The official website for the Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube reboot anime released a key visual for the upcoming second cour today. The reboot anime's first 13-episode cour aired in Japan from July to September 2025, with the second set to premiere on January 7, 2026. Key Visual The site also announced the second cour's opening and ending theme song artists. THE ORAL CIGARETTES will perform the opening theme "ERASE." The four-piece Japanese rock band was formed in 2010 and previously provided theme songs for Noragami Aragoto (2015), revisions (2019), Scarlet Nexus (2021), and TOUGEN ANKI (2025). Message from THE ORAL CIGARETTES: It’s a true honour to have created the opening theme for Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube, a series I’ve been watching since childhood. The world of Nube shares a lot of similarities with our own musical world, so we were able to approach the song head-on and honestly. Just as Nube saves his students from the darkness, I believe music exists to help people through the darkness they can’t escape alone. That feeling is poured into this song—so please enjoy it alongside the series! THE ORAL CIGARETTES Singer-songwriter Ayumu Imazu will sing the ending theme "MAGICAL." He started dancing at the age of six and spent approximately three and a half years studying in New York from the age of 14. His activities are now based in both the USA and Japan. This is his third anime tie-in song, following "Stranger" for Scarlet Nexus (2021) and "HOWL" for Let's Go Karaoke! (2025). Message from Ayumu Imazu: I'm truly honoured to have written the ending theme for Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube. With this beloved Heisei-era series returning in the Reiwa era, I crafted “MAGICAL” to carry a nostalgic, city-pop-inspired sound that also feels warm and familiar. I hope it resonates with both longtime fans and new audiences alike!
