A renewed wave of speculation has hit online fan communities following rumours that 86 season 3 has been green‑lit by A‑1 Pictures.
Reddit users on r/EightySix widely expressed hope, even amid acknowledgement of no official confirmation. One commenter wrote that concern remains “no current word on it” but termed it “just a waiting game to see if it gets announced”.
Others joked with hopeful tone: “Yes!! I am a time traveller from the year 2124 yes there is a season two… just you wait”.
Fans point out that only three of the thirteen light novel volumes have been animated so far, leaving ample content for further seasons. Some note that the light novels could sustain “a dozen seasons” and that “there’s no reason not to continue the series” given its strong reception.
On platforms like TikTok, posts tagged #86Season3 and #EightySix show eager discussions, countdown videos, and speculation over possible release dates, though none are officially confirmed.
The buzz reflects the depth of the story and characters, with fans highlighting their anticipation for the adaptation of volumes beyond the third. The anime adaptation aired in two parts between April 2021 and March 2022, covering roughly the first three novels.
Viewers cite reasons for enthusiasm including the series’ emotional storytelling, themes of war, discrimination and ethical dilemmas, as portrayed in the source material.
While official confirmation from A‑1 Pictures or the rights holders has yet to arrive, the sustained fan expectation and the unadapted volumes make the prospect of season 3 highly anticipated across the anime community.
