Fans of the unique Isekai series, Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon, received a substantial lore drop with the release of Season 2, Episode 7 on August 13, 2025. The latest installment introduces a new character, Kikoyu, and hints at a broader scope for inanimate object reincarnations within the fantasy world.
The episode, which is available on Crunchyroll with both English subtitles and same-day English dubs, continues the adventures of the sentient vending machine, Boxxo, and his companion, Lamis.
Key Revelations and Character Introductions
Episode 7, titled simply “Episode 7,” dives deeper into the mechanics of reincarnation within the series’ world. The introduction of Kikoyu, a new character seeking to reunite with “The Field,” reveals that Boxxo might not be as unique as previously thought. “The Field” is described as another human who was reincarnated as an inanimate object—specifically, a literal field.
Kikoyu carries a piece of “The Field” that not only retains some of his power but also allows for perfect communication when touched, a capability that even Boxxo and Lamis have yet to fully achieve despite Boxxo’s recent speech abilities. This connection draws a strong parallel between Kikoyu’s relationship with “The Field” and Lamis’s bond with Boxxo, highlighting the deep devotion both characters share for their extraordinary companions. Lamis’s willingness to undertake dangerous and reckless actions to be with Boxxo is further emphasized in this episode, mirroring Kikoyu’s own determined quest.
Boxxo’s Evolving Journey
Throughout Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon Season 2, Boxxo, voiced by Jun Fukuyama, continues to navigate his peculiar existence. Originating as a vending machine enthusiast who met an untimely end by being crushed by a vending machine in his previous life, he found himself reborn in a dungeon. Despite his immobility and initial limitation to programmed vending machine phrases, Boxxo utilizes his ability to dispense items and convert sales into points to survive and adapt. His ongoing adventures with the super-strong hunter Lamis (voiced by Kaede Hondo), who carries him on her back, form the core of the narrative.
Previous episodes in Season 2 have seen Boxxo employing his unique abilities in unexpected ways, such as transforming into a pressure washer or a massive ice machine to combat threats like parts of the Netherlord. These inventive uses of his vending machine form continue to be a highlight of the series.
