A Wild Last Boss Appeared! anime drops intense preview ahead of October premiere

It’s all aura farming and chaos in the new preview clip of A Wild Last Boss Appeared!, with Lufas tearing through enemies with ease.

A new action-packed preview clip for A Wild Last Boss Appeared! anime has been released ahead of the anime’s official broadcast in October 2025. The fantasy series, based on light novels published in English by J-Novel Club, is ramping up anticipation with a 174-second battle scene lifted straight from the opening of Episode 1.

The clip featured an intense showdown between Lufas and some warriors who seem to be part of the Twelve Stars.

Alongside the sneak peek, the production also revealed four new cast members who will join the story’s ensemble of celestial warriors:

  • Shunsuke Takeuchi as Alioth
  • Tomoaki Maeno as Megrez
  • Daiki Hirakawa as Merak
  • Satomi Akesaka as Benetnash

These characters are part of the Twelve Heavenly Stars, key figures in the story's expansive lore.

NIJIYON ANIMATION’s Yuya Horiuchi takes the director’s chair for the anime adaptation, which is being produced at studio WAO World. The series composition is handled by Kazuyuki Fudeyasu, known for his work on Shangri-La Frontier. Character designs are by Maiko Ebisawa, while music is composed by TECHNOBOYS PULCRAFT GREEN-FUND (Acro Trip).

The first teaser visuals and additional cast reveals were shared earlier this year, adding to the growing buzz surrounding the adaptation. 

What is A Wild Last Boss Appeared! about?

A Wild Last Boss Appeared! is about a man who wakes up in the body of his old MMO character, Lufas Maphaahl, a powerful villain known as the Black-Winged Tyrant. It's been 200 years since she was defeated in the game Exgate Online, but now he's stuck living as her in what seems to be the real world, not just a game.

With her name feared across the land and her old rule long gone, Lufas must explore this new version of the world, find out what happened after her fall, and face the monsters that appeared in her absence.
