Hell’s Paradise season 2 stunning new opener hints at upcoming arcs

It makes sense for most high-ranking shinobi to be driven by the need for unprecedented power or righteous retribution, but not Gabimaru the Hollow, the ninja-turned-convict who is willing to experience hell and back just to return to his wife, Yui, in Yuji Kaku’s web manga series, Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku. After a botched assassination job, Gabimaru is sentenced to be executed, but the shogunate gives him the chance to earn a pardon if he travels to the mysterious island, Shinsenkyō, to retrieve the coveted Elixir of Life. Gabimaru is enrolled in this mission alongside a group of dangerous death-row convicts, but Shinsenkyō proves itself to be a death trap designed to break the strongest of wills.
