It’s hardly been less than two months since The Rising of the Shield Hero anime concluded its second season, and the franchise has already announced the third.
After the defeat of the Spirit Tortoise and Naofumi gaining respect for his act of heroism, the shield hero now aims to rebuild the land he acquired. The upcoming season might sound lame right now, but its visual says otherwise.
The Rising of the Shield Hero anime’s official website has unveiled a dark new key visual for season 3. More details regarding the release date will be shared by the franchise soon.

Following a menacing theme, the visual features a spear-wielding individual sitting in a post-war land. If you look closely, you can see a sword and tiara on the ground, confirming the adaptation of the Fallen Heroes arc too.
Since the anime always provides a significant number of episodes in a season, we can expect this one to adapt the novel’s various arcs as well.
Moreover, the anime has also revealed a change in director for this season. Here is the entire staff lineup as announced on the website:
| Position | Staff | Other Works |
| Director | Hitoshi Haga | Made in Abyss (Assistant Director) |
| Series Composer & Screenplay | Keigo Koyanagi | Sirius the Jaeger |
| Music | Kevin Penkin | Tower of God |
| Animation Production | Kinema Citrus | Bottom Biting Bug |
The anime has had three different directors for all of its seasons now, suggesting that we might see a new name for the fourth season too.
Fallen Heroes arc packs much more action and dread, canceling the anime’s usual gags and cheerful energy.
So naturally, fans are excited to see the characters face an enemy that might bring the age of heroes to an end. Do you think Naofumi and his party will be able to come out victorious? Let us know.
