Will there be a sword gai season 3

Q: Is Sword Gai The animation finished?

Sword Gai doesnt end. It just stops. Seriously, I dont know if theres a planned second half that Netflix hasnt mentioned or if they just forgot to include episode 13 or what, but episode 12 ends with the most halfhearted middle finger to the audience in recent memory. There is no conclusion.

Sword Gai (Japanese: ソードガイ, Hepburn: Sōdo Gai) is a Japanese manga series written by Toshiki Inoue with original character design by Keita Amemiya and scenario by Wosamu Kine. The first twelve episodes ("Part I") of an anime adaption titled Sword Gai: The Animation were released on Netflix worldwide on March 23, 2018.[2] Part II was released on July 30, 2018.[3][4]

Plot[edit]

Gai is a young man who became an apprentice under a blacksmith named Amon, who found him as newborn holding on to a legendary cursed katana called "Shiryū" that drove his mother into committing suicide rather than let its bloodlust to consume her. The katana is revealed to be one of many cursed weapons that turn the user into a thrall to embody their murderous impulses, the Chrystalis gradually losing their humanity while becoming armored monsters called Busoma. After Gai lost his right arm when a ceremony to quell Shiryū goes awry, Amon forged the sword into a prosthetic limb for Gai. Becoming a chrysalis with the ability to fuse with his weapon, Gai clings on to his humanity while facing the Busoma seeking to exterminate humanity.

Is Sword Gai The animation finished?

Sword Gai doesn't end. It just stops. Seriously, I don't know if there's a planned second half that Netflix hasn't mentioned or if they just forgot to include episode 13 or what, but episode 12 ends with the most halfhearted middle finger to the audience in recent memory. There is no conclusion.

What is the strongest weapon in Sword Gai?

Seiya Ichijo is the strongest Chrysalis that the Shoshidai have available. He possesses the Chakram, a legendary weapon of the Gods.

Will Gai become a Busoma?

Gai insists on fighting him, losing control to the murderous rage of the Shiryu. Ichijo's attempts at awakening Gai only cause Gai to become a Busoma, though this leads to Gai stabbing Ichijo. Ichijo then becomes a Busoma, though succeeds in freeing Gai from the control of the Shiryu.

Does Gai get his arm back?

An abandoned baby boy is adopted and named Gai by swordsmith Amon. He becomes an apprentice, later losing his arm in a ritual gone horribly wrong. After acquiring the Azoth Sword, Miki is ambushed by Marcus and Miura. Amon forges a prosthetic arm out of the sword Shiryu to replace Gai's lost limb.
