and Lambda for the game.
Since Rose became a member of the Shadow Garden with her new identity, 666, fans can’t wait to see her in her new uniform, similar to the one featured in Rose of Garden.
