When the first part aired in July 2025, it surprisingly managed to gain popularity as it reintroduced the legendary 1990s occult classic to a new generation.

A visual steeped in mystery and Nube’s dark past

The newly released key visual is more than just promotional artwork. It is the production team's effort to show fans a tonal declaration. It features Nube, his students, and the mysterious Minako-sensei, and the image hints strongly at the upcoming arc that will likely explore the origins of the Demon’s Hand and the secrets Nube has kept hidden even from his closest allies. Fans who have read the manga know how central Nube’s past is to his fate, and have been buzzing with excitement since the Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube visual dropped.

New theme songs for Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube are gaining attention

With the announcement of the release date for Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube Cour 2, we also got information on who is going to be singing the opening theme. The popular band THE ORAL CIGARETTES is part of this, and their song name is ERASE. The band is already popularly known in anime circles for their work on series like Noragami Aragoto, Scarlet Nexus, and TOUGEN ANKI. They are a perfect fit because their approach to the opening theme echoes Nube’s journey through fear, darkness, and responsibility.

Meanwhile, the ending theme “MAGICAL” by Ayumu Imazu brings a contrasting warmth and nostalgic city-pop feel. This has been making the longtime fans of the Heisei-era classic and new viewers discover Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube for the first time.
