I Became a Legend After My 10 Year-Long Last Stand（ここは俺に任せて先に行けと言ってから10年がたったら伝説になっていた。）is gearing up for its 2026 TV anime with a fresh teaser visual that gathers the main heroines, plus two newly announced cast members. Yui Ishikawa and Mayu Sagara join the party as Celeris and Shia, and fans can even enter an X giveaway for signed shikishi boards. ⚔️
New Kokoore teaser visual unites the main heroines
The second teaser visual for the I Became a Legend After My 10 Year-Long Last Stand anime brings the heroines together in one dramatic image. Designed to connect with the first teaser, the new art forms a larger composition when placed side by side, giving fans a better feel for the party that will surround the overpowered yet low-profile hero, Luck—now living as rookie adventurer Rock.
Celeris and Shia join I Became a Legend anime
The update also reveals two key heroines. Celeris Morton（セルリス・モートン）is the only daughter of warrior Golan. Officially she is registered as an F-rank adventurer, but her real combat ability is closer to B-rank thanks to the skill she inherited from her father. She is also adorably airheaded, to the point that she once mistook Rock for Golan’s secret child before learning his true identity and declaring herself his “number one disciple.”
Shia Wolcott（シア・ウルコット）is a B-rank warrior and professional vampire hunter from a tribe of wolf beast-folk. Her people are naturally resistant to vampire charm, and the clan has turned that trait into a family business. Shia meets Rock on a goblin-slaying quest, and fighting side by side leads her to discover just how legendary he really is.
Voice cast details for Celeris, Shia, and the party
Celeris is voiced by Yui Ishikawa, while Mayu Sagara brings Shia to life. They join the previously announced main cast: Gakuto Kajiwara as Luck / Rock, Toshiyuki Morikawa as hero-turned-king Erik, and Tsuyoshi Koyama as veteran warrior Golan. Behind the scenes, studio Gekkou produces the series with Hiroyuki Kanbe directing, Mitsutaka Hirota handling series composition, and Majiro on character designs. The anime adapts Ezogingitune and DeeCHA’s high fantasy light novel series, which has sold over four million copies.
Inside I Became a Legend After My 10 Year-Long Last Stand
The story follows S-rank mage Luck, who stays behind in an interdimensional rift to hold the line against the Demon Lord so that his comrades can escape. He fights alone for a full decade, wins, and finally returns—only to find that the world believes he died saving everyone and has turned him into a legendary hero. Because the battle left him looking younger, Luck hides his identity and starts over as F-rank adventurer Rock, reuniting with old allies and meeting new friends like Celeris and Shia along the way.
