by A new teaser PV has been released for “Disney Twisted Wonderland The Animation Episode of Savanaclaw,” the second installment of the Disney Twisted Wonderland The Animation series. The upcoming anime will focus on Savanaclaw Dormitory, one of the seven dormitories at Night Raven College, and is scheduled to stream exclusively on Disney+ from December 2026.
The newly released promotional video offers a closer look at Leona Kingscholar, whose powerful magic and complicated personality make him one of the most intriguing characters in the story. The PV also hints at a mysterious plan being carried out by the Savanaclaw students, suggesting that the new arc could bring a major conflict to Night Raven College.
In addition, it has been announced that popular voice actress Fairouz Ai will play Yuuga Hirasaka, a new character who becomes stranded in Twisted Wonderland and unexpectedly finds himself caught up in Leona and his companions’ plans.
Leona’s Inner Conflict Takes Center Stage
The teaser PV puts considerable emphasis on Leona Kingscholar, the leader of Savanaclaw Dormitory.
Leona is an exceptionally powerful mage, but he is also known for his unwillingness to put in unnecessary effort. As the second prince of his homeland, he has spent much of his life feeling overshadowed and frustrated by circumstances beyond his control.
In the new PV, Leona reflects on his bleak outlook on life, saying:
“There are so many things in this world that you can’t do anything about no matter how hard you try. That’s why I won’t be picky about the means.”
The line provides an important glimpse into Leona’s mindset and suggests that his actions in the upcoming arc will be driven by more than simple ambition.
Rather than presenting him as a straightforward villain, Episode of Savanaclaw appears ready to explore the complicated emotions behind his decisions, including his frustration, loneliness, and determination to overcome the circumstances that have defined his life.
Ruggie’s Mysterious Plan Raises Questions
Leona isn’t the only Savanaclaw character receiving attention in the teaser.
Ruggie Bucchi, one of Leona’s closest associates, appears with an ominous smile while discussing a mysterious plan. When Leona asks, “How is the plan going?”, Ruggie confidently replies:
“Of course, everything is going smoothly, Leona-san.”
The exchange immediately raises questions about what the Savanaclaw students are planning and who could ultimately be affected.
Ruggie’s clever and resourceful personality makes him particularly well suited to carrying out a complicated scheme. His relationship with Leona is also an important part of Savanaclaw’s story, as the two have very different personalities yet often work together.
Meanwhile, Jack Howl appears noticeably confused by the situation. His reaction suggests that he may not be completely comfortable with whatever Leona and Ruggie are preparing.
The teaser therefore creates an intriguing contrast between the three main Savanaclaw characters: Leona’s determination, Ruggie’s calculating nature, and Jack’s more straightforward personality.
Yuuga Hirasaka Gets Lost in Twisted Wonderland
One of the biggest announcements accompanying the teaser PV is the addition of Yuuga Hirasaka, voiced by Fairouz Ai.
Yuuga is a high school student who was active in his school’s judo club. However, after participating in a club competition, he encounters a mysterious carriage while returning home.
The strange encounter transports him to Twisted Wonderland, a world completely different from his own.
Like the protagonist of the original Twisted Wonderland story, Yuuga must find a way to understand this unfamiliar world. While searching for a way home, he ends up staying at Night Raven College.
However, Yuuga soon becomes involved in the mysterious activities surrounding Leona and the Savanaclaw students.
His arrival adds a new perspective to the story because he is unfamiliar with the rules, people, and magical systems of Twisted Wonderland. This could also make him an important audience-surrogate character for viewers who are discovering the world through the anime.
Fairouz Ai’s casting adds further excitement, particularly because she is known for her energetic and expressive performances across anime and games.
Savanaclaw Is Inspired by The Lion King
Night Raven College is divided into seven dormitories, each inspired by one of the legendary “Great Seven” from the Twisted Wonderland universe.
Savanaclaw is inspired by the King of Beasts, whose theme is connected to Disney’s The Lion King.
The dormitory emphasizes characteristics such as strength, survival, determination, and competitiveness. These themes are reflected strongly in Leona, Ruggie and Jack.
Leona’s character, in particular, carries many of the themes associated with Savanaclaw. He possesses extraordinary magical ability but struggles with feelings of resignation and frustration.
The new anime arc is therefore expected to explore not only the dormitory’s conflicts but also the emotional motivations that influence its students.
Familiar Characters Also Appear in the New PV
Although the story focuses on Savanaclaw, the teaser makes it clear that the events will not remain isolated to one dormitory.
Several familiar characters from Heartslabyul appear in the video, including:
- Riddle Rosehearts
- Ace Trappola
- Deuce Spade
- Trey Clover
- Cater Diamond
- Grim
Their reactions suggest that the mysterious events unfolding around Savanaclaw could have consequences for students across Night Raven College.
One particularly striking moment shows Trey Clover collapsing to the ground and appearing to be in pain, while the other characters react with surprise.
The PV does not explain what causes these events, leaving viewers with plenty of questions ahead of the December premiere.
What Is Disney Twisted Wonderland?
Disney Twisted Wonderland is a popular school adventure game developed around characters inspired by iconic Disney villains.
The project is particularly notable because Yana Toboso, the creator of Black Butler, is responsible for the original concept, main scenario,o and character designs.
The story takes place at Night Raven College, a prestigious magic school whose seven dormitories are based on the ideals and personalities associated with Disney’s legendary villains.
Rather than simply retelling Disney stories, Twisted Wonderland takes familiar concepts and transforms them into an original fantasy setting featuring new characters, rivalries and relationships.
This combination of Disney-inspired themes, Yana Toboso’s distinctive character designs and a detailed magical-school setting helped the franchise build a large international fanbase.
The Anime Adaptation Continues With Savanaclaw
The first animated installment, “Disney Twisted Wonderland The Animation Episode of Heartslabyul,” began streaming in October 2025.
The anime adaptation is based on the manga version of the franchise, while retaining the central world and characters of the original game.
The series later received international attention after being nominated for Best Otherworldly Animation at the 2026 Crunchyroll Anime Awards.
With Episode of Savanaclaw, the anime is now moving into another major storyline and expanding its focus beyond the first dormitory.
For existing fans, the new season offers an opportunity to see Leona, Rugg, i.e., and Jack receive greater attention. For newcomers, it provides another entry point into the larger Twisted Wonderland universe.
A New Conflict Is About to Begin
The biggest mystery surrounding Episode of Savanaclaw is the nature of the plan being discussed by Leona and Ruggie.
The teaser deliberately reveals only fragments of the situation. Leona appears determined to achieve something despite the obstacles in his way, while Ruggie seems confident that everything is progressing exactly as planned.
At the same time, Yuuga’s unexpected arrival and the involvement of characters from other dormitories suggest that the consequences could extend throughout Night Raven College.
The story appears ready to explore themes of ambition, inequality, frustration, determination, and the desire to overcome one’s circumstances—all of which are closely connected to Leona’s character.

Final Thoughts
The Disney Twisted Wonderland The Animation Episode of Savanaclaw teaser PV suggests that the upcoming arc will be considerably more than a simple continuation of the story.
Leona’s troubled past, Ruggie’s suspicious activities, Jack’s uncertainty, and Yuuga Hirasaka’s unexpected arrival all point toward a potentially dramatic storyline. The involvement of characters from other dormitories also suggests that the Savanaclaw conflict could have much wider consequences.
With Fairouz Ai joining the cast as Yuuga Hirasaka and the anime scheduled to stream exclusively on Disney+ from December 2026, Twisted Wonderland fans have plenty to look forward to.
The question now is simple: What exactly is Leona planning—and how far will the Savanaclaw dormitory go to make that plan a reality?
