Episode 1 of The Exil Heavy Knight knows how to game the system broadcast on July 2, 2026and it will be streamed on Crunchyroll in North America. The story follows Elymas, who is actually one reincarnator from Japan trapped in a world game, reborn as the eldest son Edvaughn Duke's house.

When his father learns of his chosen class (Heavy Knight), Elymas is marked as a pariah and disowned in favor of her brutal sister, who has picked up a legendary class. So far, the usual setup is for a reincarnation trope.

But then Elimas meets Lucea girl with Harlequin class, which is considered by many to be a failure as well. Little do they know that Elimas is armed with the knowledge of the gaming world that allows him to understand the hidden power of both classes. Together they will form a party and become top-ranked adventurers.

Following a surge in popularity of reincarnation manga and anime, many authors have decided to give the trope another spin. Among them, Nekoko excels at using popular settings with another interesting spin that makes them shine above the rubble. So expect to see amazing things from this anime produced by the studio GoHands.
