The curtain is about to rise on these compulsory Heroes' fierce battle against despair...
<Story>
"Hero" is the worst punishment in the world.
For those convicted of heinous crimes, they are sentenced to become a “Hero" and forced to enter the mandatory military service in the war against the Demon Lords.
These convicts are not even allowed to die—if killed, they will be resurrected to fight another day.
Hero Xylo Forbartz, former head of the Order of the Holy Knights, leads a penal unit of deplorables fighting on the front lines. It's in these direst of circumstances that he meets Teoritta, one of the world's the strongest weapons.
"When every last enemy has been defeated, you are to shower me with praise and pat my head."

About “Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-” Season 4
＜INTRODUCTION＞
In the deadly battle at the Watergate City of Priestella, Subaru and his allies barely emerged victorious—but their triumph came at a great cost.
Through the “Authority of Gluttony,” Rem remains in an unending sleep, while Crusch's memories and even Julius's name were devoured.
As he searches for a way to save them, Subaru learns of the “wise man” Shaula—an all-seeing being said to possess every form of knowledge.
His next destination is the Pleiades Watchtower, home to a wise man, the farthest tower standing in the vast, uncharted desert known as the Auguria Dunes—a place so perilous that even the mightiest “Sword Saint,” Reinhard, failed to conquer it.
The fury of nature, unknown mabeasts, and unimaginable dangers lie ahead.
Together with his friends, Subaru embarks on a life-risking journey to reclaim what was lost.
