Spy gadgets, family drama, and explosive espionage action are back in full force! For fans eagerly following the undercover antics of the Yozakura household, the wait for fresh content is finally over. Following its highly anticipated premiere on April 12 across the MBS and TBS networks in Japan, the creditless opening and ending sequences for Mission: Yozakura Family (Yozakura-san Chi no Daisakusen) Season 2 have officially been released online. If you have been keeping up with our updates on the new season, this is the perfect time to catch a glimpse of the stunning new visuals.
New Theme Songs by Sakurazaka46 and Pilaf Seijin
A new cour means new music, and the production team has delivered spectacular tracks to set the tone for the upcoming covert operations. The brand-new opening theme, titled “What’s ‘KAZOKU’?”, is performed by the wildly popular Japanese idol group Sakurazaka46. Their energetic performance perfectly captures the chaotic yet heartwarming bond of the unconventional spy family.
Meanwhile, the ending sequence shifts to a slightly different vibe, featuring the track “Shalala” by the talented artist Pilaf Seijin. Both sequences beautifully animate the cast in high-stakes situations while emphasizing their unique family dynamics, proving exactly why this series continues to climb the ranks of top-tier comedy anime.
What Is Mission: Yozakura Family About?
If you are new to the series, Mission: Yozakura Family is a thrilling spy family comedy-battle hybrid based on the hit shounen manga by Hitsuji Gondaira. The story follows Taiyo Asano, a profoundly shy high school student who completely closed off his heart after tragically losing his family in an accident. The only person he can comfortably speak to is his childhood friend, Mutsumi Yozakura. However, Mutsumi is hiding a massive secret—she is the current head of a historical, elite family of spies, making her a constant target for various underworld assassins.
To make matters more complicated, Mutsumi’s older brother, Kyoichiro, is known as the ultimate, most dangerous spy in the world, and he harbors an intensely overprotective obsession with his sister. Viewing Taiyo as a threat to Mutsumi’s safety, Kyoichiro marks him for “elimination.” In a desperate bid to protect both Mutsumi and himself, Taiyo takes the only logical step left: he marries Mutsumi, officially joining the Yozakura family to gain their absolute protection. What follows is an unprecedented, action-packed mission of survival, love, and espionage that rivals the best romantic comedy anime on the market.
