The story, despite the usual clichés, remains at excellent levels with a more direct and rapid narrative that flows very well.
The characters remain the strong point of the anime: those introduced in this second season leave their mark and the arcs of the characters present from the beginning evolve greatly. Bryan Hawk was an excellent villain and Yamada's return was fantastic. Only note: Kimura's "waste". After the excellent performance in the OVA where he faced Mashiba, in this season he returns to being a marginal character and does nothing interesting.
The soundtrack, in my opinion, has even improved compared to the first season. Especially during the fight scenes, very high levels are reached.
The mix between drama and comedy also continues to work very well, with heartbreaking stories and episodes interspersed very well with other lighter and funnier episodes.
I found the animation good but slightly inferior to that of the first due to less fluidity. Nothing too serious, though.
A great follow-up to the first season which is very enjoyable but does not reach the heights of the memorable first season.
