The Rising of the Shield Hero is one of the major returning franchises coming back with new episodes as part of the Fall 2023 anime schedule, and The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 3 has released its final trailer ahead of its premiere! The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 3 is finally coming to screens after first being announced shortly after the end of its first season. The anime adaptation's debut was such a success that it was initially ordered for both a second and third season, and now the third season will be premiering as Naofumi takes on a huge new wave of battles. 

The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 3 picks up with Naofumi and his party exploring more of the parallel worlds and dangers they were introduced to during the second season, and that means there are tons of new characters, foes, and powers that fans will see in action over the course of the new season coming this Fall.

But before he can begin, word comes that the massive Spirit Tortoise is free. Left unchecked, this rampaging monster could destroy the world.
