The second movie in the Washio Sumi no Shou trilogy.
Review: Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru: Washio Sumi no Shou 2 – Tamashii
Right-o friends, today we’re diving head-first into the intense world of “Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru: Washio Sumi no Shou 2 – Tamashii”, or for my fellow English speakers, “Yuki Yuna is a Hero: The Washio Sumi Chapter 2 – Soul”. Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let’s lay down a quick overview, promise I’m keeping it spoiler-free!
In a world where humanity has been pushed to the brink by the enigmatic, destructive “Vertex,” our protagonist, a middle school girl named Washio Sumi, is drafted along with fellow students, Nogi Sonoko and Minowa Gin, to fight for humanity’s survival as part of a specialized “Hero Club”. Tasked with the role of protecting the Shinju, the god-tree that gives humanity its remaining prosperity and protection, their lives take a drastic turn from ordinary school kids to brave defenders of mankind.
The story in the second season builds on this foundation, escalating the stakes, deepening character relationships, and adding several unexpected twists. But that’s enough of that for now, let’s get into that juicy review!

Trust me, the interactions among the characters take on such layered complexity you would think you’re watching a high-budget drama!
Animation and Sound – Grade A-
Guys! The animation and sound design in this series deserves a standing ovation. The fighting sequences are remarkable, with vibrant colors, fluid movements, and vertex attacks that take ‘epic’ to a whole new dimension. Not to mention, the background scores and sound effects do a stellar job of enhancing the mood and tone of each scene.
