So, here's the thing about Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon (Jidou Hanbaiki ni Umarekawatta Ore wa Meikyuu wo Samayou), it wrapped up its third season in a way that felt oddly complete for a show about a guy who got isekai'd into a soda machine. But fans aren't ready to let go, and honestly, who could blame them. This one has become a comfort watch for a lot of people, and now everyone's asking the same thing in the comments sections everywhere, is there any chance we get more of Boxxo and his ridiculous dungeon adventures.

Let's break down what's actually known, what's just hopeful guessing, and what the story left on the table.

A Quick Look Back at How Season 3 Ended

If you watched the finale, you already know it delivered. The fight against the Netherlord had Boxxo splitting into a small army of vending machine clones, and at one point they literally turned into jukeboxes just to blast the opening theme song mid battle. It sounds absurd typing it out, but somehow it worked, and it's become one of those scenes people bring up whenever they talk about this show. It perfectly captures Boxxo's whole spirit, a character who, even without arms or a mouth to express himself, keeps pushing forward. As Boxxo himself reflects in the light novel,

"I have no arms to hold her as she sobs, and I don't have a mouth to give her words of comfort, but from the bottom of my heart, I'm glad I met you." – Boxxo

Beyond the fight, Season 3 finally gave Lammis and Boxxo their moment, a real mutual confession after two seasons of will they won't they. We also got a peek at Boxxo's human form near the end, something tied to his Transform ability that only lasts thirty minutes at a time. The season closed on the group heading off toward a brand-new dungeon, which left just enough of a door open for people to start speculating.

Why A Full Season 4 Probably Isn't Coming Soon

Here's the part that's a little disappointing depending on how you look at it. The anime has already caught up to and finished the entire web novel. There's simply no more finished story left to adapt right now. What's wild is that the original light novel actually got canceled years ago after only three volumes because of weak sales, and it was the manga's popularity that convinced Kadokawa to greenlight the anime in the first place. Boxxo's journey was always built around an unshakeable self-belief though, which comes through even in the source material where he declares,

"Believe in the vending machine. Become the vending machine. I am a vending machine. I will understand my body!" - Boxxo

They even brought the light novel back as a remake afterward, with a fourth volume dropping last year, but that's just retelling the same story that's already been animated, not new content.

So, most people watching this closely have kind of made peace with the idea that Season 4 in the traditional sense isn't happening anytime soon. That said, it's not a total dead end. There are bonus epilogue chapters in the web novel, and the author edited the print volumes specifically to align with the anime reaching Season 3. That leaves room for something smaller, maybe an OVA or a short special, even if a full new season doesn't materialize.

What Any New Episodes Would Probably Cover

If a special or a short sequel series does eventually get made, here is roughly what the narrative would likely cover based on the leftover web novel epilogues and the finale's setup:

  1. Navigating Boxxo's unique transformation rules, maintaining his thirty-minute daily human form while exploring relationship limits
  2. The new dungeon hinted right at the end of Season 3
  3. More screen time for the regular cast members, like the dynamic members of the Hunters Association
  4. A potential adaptation of the web novel's extra epilogue material, utilizing the newly updated print volumes
  5. Some lighter, slower paced episodes just letting Lammis and Boxxo exist as an actual couple now that the confession is out of the way

A Realistic Guess at Timing

Looking at how this franchise has moved before, Season 1, Season 2, and Season 3 all premiered within a three-year span, which reflects a relatively rapid anime production timeline. If any new material does get greenlit down the line, whether that's a full season built around the leftover chapters or just a short special, sometime around 2027 or 2028 feels like a fair guess. Nothing has been confirmed though, so take that as speculation and not a promise.

Anyone catching up can stream the full series on Crunchyroll, and it's worth rewatching the official Season 3 trailer again just to remember how much fun that final stretch was.

What Fans Are Actually Saying About It

The general mood online is honestly kind of grateful more than anything. A lot of people admit they went in expecting a one and done meme show and ended up staying for three full seasons, which is more than most isekai titles ever get. There's real appreciation for the fact this story actually finished instead of trailing off with no ending. At the same time, plenty of viewers are holding onto that final dungeon teaser as a small sign there could be more down the road, and interest in a Field focused spinoff keeps coming up too.

If you're into this kind of anime speculation, we've also covered similar release predictions for An Observation Log of My Fiancée Season 2 and Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk Season 2, both worth checking out. Whether Season 4 happens or not, Boxxo's bizarre journey has already left its mark on the isekai genre.
