You and I Are Polar Opposites Season 2 has kept fans glued to their screens every single Sunday since July, and the countdown to the next chapter is already on. So when exactly does Episode 5 land, and what time should you actually set your alarm for?
Season 2 has spent its first four episodes doing exactly what made Season 1 such a sleeper hit: taking Suzuki and Tani’s slow-burn romance and layering in the messier, funnier dynamics happening around them. Episode 4, titled New School Term, gave real spotlight time to Taira‘s social anxiety and to Nishi’s friend Honda, while Suzuki and Tani continued settling into their six-month milestone as a couple.
With Taira and Azuma’s tension still simmering and Nishi and Yamada stuck in will-they-won’t-they limbo, there’s a lot riding on where the story goes next.
You and I Are Polar Opposites Season 2 Episode 5 Release Date and Time
Episode 5 of You and I Are Polar Opposites Season 2 is set to release on Sunday, August 2, 2026. Like every episode this season, it will first broadcast in Japan at 5pm JST on MBS, TBS, and their affiliated networks before hitting ABEMA at 5:30pm JST.
For international viewers streaming on Crunchyroll, the episode is expected to go live at roughly 1:30am PT, 4:30am ET, 9:30am BST, 10:30am CEST, 2pm IST, and 6:30pm AEST, following the same rollout pattern the series has used since its premiere.
The anime has stuck to a strict weekly Sunday schedule with no confirmed breaks so far this season, and Crunchyroll has streamed every episode as it airs, complete with a same-day English dub. With 13 episodes confirmed for the season, Episode 5 lands roughly a third of the way through the run, right as the show’s parallel romances start pulling more weight alongside Suzuki and Tani’s central arc.
Expect another 25-ish minute installment that keeps the emphasis on quiet, character-driven beats rather than big dramatic swings, which has become the series’s signature strength.
Episode 6 of You and I Are Polar Opposites Season 2 is expected to follow on Sunday, August 9, 2026.
