The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 4 Hypes Raphtalia Arc With New Trailer

The popular anime series “The Rising of the Shield Hero” is set to launch its main storyline for Season 4 this Summer. A new trailer reveals that Raphtalia, a significant character, will take center stage in the upcoming episodes. Previously, the first half of Season 4 took an unexpected turn as Naofumi Iwatani and his group found themselves delayed from reaching Raphtalia’s homeland while trying to address her urgent matters. Now, it’s time to progress and follow the storyline further.

In the latest installment of “The Rising of the Shield Hero,” Naofumi and his companions finally embarked towards Q’ten Lo. Upon reaching Raphtalia’s homeland, it became evident that all was not well. As the series gears up to unveil secrets about Raphtalia and her home country, you can watch a new trailer for “The Rising of the Shield Hero” Season 4 below, offering a tantalizing sneak peek at its upcoming episodes.

What’s Next for The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 4

Discussing with ComicBook over the summer, Kaito Ishikawa, voice actor for Naofumi, hinted at significant transformations for the Shield Hero in Season 4, “In this season, Naofumi is likely to depend more on his team and invest greater trust in them. As a group, they are still evolving, but in Season 4, we will encounter larger obstacles and formidable adversaries. Consequently, the faith that Naofumi has in his companions will grow even stronger compared to previous seasons.” Furthermore, The Rising of the Shield Hero is expected to disclose more about Raphtalia in the upcoming season.

According to Ishikawa, although the first meeting between the two characters was depicted in season one, it wasn’t until season three that the true origins of Raphtalia from Q’ten Lo were delved into. However, with season four on the horizon, we will get a deeper understanding of her background. This, Ishikawa believes, will significantly impact the trust between the characters and even influence his own perspective of Raphtalia since he has gained more insights about her.
