There is no sign of Sieg Axe finishing in the remaining 5 episodes, so I'm afraid it will end halfway and season 2 will be 3 years later. It reminds me of 30 years ago when Nifty was excited and said, 'Is it really going to end in 2 more episodes?!' and 'If Seele and Gendo have a stand-up comedy, the mystery should be solved in 10 minutes!' It took 25 years to solve it back then.
