High School DxD Hero, the king of harem anime (as the series likes to call itself), is back with its long-awaited fourth season and will start airing on 10 April 2018 at 23:00! The new visual is focusing more on the action of the series than on the harem aspect, and we really look forward to that part of the series as well. The visual can be seen here but is also used for the design of the newly-renewed website of the series, so you can take a look at it if you want!

The opening theme for this season is called ‘SWITCH’ by Minami and the ending theme is called ‘Motenai Kuse Ni’ by Tapimiru. ‘SWITCH’ will come out on CD on 25 April 2018 and ‘Motenai Kuse Ni’ comes out on 9 May 2018.

Also, enjoy the short introduction of the characters. It has been some time since the last season aired back in Spring 2015, and the new season is handled by a different animation studio, so take a look at the new illustrations of the characters.

Story

Issei is a stupid and slightly perverted student from the private Kuoh Academy. At one point in his school day, someone tried to kill him and succeeded, but he was revived by his beautiful school colleague Rias Gremory, who turned him into a devil. The price for being revived is to live as a subordinate for Rias! The optimistic Issei has no problem with the slightly erotic aspect of serving someone, but being surrounded by the beautiful Rias and her fellow beautiful devil ladies he somehow makes him start to dream about having subordinates that serve him himself and building his own harem, for which he now is working hard on as he fights enemies in hot-blooded battles and builds connections and friendships.

Rias is fighting the opposition of three people: Akeno, the temptation from early in the morning, Koneko, who rapidly draws nearer, and Asia, who becomes more and more aggressive. Issei, the one in the middle of all the struggle, has the life of his dreams – erotic and happy – unfold right in front of him. While they are enjoying their calm, daily life, the members of the occult research club are steadily preparing for the Rating Game of the Bael Family and the excursion of Issei and the others. The destination of the school trip is Kyoto, where the ranking system is different. Although Issei and the others tried to enjoy the sightseeing, as soon as they arrive they are involved in issues with the Chaos Brigade. Issei tries everything to find a way protect the Kyoto that Rias likes so much…
