A fifth season… I can only express my gratitude for making it this far. Really… I was writing up to about volume four of the manga, hoping it would be made into an anime, and before I knew it, it had grown so big that it still feels like a dream. Once again, this is all thanks to everyone involved with The Hero of the Shield Hero. Season 5 will be a major challenge for Naofumi and his friends, and it will also test their resolve to truly protect the world, so I hope everyone will watch. ■Character design: Seira Minami Congratulations on the announcement of the fifth season! Thank you! Just when you thought you could breathe a sigh of relief as the journey to discover each character’s roots came to an end, episode 12 ended with some intriguing footage. Whether you already know what happens next or not, I hope you’ll feel the excitement, nervousness, and suspense along with Minami as you wait. ■Director: Takawa et al. Did you enjoy Season 4 of Shield Hero? What awaits Naofumi and his friends, who have been preparing for the Phoenix’s revival since Season 3? Please look forward to it. Game project launched! Teaser visual released! Image
