The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2 Releases First Peek at Episode 9

By Nick Valdez

The Rising of the Shield Hero is now setting the stage for the grand finale of the second season, and has shared the first look at what to expect from Episode 9 of the new season! The second season might have gotten off to a rougher start, but things have dramatically improved with the start of the second arc as Naofumi Iwatani and his party are now needing to work back from level one in an entirely different world. As they make their way through this new territory, all sorts of interesting new challenges are sure to come their way next.

As Naofumi tries to get his bearings in the Vassal Heroes' world, fans are also getting to learn all about this new territory. It's gotten back to the way it was done in the first season, but we'll see whether or not that pace can continue as the second season quickly approaches its end in just a few more weeks. As for what to expect from that next episode, Kadokawa has shared the first preview images from The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2 Episode 9 on their official Twitter, and you can check them out below: 

The second season has been ramping up for a major conflict that will likely come in the third season of the series if the current pace is anything to go by. Unfortunately, there's no set date for the third season of the series just yet. 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?"
