The Rising of the Shield Hero is one of the many anime franchises returning for new episodes next month as part of the upcoming Fall 2023 anime schedule, and now fans know when to tune into The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 3 as an official release date has been announced! The Rising of the Shield Hero’s debut anime season was such a success several years ago that it was quickly announced that the anime would be returning for both Season 2 and Season 3 in the future. With the second season already making its debut, it’s finally time for Season 3 to make its way to screens. 

The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 3 previously announced that it would be releasing this October as part of the new wave of anime coming our way for the Fall 2023 anime schedule, and a new update from the team behind the anime has finally revealed that The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 3 will be premiering on October 6th in Japan. The new season will likely stream with Crunchyroll when the new episodes hit this Fall much like the first two seasons had, so thankfully it won’t be too much longer!

You can currently catch up with the first two seasons of The Rising of the Shield Hero anime now streaming with Crunchyroll, and they tease the events of Season 2 as such, “Learning that other nations are enduring the Calamity Waves, Naofumi vows to fight. But before he can begin, word comes that the massive Spirit Tortoise is free. Left unchecked, this rampaging monster could destroy the world. He assembles companions Raphtalia and Filo and a few new allies, one of which reveals scary news—this was no accident. Someone deliberately unleashed the legendary beast!”
