Angel Beats Season 2 Plot

Angel Beats revolves around a group of people trying to cross over to the afterlife and find peace. It is set in a limbo where individuals with past trauma had to overcome their pain before moving on. The plot is set around Yuzura Otonashi and Yuri Nakamura, the founder of Shinda Sekai Sensen or SSS. 

SSS is a rebellious group that works against God and Angel, God’s associate. The members of this group criticize the decision of the Almighty who allowed them to face hardships in life. There are other characters called NPC or non-player characters, all of whom are fabricated. The afterlife also consists of shadow antagonists whose mission is to destroy any bonds of love or affection the people stuck in limbo might form. 

It is later revealed that Angel is Kanade Tachibana who later finds peace. In the end, Yuzura stays in limbo, helping other souls find their peace. In real life, two people who look like Yuzura and Kanade meet which implies that their love story might get fulfilled.
