The Hero Is Dead!

Aired: 2023

A fantasy comedy based on the manga of the same name by Subaruichi. The story kicks off when Touka, a perverted farmer living in a world of swords and sorcery, accidentally kills the hero Shion with a pitfall trap he dug himself. Now stuck filling in for the fallen hero to save the world, Touka sets off on a journey with his childhood friend Yuna to seal the Gates of Hell. Serious adventure is peppered with an obsession for thighs and plenty of risque gags, making this an offbeat fantasy where laughs and passion go hand in hand. On the music side, the opening theme 'Shinda!' by Oishi Masayoshi lives up to its title with its sheer impact, embodying the show's wild energy, while the ending theme 'Kawaikutte Ijiwaru Shichau' by Kubo Yurika highlights the heroine's charm.
