Seraph of the End Season 3 Release Date
It has been almost 6 years since the last episode of season 2 aired, which ended in a cliff-hanger, and many have been wondering about the fate of Seraph of the End Season 3. The reason why we all have been waiting for so long is because of the source material. At the time of production, the first two seasons have pretty much covered all of the chapters that the author has released. Which was why the production stopped at the second season.
The great news is that the author has released more chapters since then. There are more than 40 new chapters, which means there are more than enough materials for Seraph of the End Season 3. Currently, Wit Studio has not made any confirmation regarding the status of Seraph of the End Season 3, therefore fans would just have to keep waiting for now.
The Plot of Seraph of the End
The story is set in 2012, where the world is hit by a mysterious virus which kills everyone above the age of 13. It was then when vampires began to emerge and start enslaving mankind, subjugating humanity by promising them that the vampires will protect humanity in exchange of their bloods.
Among these survivors are our main characters, Yuuichirou and Mikaela Hyakuya. Along with other kids from the same orphanage, they began to plot their escape, which failed miserably. In the end, Mikaela sacrificed himself so that Yuuichirou could escape. Yuuichirou was then saved by members of the Moon Demon Company, a military unit that is dedicated to exterminating vampires. Four years later, Yuuichirou is now a member of the Moon Demon company and is determined to get revenge on the vampires for killing his family members.
