The latest updates for the TV anime Scum of the Brave have finally arrived, and fans are quite excited. Based on the original work by Rocket Shokai and Nakashima 723, this series has been picking up a lot of steam lately. Recently, it was officially announced that some additional cast members are joining the team. Most notably, the very talented Saori Hayami has been confirmed to play the role of Lord Storm Coffin. This is a very big addition to the show, as Hayami is well-known for her brilliant voice acting in many hit series.
Story Background: The Underworld and Demon Lords
If you are new to the series, "The Brave's Scum" or Scum of the Brave is a gritty supernatural action story set in a dark underworld. The plot mainly revolves around a "hero" who takes on the task of defeating powerful mafia bosses. In this unique world, these crime lords have actually become "demon lords," making them extremely dangerous. The whole story starts when our freelance hero, Yashiro, gets approached by a high school girl named Jogamine. She claims to be a hero's apprentice and basically forces herself into his life as his "apprentice."
The character Lord Coffin of Storms, who Hayami will be voicing, is definitely not someone to take lightly. She is considered one of the country's most powerful demon lords. Rumours in the underworld say that she used to be a high-ranking executive in the Kansai Yakuza before. What makes her even more interesting is the strong attachment she seems to show towards Yashiro. Many fans are wondering why Scum of the Brave is a must read, and characters like these are a big reason for it.
Upcoming Episode 10: Guidance of the Hero
We are now moving towards the 10th episode, titled "Guidance of the Hero." This episode is scheduled to be broadcast sequentially from March 14th. In this part of the story, Yashiro and his group will have to face off against the mysterious "black clothes" subordinates of Lord Storm Coffin. Characters like Indo and Sera each try their best to handle the situation and subdue these enemies. However, things get a bit complicated because Jogamine is there, and she really does not want to kill anyone. This makes the struggle much harder for the team. During all this chaos, Lord Storm Coffin herself makes an appearance before them.
