Classroom of the Elite fans have reason to be excited about the series. A new arc will soon begin with the release of Classroom of the Elite Year 3 — since high school in Japan lasts for three years, this will be the final saga of the story. To celebrate that, a new trailer has been released.
Not only is a new arc beginning, but the anime will also soon finally start covering the events of Year 2, and news about the upcoming Season 4 could be released very soon. The anime is available on Crunchyroll.

Classroom of the Elite Year 3 Trailer
The official Classroom of the Elite account on X (formerly Twitter) dropped a trailer promoting Classroom of the Elite Year 3 Volume 1, which will be out in a few days in Japan. The trailer is narrated by Akari Kito, who voices Suzune Horikita in the anime. Check it out:
While Kiyotaka Ayanokoji is considered the protagonist of the series, Horikita is a key character and an ally, at least until the end of Year 2. Given the synopsis of Year 3 Volume 1, some fans now even think that she should prevail over Ayanokoji.
Classroom of the Elite Year 3 Vol. 1 Release Date
Year 3 Volume 1 (Y3V1) will be out in Japan on March 24, 2025, and the synopsis changes the course of the story in a completely different way than fans would ever imagine. Now, the former allies in Class D are, for the first time, in Class A — it is the first time that people from Class D have been transferred to Class A. However, someone is missing: Ayanokoji himself.
Being a criminal does not necessarily make you a bad person.
While Horikita and all her peers are now in Class A, Ayanokoji is in Class C instead. And the former allies will now have to defeat him if they want to graduate as Class A. This means that the story is now in some sort of “Everyone VS. Ayanokoji” plot line.
Classroom of the Elite Year 3 has yet to be licensed in English. It is likely that Seven Seas will announce it after concluding Year 2.
Classroom of the Elite Season 4
Season 4 was announced shortly after Season 3 finished broadcasting, but no further details have been released. However, it is likely that news will be revealed either at AnimeJapan 2025 (March 22–23 in Japan) or as soon as Y3V1 is out. This means that we might get some updates, like a trailer or a release window, this weekend or next week.
I have been alone for the past nine years; I don’t mind.
The next season will start adapting Classroom of the Elite Year 2, and fans expect that the main staff of Season 3 will to return to the production. So those who want to pick up the original novel before Season 4 is released should start with Year 2.
