About The Legendary Hero is Dead!

If you are hunting for a new action series, The Legendary Hero is Dead! (勇者が死んだ！) deserves a look (2023). The setup goes like this. The premise: In a world of monsters and magic, Sion, the local hero, is on his way to save the world from demons. Well, that was the plan until he fell into a pit dug by a sleazy villager, Touka, and died!

Further in, after hiding the accident, Touka goes to bed as usual but wakes up feeling…different. Somehow he’s in Sion’s body! Now, the fate of the realm is in his hands.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Shunichi Toki as Sion Breydan and Ayana Taketatsu as Anri Haysworth. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
