Disney Twisted-Wonderland Season 2 Teaser Reveals New Footage and Casts Ai Fairouz as Prefect Yuga Hirasaka

A new teaser promotional video and fresh stills have been released for Disney Twisted-Wonderland The Animation Season 2, titled Episode of Savanaclaw, generating massive buzz among fans of the popular smartphone game.

The newly unveiled footage showcases tantalizing cuts hinting at the schemes brewed by Savanaclaw Dormitory members Leona, Ruggie, and Jack. Crucially, the video also offers the very first look at the key protagonist, Prefect Yuga Hirasaka. Adding to the excitement, acclaimed voice actress Ai Fairouz has been cast as Yuga Hirasaka. Fans immediately took to social media to celebrate the announcement with enthusiastic comments such as "It's Ai Fairouz!", "The absolute best casting choice," and "This matches my mental image of the character perfectly!"

Yuga Hirasaka gained significant popularity in the official manga adaptation, and fans of the franchise expressed immense delight at seeing the character transition into anime, leaving comments like "The animation looks gorgeous, I can't wait to see Yuga in motion" and "I'm so thrilled to see Yuga-chan in the anime." Fairouz herself shared her enthusiasm on her official social media accounts, further elevating expectations for the series, which is scheduled to stream exclusively on Disney+ starting this December.

The Context

Disney Twisted-Wonderland is a blockbuster Japanese mobile game produced by Aniplex in collaboration with Walt Disney Japan, featuring concept design, scenario, and character designs by manga artist Yana Toboso (creator of Black Butler). The story is set at Night Raven College, a prestigious magic academy where dormitories are inspired by iconic Disney villains. The Savanaclaw dormitory takes direct inspiration from the world of Disney's The Lion King.

In the original mobile game, the player assumes the role of an unnamed, gender-neutral Prefect known as "Yuu." However, the various official manga adaptations introduced distinct, fully fleshed-out Prefect characters for each story arc. Yuga Hirasaka, a disciplined high school judo practitioner who was transported to the magical world, served as the protagonist in the Savanaclaw manga arc (Episode of Savanaclaw). The decision to bring Yuga and their distinct personality to the animated series—brought to life by award-winning voice actress Ai Fairouz (known for starring roles in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean and Chainsaw Man)—has been warmly embraced by the global fanbase.

The spotlight is turning back to Gehenna Academy—famously known as the "School of Freedom and Chaos"—with the introduction of a new faction calling itself the "Gehenna Restoration Committee."
