A Decade-Long Stand Comes to Life
The anime is based on the popular light novel series penned by Gingitsune Ezo and illustrated by DeeCHA, which originally began as a web novel on the Shosetsuka ni Naro platform. The story follows Luck, a wizard who makes the ultimate sacrifice, holding off an endless horde of demons for ten years to allow his comrades to escape. Miraculously, he survives, only to return to a world where he is considered a mythical legend, facing the new challenge of adapting to a world that has moved on without him and finding a new purpose.

Helming the adaptation is director Hiroyuki Kanbe, known for his work on series such as Plunderer and Viper’s Creed. Studio Gekkou will be handling the animation production. Mitsutaka Hirota, recognized for his contributions to Edens Zero and Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time, is in charge of the series composition, ensuring a faithful and engaging narrative. Character designs are being managed by Majiro, whose previous works include Macross Delta and Salaryman’s Club.
