When will the second installment of The Rising Of The Shield Hero release?

The sequel was scheduled to be released in October of 2021, but the release date was delayed until next year’s April due to some issues.

Showrunners also confirmed that season 3 wouldn’t take long to release. Instead, it will follow the second season shortly. Did not disclose the reasons behind the 2nd season’s delay completely.

They announced that the pandemic is the real reason behind the season’s delay. As the production was hindered by it, the anime was unable to release on time. However, fans believe that there are some other reasons behind it, which they are unwilling to tell.

Will the voice cast come back for the sequel of the show?

Nothing regarding the voice cast has been announced yet. Deducing from this, hopefully, there aren’t any changes in the voice cast.

But depending on the story development, there might be some additions to the voice cast due to new characters. And if this is the case, then The Rising of The Shield Hero’s official social media accounts will update its fans.

Up till now, it looks like most of the original cast will be coming back. This means that you’ll get to hear:

  Kaito Ishikawa as the voice of Naofumi

  Asami Seto as the voice of Raphtalia

  Rina Hidaka as the voice of Filo

  Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as the voice of Ren Amaki

  Makoto Takahashi as the voice of Motoyasu Kitamura

  Yoshitaka Yamaya as the voice of Itsuki Kawasumi

  Maaya Uchida as the voice of Melty

Other than this, there are certain production changes too. Takao Abo will direct the show’s sequel. According to some insiders, this time, Kinema Citrus and the South Korean animation studio are working together to produce the second season of The Rising of The Shield.

What will the plot of The Rising of The Shield Hero’s sequel explore?

The writers haven’t given much information on the plot, but they have hinted at some of it. For instance, the new battles in the upcoming season will be very violent. Each character of the show will reach the maximum of their powers to be an exciting season.

As the anime is based on the novel (of the same name), the plot will also be similar. But there might be some slight changes as the adaptations are not always exact.

As shown in the trailer, things will resume from where they ended in season 1. We will most likely get to see more of Glass in season 2 as the first season couldn’t focus on her much and because her character arc is incomplete.

We are expecting to see more of Naofumi’s adventures outside the kingdom he was in. Most likely, these decisions’ consequences will make the main storyline for the second installment.

Where can I watch the trailer for The Rising of The Shield Hero’s sequel?

You can watch the trailer on YouTube.

The official trailer teased Naofumi’s new adventures and characters who will be joining his party.

But there is still one year left for its release. And we hope that the wait will be worth it. So, that was everything relevant you needed to know about the show’s renewal.
