Nevertheless, the answer in this case should’ve been to trim down or compress the arc (as was done with previous episodes) instead of skipping it outright. If adapted as is, there is an argument to be made that it could undermine the focus of The Promised Neverland season 2 somewhat, especially with only 11 episodes to spare.

It also sees Emma and Ray being separated from the rest of the Grace Field escapees to go on a solo adventure with a new cast of characters. Although it does introduce such iconic characters as ‘Mister’ and Grand Duke Leuven, it doesn’t really advance the overall search for Minerva or Emma’s objective of finding a way to the human world. The first reason for this could be that the Goldy Pond arc is, ultimately, quite inconsequential to the overall narrative. Why Would The Promised Neverland Season 2 Skip Goldy Pond? The amount of rage and anger floating around The Promised Neverland fan community right now is palpable, so this merits an explanation. The big question is, therefore, why? Goldy Pond is a beloved story arc that introduces no small amount of characters and was arguably the series’ last great narrative before settling into a long-term decline. In fact, it’s hard to even think of the last time that a Jump manga got this sort of adaptational treatment. Given that the magazine has such a large audience, studios don’t tend to feel the need to compress or skip story for fear of not getting another season: this would be the equivalent of Studio MAPPA skipping the Goodwill Event arc of Jujutsu Kaisen to get to the Shibuya Incident. Even when it does adapt it, it only adapts some of it, and whole arcs, such as the Goldy Pond Battle arc, are left on the cutting room floor.įor a Weekly Shonen Jump adaptation, this is very unusual. The net result of all of this is that The Promised Neverland season 2 has skipped almost a third of the original manga. In any case, by the time we end up at episode five (the latest episode of The Promised Neverland season 2 as of the time of writing) we’re firmly into content from the King of Paradise arc, alongside a whole host of other anime-original content. Similarly, this appears to be taken from the Cuvitidala arc, but the key character of Andrew is not present. Episodes one and two do adapt the Promised Forest arc relatively quickly, but this works surprisingly well episode three then leads into what appears to be the Search for Minerva arc, but this is quickly cut across in episode four when pursuers from Grace Field House infiltrate the bunker. This transformative approach didn’t really become apparent until the second half of episode four, and was eventually confirmed in a big way by the entirety of episode five. Massive spoilers for The Promised Neverland season 2 up until episode 5 ahead. With this in mind, the question is: why would the team over at CloverWorks decide to so radically alter the original structure and content of the manga? There’s absolutely zero chance it wouldn’t get renewed for a third, or even fourth season. All spoilers to the manga (that aren't mentioned yet in the story) will be deleted for the sake of the non-manga readers.How could anything really go wrong for The Promised Neverland season 2? It’s adapting a best-selling Weekly Shonen Jump manga, following up on a very well-received first season, and producing mountains of merchandise in the process.
