With AnimeJapan 2024 taking place this weekend, there is a heckuva lot of news out about upcoming anime every anime fan will be dying to hear.
Included in that is news about fantasy action isekai anime Arifureta: From Commonplace to World’s Strongest, Season 3, which got both a powerful new key visual and a teaser trailer earlier today.
The first Arifureta: From Commonplace to World’s Strongest, Season 3 key visual centers on Shea the battle maniac, with both Hajime and Yue in the background behind her.
A key visual that makes her look incredibly determined as she looks behind her, before turning around to face whatever lies in the castle in front of her.
Ahead of Shea we can see an enormous and incredibly ominous red and purple moon, with a dark and foreboding castle illuminated within its threatening rays.
With that kind of front-and-center focus on Shea, who has always been a popular character, does that mean we will be getting even more scenes featuring the “shameless rabbit”?
Let’s hope so, right?
Meanwhile, in the Arifureta, Season 3 teaser trailer, Shea is again front and center as the powerful music leads us to believe the next season will be hella exciting, and Shea will be out kicking some major ass.
