The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2 Previews Episode 8 With First Look

By Nick Valdez

The Rising of the Shield Hero has kicked off the final arc for the second season run of the series, and has shared the first look at the next episode of the series with some special preview images! The second season of the series got off to a rough start with fans, but with that first arc now out of the way, Naofumi and his party find themselves in a completely new world. The first episode of this arc introduced them to this new world and a brand new hero from this world, and now Naofumi needs to figure out how to proceed from this point on.  

It was revealed that Naofumi and the others made their way to L'Arc and the other invading heroes' world, but the previous episode of the series kept them locked within a mysterious labyrinth. It's here that they met a new ally with the Hunting Hero, Kizuna Kazayama, and after escaping from the labyrinth, Naofumi and his party need to find some clues to figure out where the Book Hero has gone. You can check out the first look at Episode 8 below as shared by Kadokawa's official Twitter account: 

This final arc of the season will only be kicking into full from this point on, and it's likely we'll get a pretty big battle involving all of the other world's heroes before it all comes to a close. If you wanted to jump into the series before the second season comes to an end you can find The Rising of the Shield Hero now streaming with Crunchyroll. They tease the series as such:

"Iwatani Naofumi, a run-of-the-mill otaku, finds a book in the library that summons him to another world. He is tasked with joining the sword, spear, and bow as one of the Four Cardinal Heroes and fighting the Waves of Catastrophe as the Shield Hero. Excited by the prospect of a grand adventure, Naofumi sets off with his party. However, merely a few days later, he is betrayed and loses all his money, dignity, and respect. Unable to trust anyone anymore, he employs a slave named Raphtalia and takes on the Waves and the world. But will he really find a way to overturn this desperate situation?"
