The second season of Cardfight!! Vanguard: will+Dress is now streaming on both HIDIVE and Crunchyroll. Picking up after the "Deluxe" tournament in Japan, the story follows Yu-yu, Raika, and Touya as they travel to the United States for a series of exhibition matches, only to stumble upon a conspiracy involving the mysterious disappearance of high-ranking fighters.
Produced by a collaborative team including Kinema Citrus—the studio behind the visually distinct Made in Abyss—the series elevates the card battle genre by blending tactical gameplay with an ensemble-driven mystery. While the show remains a core entry for the franchise, the shift in setting to the U.S. and the introduction of a darker narrative arc provide a fresh change of pace from the standard tournament format.
This 12-episode installment acts as a critical bridge between the initial will+Dress season and the subsequent third chapter. It is a necessary watch for those following the current iteration of the series, offering a more mature look at the competitive world of Vanguard than previous franchise entries.
