Once betrayed and branded a villain, Naofumi has clawed his way to respect with only a shield and a loyal party at his side. This season gives him no rest: with another catastrophic Wave looming and the other Cardinal Heroes nowhere to be found, he sets out to find them and prepare for a threat bigger than anything yet. It’s more of the underdog-vindication and party camaraderie the series is loved for, with the stakes cranked higher.
