Goldy Pond could have saved the series' controversial Season 2.

The Promised Neverland was a critically acclaimed and commercially successful manga series that mixed dark themes and gory action with cerebral storytelling and a unique art style before being adapted into a smash-hit anime of similar quality that fans immediately flocked to. But by the time the second season came around, the anime took a huge hit creatively as the best manga story of the series — the Goldy Pond arc — was nowhere to be found.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Premiering to a level of hype usually only reserved for the most popular shōnen anime, The Promised Neverland season 2 released in 2021 to mostly negative reviews. Where the original season was a mostly faithful adaptation of the manga, the second season threw most of the remaining story — over one hundred manga chapters — to the wind, cutting and abbreviating iconic moments and arcs fans had waited years to see on the small screen.

Goldy Pond Was Never Seen In The Promised Neverland Anime Written by Kaiu Shirai and illustrated by Posuka Demizu, the Goldy Pond arc ran from chapter #64 to chapter #95 and kicked off after Emma, Ray, and the other escaped orphans from Grace Field House find an underground bunker occupied by an adult human initially only known as “Geezer.

Promised Neverland Deserved Better In The Anime's Second Season This arc saw the series in top form as it combined all the best elements of what had already been established in the manga and added a unique twist on the human vs demon conflict, with Emma and Ray’s trip reinforcing their need to do whatever it takes to make it out of the demon world alive and with as many of their friends and family members as possible.
