This latest installment continues the fantastical adventures of the sentient vending machine, Boxxo, and his companion, Lammis, amidst the increasingly perilous challenges of their dungeon world.

For viewers outside of Japan, Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon Season 2 is available for streaming on Crunchyroll. New episodes are typically released on Wednesdays, with English subtitles made available first, followed by same-day English dubs. The second season is slated to consist of 12 episodes in total.
Major Revelations: The Emergence of “The Field”
Episode 7, “The Field,” introduces a groundbreaking concept that expands the lore of this fantasy world. Viewers meet Kikoyu, a new character who has befriended and can perfectly communicate with “The Field,” another individual who was reincarnated as an inanimate object—specifically, a literal field. This revelation challenges the previous understanding that Boxxo was an utterly unique existence in this world, suggesting that reincarnation into inanimate objects might be more common than even seasoned experts like Director Bear or Hulemy had believed.
“The Field” is depicted as a farming enthusiast who, after reincarnation, possessed magical abilities as a field, enabling them to grow various crops and even battle the Demon Lord. Kikoyu’s relationship with “The Field” draws direct parallels to Lammis’s bond with Boxxo, as Kikoyu also serves as a vital communication link and companion for the inanimate being.
Shifting Dynamics and Character Focus
The introduction of Kikoyu and her ability to directly communicate with “The Field” by touch raises questions about Boxxo’s future interactions. Previously, Lammis had to interpret Boxxo’s limited vending machine phrases to understand his intentions and feelings. Episode 7 hints at new communication possibilities for Boxxo, potentially allowing for more direct dialogue, which could significantly alter the established dynamic between him and Lammis.
Lammis herself remains a central figure in Season 2, grappling with profound personal trauma and survivor’s guilt following the monster attack on their village. Her journey this season has seen her driven to extreme lengths, often recklessly, to protect her friends and deal with past wounds, particularly concerning the reappearance of the individual responsible for destroying her childhood village. The episode underscores Lammis’s unwavering devotion to Boxxo, illustrating her willingness to face immense danger to remain by his side.
Season 2 Overview: A Darker Tone
Season 2 of Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon has adopted a noticeably darker tone compared to its predecessor. The narrative shifted dramatically with the overrun of Boxxo’s village by monsters, leading to significant loss of life and forcing the protagonists into a desperate defensive battle. Despite the grim circumstances, Boxxo continues to be a source of solace and support for the survivors, providing essential supplies and snacks. The season has also showcased Boxxo’s evolving abilities, including new and powerful attacks. The series continues to blend its signature absurd humor with increasingly serious character development and plot stakes.
