The Japanese website Gigazine reported on an "Anime Studio Head Roundtable" that was held at the Machi Asobi event in Tokushima on Friday. Hikaru Kondo, Yutaka Yamamoto, and Masahiko Minami — the heads of ufotable, Ordet, and BONES, respectively — spoke on various topics, and an audience member asked what hypothetical sequels they would like to make. Yamamoto said, "Kannagi," and the audience responded with applause. Minami said "Clockwork Fighters Hiwou's War," and later added that he wants to do a "Sword of the Stranger 2."

Neither Yamamoto nor Minami was announcing that sequels have been green-lit. When Kondo asked Minami if he was really making "Stranger 2," Minami said he was only expressing his desire to do one.
