The dark fantasy anime Clevatess II: Majuu no Ou to Itsuwari no Yuusha Denshou (The King of Magical Beasts and the Legend of the False Hero) dropped its seventh episode on August 19, 2026. Titled “Omote no Sekai to Ura no Sekai” (The Surface World and the Hidden World), this episode marks a turning point for the series. It pulls back the curtain on the world’s history, suggesting that the heroic legends everyone believes in might not be the whole truth.
The story follows Clevatess, a Lord of Dark Beasts, who resurrected a hero he killed and adopted a baby that could be the world’s last hope. Season 2 sees him infiltrating a divine academy in disguise to secure the research of a deceased mage. Episode 7 pushes this mission into dangerous new territory.
Episode 7 Recap: Infiltration and a Secret Society
The episode centers on the twin characters Tigel and Leon. They knock out suspicious individuals who had broken into the student dormitory. The twins then create death masks from the intruders’ faces and use them to disguise themselves, successfully infiltrating the basement of the main school building.
The basement holds a large underground plaza where many people have gathered. Important figures from both Eslin and Borete are present, making the situation even more tense. The twins find Edison, who had been following them and also managed to sneak in. They learn the intruders belong to a group called the “Union“.
The Surface World and the Hidden World Collide
Episode 7 reveals that there is more to the world than what appears on the surface. The heroic tales passed down through generations might be hiding darker intentions. The episode suggests that the stories of heroes and villains have been shaped by unknown forces for their own benefit.
A major theme in this episode is questioning who the real enemy is. The characters start to doubt the simple idea that Clevatess is evil and the heroes are good. Clevatess himself becomes more cautious, trying to understand the situation rather than just using his power. Alicia, the hero he resurrected, struggles as her beliefs clash with new realities. The episode forces viewers to ask: who is creating the stories, and why?
