Dark forces stir as a monstrous Spirit Tortoise awakens, threatening the land. Naofumi Iwatani, the cursed Shield Hero, must join forces to stop it. If you love epic fantasy battles, this is unmissable
The second season of Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari. With another Wave happening in a week, Naofumi Iwatani and his party have no time to waste. However, when bat familiars raid Lurolona Village and the Wave countdown comes to a halt, the Four Cardinal Heroes reconvene with the queen, Mirelia Q Melromarc, for a quick briefing. The queen presumes that the odd occurrences are linked to the Spirit Tortoise—a threatening creature that has awakened from its slumber, back to cause havoc once again. A plan to put the Spirit Tortoise to rest is devised—but out of the four men, only the cursed Shield Hero agrees to help.
