The new key visual for Re:ZERO season 4 features the new character Shaula sitting on the railing of a balcony in a desert area. While the visual is primarily focused on her, what appears to be Subaru Natsuki and co’s traveling convoy can be seen in the background. This would also fall in line with the previously released announcement trailer for season 4’s production, which saw Subaru and Emilia walk into a bar in the middle of a desert.

Shaula will be voiced by Fairouz Ai, whose most notable roles are likely Chainsaw Man’s Power and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean’s Jolyne Kujo. Her other notable roles include a younger version of Tokyo Revengers’ Manjiro “Mikey” Sano, The Eminence in Shadow’s Delta, and Kaiju No. 8’s Kikoru Shinomiya. The final episode of the third season also introduced Konomi Kohara as Rui, who is likely best known as Kaguya-sama’s Chika Fujiwara.
