The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 4: Release date, cast updates and what to expect next
By Aman Shukla Published on June 23, 2025, 18:00 IST Last updated June 23, 2025, 11:05 IST Alright, Shield Hero fans, the wait's almost over! The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 4 is coming our way, and it's got everyone hyped. This isekai gem, with its mix of gritty drama, epic fights, and Naofumi's epic underdog vibe, is ready to dive into darker territory. So, let's break it down: release date, cast scoop, and what's cooking for the next chapter. When's The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 4 Hitting Screens? Mark your calendars for July 9, 2025—that's when The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 4 kicks off! Kadokawa and Crunchyroll dropped the news, and it's landing in the summer anime lineup alongside heavy-hitters like Dandadan Season 2. The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 4 Cast Updates Good news: the OG voice squad is back to bring Naofumi and his crew to life. Here's who's returning: Kaito Ishikawa as our boy Naofumi, the Shield Hero who's all about grit. Asami Seto as Raphtalia, the heart of the team (and Naofumi's #1). Rina Hidaka as Filo, the sassy filolial queen we all love. Natsuko Hara as Rishia, who's got more courage than she lets on. Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Ren, the Sword Hero trying to redeem himself. Makoto Takahashi as Motoyasu, the Spear Hero (still a bit of a goof). But wait, there's more! Season 4's tossing in two new characters to shake things up: Werner , voiced by Takeo Otsuka (you know, Jinshi from The Apothecary Diaries ). He's a demi-human from Siltvelt's shusaku race, and he sounds like a big deal. Jaralis, brought to life by Jiro Saito (Denken in Frieren ). This lion-type demi-human's got brains and brawn, so expect some drama. What's the Story Gonna Be Like? Season 4's diving headfirst into the Wrath Dragon Arc, and it's picking up right where that Season 3 cliffhanger left us hanging. Naofumi's crew is headed to Q'ten Lo, a nation that's got beef with Raphtalia 'cause of her royal blood. The trailer's got this tagline, 'The return of the exiled,' which is basically screaming that Raphtalia's past is about to take center stage. Get ready for some feels . We're talking big battles, shady politics, and Naofumi stepping up as a legit leader among the Cardinal Heroes. The trailer's packed with intense sword clashes, grim faces, and a vibe that's way darker than Season 3's chill moments. There's talk of a Phoenix causing chaos, plus those new guys, Werner and Jaralis, who might be friends… or not. Either way, it's gonna be wild. After Season 2 got some flak for dragging, Season 3 bounced back with better pacing. Now, with Kinema Citrus running the show and Hitoshi Haga directing, fans are hoping for that Season 1 magic. The visuals look crisp, and Kevin Penkin's music is gonna hit us right in the soul. I'm calling it now: this season's gonna be a banger.
