■ Original: Anko Yusagi
Shield Hero 5th term production decision! “The 5th term… I can only say thank you for making this far.”
It’s true… I thought it would be good if I could become an anime up to about the 4th volume of a book, but I feel like I’m still dreaming that it will become this big before I knew it.
Again, this is all thanks to all of you who are involved in the Shield Hero.
The 5th season is a big challenge for Naofumi and the others, and it can be said that it is a place that can be said to be a question of whether you want to protect the world really, so I hope you all can see it.

■ Character draft, Seira Yanan
Congratulations on your 5th season! “Thank you very much!” The 12th episode, which came to mind when I thought it was a relief, had a break in the journey around its roots.
Whether you know what the story ahead is or not, I’d be happy if you could wait while feeling the excitement, excitement, and nervousness together with Yanan.

■Director, Mikazu, etc.
Did you enjoy the 4th season of Shield Brave?
What awaits Naofumi and the others who have been preparing for the revival of the phoenix since the 3rd term?
Please look forward to it.

I was surprised by the graphic that looks like an anime made into a game.
It’s spelled out in a game… I hope you enjoy the battle and story of the hero of your own shield that you create through the game.

■ Character draft: Seira Yanan
It’s a new work that you’ve been waiting for in Yanan!
I’m hoping that it can be done with the expressions and play styles that are unique to the game.
We will be thoroughly supervising, so please look forward to it!
