86 Season 2 finally premiered this weekend, answering our many questions after the first cour's tragic finale. Thankfully, it didn't stop there but brought other questions for us to ponder on, as it completely changed a fact we took for granted regarding the show's worldbuilding.

At the heart of our thoughts about the newest episodes lies our uncertainty about our two main characters. Lena has no idea about Shin's faith, nor is there any way to find out what is happening outside of San Magnolia. Meanwhile, characters we were deeply worried about are paradoxically doing much better than we thought - even so, there are still sinister implications about their future.

The first episode of Season 2 was a perfect re-introduction that worked with what the show already had while taking it a step further. If you can't wait to delve into Eighty-Six again, keep reading. Below you'll find everything you need to know about 86 Season 2 Episode 2, including the episode's release date, release time, and more!

Warning: Spoilers about the premiere of 86 below!

As the second season of Eighty Six opens, the citizens of San Magnolia remain oblivious about the sacrifices of the young soldiers from 86. Meanwhile, Lena has been demoted because of her attempts to help Shin and his comrades.

Nevertheless, her skills ensure that she still works as Handler One, with a new fraction of soldiers from 86. Her relationship with them isn't as open and friendly, but they respect her devotion and desire to help them live as long as possible. To achieve that, Lena uses her reputation as leverage to ensure more resources for her soldiers.

Meanwhile, Shin wakes up in a hospital and finds out that his friends survived as well. They are welcomed by a man called Ernst Zimerman, who informs them that the Giad Empire has been destroyed due to a rebellion, and repurposed as the Federacy of Giad, with him as a provisional leader.

Ernst's attempts to make the young survivors welcome are occasionally over-the-top and not entirely successful, leaving as unsure about his exact motives. But for the time being, Shin and his friends seem safe, living in Zimerman's household, and having been granted citizenship.

In Zimerman's house, Shin meets Frederica Rozenford, a young girl in the custody of Zimerman. After the newcomers from 86 retire for the night, Zimerman discusses with his maid, as he isn't sure whether taking in the young former soldiers was the right thing to do. It is revealed that Frederica is actually the Empress of the former Giad Empire.
