It has been announced that the special program "TV Anime 'Hell Mode - The Hardcore Gamer Dominates in Another World with Garbage Balancing' SP Special" will be broadcast exclusively for free on ABEMA starting at 8:00 PM on Friday, February 20th.

"Hell Mode - The Hardcore Gamer Dominates in Another World with Garbage Balancing" is an isekai fantasy work based on a light novel written by Hamuo and illustrated by Mo. The story begins when Kenichi Yamada, a 35-year-old salaryman who loves games, starts playing on the highest difficulty mode "Hell Mode" and finds himself reincarnated as Allen, a serf boy in another world. The tale depicts the adventure of a former hardcore gamer climbing his way to become the strongest in a harsh world where no strategy guides or message boards exist. The original work has surpassed 2.5 million copies in cumulative circulation (including e-books) for the series, and the TV anime began broadcasting in January 2026.

The confirmed special program will feature main cast members Mutsumi Tamura (Allen), Mayu Iizuka (Krena), and Sayaka Senbongi (Cecil). With Tenshin Hantaro as MC, they will engage in discussions looking back at the story so far and highlighting future points of interest. Additionally, in a segment titled "Let's Think of Original Summoned Beasts!", the cast members will present summoned beasts they have conceptualized.

Furthermore, just before the special program broadcast, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM on the same day, a free marathon rebroadcast of the anime up to the latest episode 6 will also be conducted.
