Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube Reboot Unleashes Key Visual and Sets January 2026 Premiere Date

The anticipation surrounding the 2025 reboot of the supernatural horror classic, Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube, has intensified with the official reveal of its second cour details. Fans should mark their calendars for January 7, 2026, as the date the enigmatic psychic educator, Meisuke Nueno, universally known as Nube, returns to the eerie halls of Domori. Accompanying this crucial premiere announcement is a freshly unveiled key visual, which immediately sets a darker, more mysterious tone for the continuation of this beloved occult series.

This compelling new artwork spotlights Nube alongside his cohort of students and the perpetually mysterious Minako-sensei. Far from being a simple character lineup, the visual is laden with symbolic weight, strongly suggesting that the upcoming episodes will peel back the layers on Nube's hidden history.

Exploring Nube's Past and the Demon's Hand

The production team has confirmed that the second cour will significantly explore the origins of the formidable Demon's Hand that Nube wields, tracing its true nature back to his childhood and revealing long-guarded secrets. Central to this narrative deepening will be the definitive identity and role of Minako-sensei, whose presence is clearly slated to be pivotal in the unfolding supernatural dramas.

Dynamic Musical Pairings Announced

Further amplifying the excitement, the theme songs for the second cour have been disclosed. Powering the opening sequence is "ERASE," an intense track from the acclaimed Japanese rock powerhouse, THE ORAL CIGARETTES, a band renowned for delivering high-octane energy in anime productions such as Noragami Aragoto and Scarlet Nexus. Providing a stark yet harmonious contrast, the closing theme, "MAGICAL," will be performed by the rising Gen Z sensation Ayumu Imazu. Imazu's distinct, nostalgic city-pop style promises to inject an emotional warmth into the show, balancing the series' inherent horror elements and deepening the personal struggles faced by the characters.

These dynamic musical pairings are poised to significantly enhance the overall atmosphere and emotional resonance of the series. While the worldwide fanbase eagerly awaits confirmation of global streaming partners, the countdown to the January 7 debut is officially underway. Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube continues to solidify its status as a must-watch anime, captivating both dedicated manga enthusiasts and a new generation of viewers with its exceptional mix of supernatural horror, thrilling action, and heartfelt character development. The revelations promised in the second cour ensure this return to Domori will be one of the most highly anticipated premieres of the season.
