The character to the left of Naofumi, Jaralis, will be portrayed by Jiro Satis. Jaralis exhibits only one human trait—the ability to walk upright—imparting an air of enigma around him that is likely to intrigue viewers.
In addition to these new characters, fans can expect the return of the beloved main voice cast from previous seasons:
- Naofumi Iwatani – voiced by Kaito Ishikawa
- Raphtalia – voiced by Asami Seto
- Filo – voiced by Rina Hidaka
- Motoyasu Kitamura – voiced by Makoto Takahashi
- Ren Amaki – voiced by Yoshitsugu Matsuoka
- Itsuki Kawasumi – voiced by Yoshitaka Yamaya
- Kizuna Kazayama – voiced by Miyu Tomita
It is anticipated the production team from the third season will also return, contributing to the continuity of storytelling.
Expectations for Season 4
The stakes are high for the fourth season, especially after the disappointing second season left many fans disheartened. The premiere season set a high bar that the second could not replicate, although the third season showed improvement, it still failed to capture the same impact.

Consequently, Season 4 could serve as a pivotal moment for the series. A continuation of subpar storytelling may jeopardize the show’s popularity and viewership.
Set your calendars for the return of The Rising of the Shield Hero this July 2025!
