The Legendary Hero Is Dead! is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Subaruichi. There is massive hype around the series currently, with an anime adaptation set to be released on April 6, 2023. The adaptation is being produced by Liden Films, with Crunchyroll licensing the show.
The Legendary Hero Is Dead! follows the story of Sion Bladen, who sealed away the Demon King and his army. After the Demon King's rise again, Sion decides to fight him once more but ends up getting killed by a farmer's trap instead.
This led to necromancer Anri Haysworth placing the farmer's soul in the body of Sion. She makes the farmer, Touka Scott, pose as the deceased hero to stand against the Demon King and his army with his childhood friend Yuna Eunice.

What to expect from The Legendary Hero Is Dead! anime
The Legendary Hero Is Dead! anime will tell the story of legendary hero Sion Bladedarts, who defeated the Demon Lord and his army, sealing off the Hell's Gate portal. The seal, however, was left incomplete, leading to the demons attacking once again.
This causes a perverted village farmer, Touka Scott, to dig pitfalls to protect his village against demon attacks. However, Sion ends up falling into one of these pitfalls, causing his death. This forces necromancer Anri Haynesworth to continue the hero's quest by placing Touka's soul into Sion's deceased and rotting body, forcing him to march up to Hell's Gate.
On their journey to defeat the Demon King, Touka's childhood friend Yuna Eunice will also tag along with them, making the three one of the most bizarre groups to have ever tried to save the world. The action fantasy anime will also add a healthy dose of comedy and satire to its story, giving the audience a unique experience.
