The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2 had been delayed until April 2022. Although the reason for its delay has not been officially revealed, still some outlets claimed that the issue with the production in Japan was caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

“How will Naofumi, Raphtalia and Filo take them on, now that they've matured? I also hope everyone looks forward to seeing the new characters that join Naofumi's party, Rishia and Kizuna,” cited Jinbo.
