Volume 18 ends with DS fighting Porno Diano and a bizarre interlude with a host of angels watching the gates of Hell break open (IN SPACE). Apparently, the drafts for several arcs were damaged/lost, so Hagiwara just skipped ahead.See also Guilty Gear, for a similar concept that took heavy inspiration from this manga, but set in a futuristic world. Here's the February 10th, 2022 teaser trailer, the June 15th trailer for the first half, and the September 8th trailer for the second half. It will adapt the Hell's Requiem arc of the story. The second season of the anime has also been announced, set to premiere July 31st, 2023.

Japan announced that Bastard!! would be receiving a new anime adaptation consisting of 24 episodes, with animation by Liden Films and will be distributed by Netflix worldwide. It's six episodes long, and only goes through the first three collections of the manga (which is currently up to volume 27), so it ends with a "Hey, what now?" The series received an OVA in 1992, produced by Shueisha themselves as well as Geneon Entertainment and animated by AIC, Geneon's American division later released and dubbed the OVA in 1998. The manga has been released in the US (with quite a good translation) up to volume 19 (though at present, it seems Viz Media has abandoned the series). Because of a potential blatantly ludicrous licensing fee to use them all, these names had to be all changed in the American release.

Dark Schneider, when released, explains that he was killed by Yoko's father, and will kill the man in return. The fun comes from some of the differences from the standard. Now, this all sounds pretty much standard fantasy fare. Dark Schneider! Only a spell capped with a kiss from a virgin can unlock the spirit within Luche and save the kingdom! What she finds out is that Luche contains within him the spirit of one of the most powerful sorcerers of all time, the infamous Exploder Wizard. This series is centered on the virginal (this is a plot point, in fact) priestess Tia Noto Yoko and her adoptive brother, Luche Renlen.
