Last updated: July 2026
Release Status
Round 2 pairs Ivan against Till in VIVINOS' Zombie Stage (ZOMST) tournament bracket — confirmed in the Teaser PV (YouTube nok_uL-0cD0, June 5, 2026). As of July 6, 2026, no official Round 2 video has published on the VIVINOS YouTube channel. This page tracks announced information only; it will expand into a full episode guide when the upload drops.
Round 1 (Mizi vs Sua, June 26, 2026) established the production template: roughly five-minute animated shorts with original OST, horror choreography, and human-audience broadcast framing. Round 2 is expected to follow the same YouTube-first release model.
Tournament Bracket Context
The teaser discloses a three-node bracket: Round 1 (Mizi/Sua, released), Round 2 (Ivan/Till, pending), and a Grand Finale centered on Luka. In-universe ordering implies Round 2 follows Round 1 chronologically within the criminal survival program, though Hyuna infiltration scenes may run parallel — see Hyuna's profile.
Round 1's climax left Mizi and Sua's post-bout status unresolved. Round 2 may or may not reference Round 1 outcomes; no official synopsis exists yet.
Ivan vs Till — What We Know
Both fighters are core Alien Stage cast reimagined in the zombie AU. Ivan's parent-series persona emphasizes control, obsession, and volatile intimacy toward Till — dynamics likely amplified when syndicate producers pair them for paying human spectators. Till brings defiance and physicality familiar from Alien Stage rounds featuring his rivalry with Ivan.
Teaser visuals show both characters with infection markers and broadcast UI, suggesting Round 2 will package their bout as premium syndicate content. Full profiles: Ivan, Till.
Alien Stage Parallels
Alien Stage features multiple Ivan/Till-focused rounds and songs exploring power, harm, and confession. ZOMST Round 2 will likely remix those emotional beats inside horror staging — similar to how Round 1 inverted Mizi/Sua's Alien Stage Round 1 chase. Fans refreshing Alien Stage Ivan/Till history before Round 2 may catch deeper callbacks; use Alien Stage vs Zombie Stage for structured comparison.
Parent franchise news from Anime Expo 2026 (Alien Stage anime, 3D LIVE tour) does not include ZOMST Round 2 content.
What to Expect When It Releases
Based on Round 1 patterns: performance segment, confrontation or pursuit choreography, new OST track (title unannounced), gemstone infection reveals, and audience reaction shots implicating viewers. A scene breakdown guide will launch alongside the episode page when official material publishes.
