Hexad Powers: 2nd Blood

***Hexad Powers: 2nd Blood*** (Japanese: ヘキサドパワーズ：セカンド・ブラッド Hepburn: *Hekisado Pawāzu: Sekando Buraddo*) is a 2017 anime television series and the sequel to *Hexad Powers*. Much more action-oriented, but it keeps its predecessor's comedic elements.

## Plot

Five months have passed since Vivi Albright saved her father from certain death. With Brendan making a full recovery and Vivi's karateka mastery blossoming, Spirit Cross and the other Fusionbuster folk can rest easy... However, that's not all she wrote! A mysterious group enters the fold commandeered by a Liliputian with a vendetta. Now it's up to Spirit Cross to stymie this threat's black scheme, or else it'll be curtains for their beloved megalopolis!
