Introduction
Indian anime fans finally have the update they were waiting for. The Elusive Samurai Season 2 Hindi dub release date has been confirmed for August 7, 2026, and the dubbed version will be available on Crunchyroll. New Hindi episodes are expected to arrive weekly after the first episode goes live.
Season 2 began its Japanese TV run on July 17, 2026, and Crunchyroll started streaming it with subtitles. The Hindi version is coming three weeks later, so Indian viewers will not have to wait for the full season to end. Season 1 already had a Hindi dub, and many fans wanted the same support for Tokiyuki’s next fight.
What Happened
Crunchyroll has added The Elusive Samurai Season 2 to its Hindi dub plans for Indian viewers. The Hindi dub will start on Friday, August 7, 2026, while the exact release time has not been shared yet. The first dubbed episode should arrive on that date, followed by one new Hindi episode each week.
The main anime season did not begin on August 7. Season 2 officially started in Japan on July 17, and its subtitled version is already running on Crunchyroll. August 7 is only the start date for the Hindi audio version, so fans should not mix the two dates.
This is a confirmed streaming update, not a fan guess or an online leak. However, Crunchyroll has not yet named the Hindi voice actors for Season 2. It has also not said whether every old Hindi voice will return from Season 1, so viewers should wait for the first dubbed episode or a full cast post.
What Is The Elusive Samurai About?
The story follows Hojo Tokiyuki, a young boy from the Hojo family. His peaceful life ends after Ashikaga Takauji turns against the Kamakura government, which causes Tokiyuki to lose his home, his family, and the life he once knew.
Tokiyuki is not a normal hero who wins every fight with raw power. His greatest skill is running away, hiding, and staying alive when others cannot catch him. A strange priest named Suwa Yorishige sees great hope in this skill and tells Tokiyuki that he may become an important hero one day.
With Yorishige and a group of young friends beside him, Tokiyuki starts preparing to take back what was stolen. The anime mixes real Japanese history with action, comedy, bright art, and dark moments. Season 2 moves the group closer to its plan to return to Kamakura.
What We Know So Far
The Japanese release date for Season 2 was July 17, 2026. The show airs in Japan on Fuji TV’s Noitamina block, and Crunchyroll streams it for viewers outside Japan in many regions.
The Hindi dub release date is August 7, 2026. It is planned as a Hindi-only regional dub at launch, while no Tamil or Telugu dub date has been confirmed for Season 2 at this time.
The Hindi episodes will release weekly instead of coming as one full batch. This means Indian fans can follow the new season week by week in Hindi, but the Hindi version will remain behind the Japanese and subtitled release.
Season 2 is again made by CloverWorks, the studio behind the first season. The main Japanese staff and cast are also returning, which helps the new season keep the same art style, voices, and overall feel.

Why This Hindi Dub Matters
Hindi anime dubs have become much more common in India, but not every new season gets one so close to its Japanese release. In this case, Indian fans only need to wait three weeks after the original start. That is a much better gap than waiting for several months or even years.
The Hindi dub can also help new viewers who like anime but find subtitles hard to follow during fast action scenes. The Elusive Samurai uses old Japanese names, places, and history, so hearing the story in Hindi may make the main events easier for some viewers to understand.
This release also shows that Crunchyroll is still giving attention to Hindi-speaking fans. A current show getting a weekly Hindi dub is a positive step for anime viewers in India.
Do You Need to Watch Season 1 First?
Yes, viewers should finish The Elusive Samurai Season 1 before starting Season 2. The new season continues the same story, and it does not restart Tokiyuki’s journey for new viewers.
Season 1 has 12 episodes and is already available on Crunchyroll with Hindi audio. Watching it first will explain the fall of Kamakura, Tokiyuki’s bond with Yorishige, the formation of the Elusive Warriors, and the main danger caused by Ashikaga Takauji.
The first season is short enough to finish before August 7. Its Hindi dub can also help viewers learn the names and setting before the new episodes begin.
Fan Reaction
Indian fans have shown a happy response to the Hindi dub news. Many viewers had already seen Season 1 in Hindi, so the return of the dub means they can continue the story in the same language.
Some fans are also asking about the Hindi cast and the exact upload time. These details are still missing, so any cast list or time being shared without a Crunchyroll post should not be treated as final.
The new dub also gives viewers who skipped the anime in 2024 a reason to start from Season 1 and join the weekly Season 2 run.
What Might Happen Next?
Crunchyroll may share the Hindi voice cast close to the August 7 release. The platform may also add the exact India release time to its weekly calendar once the episode page is ready.
A Hindi trailer or short dubbed clip may also arrive before the first episode. No such video has been confirmed yet.
The weekly Hindi schedule may face small changes if there is a break in the Japanese broadcast or a delay in dub work. No delay has been announced right now, so August 7 remains the confirmed date Indian fans should follow.
