The TV anime team behind Scum of the Brave (勇者のクズ), based on the work by novelist Rocket Shokai and artist Nakashima723, has released the 4th promotional video alongside a new reveal of the 3rd key visual this past Wednesday. The latest video takes viewers into the climactic clash between Shinigami Yashiro and Lord Storm Coffin.
Story Summary
In a 21st-century world of paired contracts, powerful mafia members can transform their bodies into “demon lords” through surgical Ether enhancement — a widely popular practice — and bounty hunters known as “Braves” are called upon to deal with them. Yashiro is a man who wants nothing more than the small pleasures in life — pizza, beer, and video games. But when three new Braves approach him with a lucrative cash offer to become their personal tutor, he accepts simply for the money — though what follows may be more than he bargained for.
