This post contains spoilers for Sentenced To Be A Hero.

After a week off, the anime Sentenced To Be A Hero returned with a strong first episode that quickly became a popular topic of conversation. Viewers were eager to see if the next installment could live up to the high standard set by its return.

The latest episode was a strong start for the anime, Sentenced To Be A Hero, offering viewers a deeper look into its world. This is great news, especially since the series is brand new.

Xylo And His Team Were Sent On Another Dangerous Mission

Near the end of the first episode, we learned that Xylo was deliberately framed by those in charge, though the reason remains unclear. Nobody believed his explanation, and he received the severe punishment of being forced to work as a hero. This twist has made the story more captivating, leaving viewers eager to discover why Xylo was targeted. Sadly, the latest episode didn’t offer many answers about this central mystery. Instead, it focused on explaining how the Temple operates and the people who work there.

The second episode finds Xylo sent to a village where miners have mysteriously transformed into faeries. A strange corruption is spreading rapidly, threatening to consume everything. However, Xylo isn’t there to help the villagers themselves. His mission, along with his team, is to establish a base camp for the Holy Knights.

The Heroes Defeated The Faeries

When Xylo, Norgalle Senridge, and Tatsuya reached the village, they immediately entered the mines to start their work. They soon encountered creatures mutated by the Blight. After dealing with these creatures, a rescued miner told them others were still trapped and needed help. Captain Kivia refused to allow a rescue, as she had orders to demolish the mine with explosives. Despite this, Xylo decided to attempt a rescue, leaving Teoritta behind to ensure the mission’s success.

Sentenced To Be A Hero Episode 3 Release Date

Sentenced To Be A Hero Will Release On January 22

  • Sentenced To Be A Hero returns on January 22
  • The episode will focus on Xylo as he helps trapped people

The next episode of Sentenced To Be A Hero, Episode 3, comes out on January 22nd, 2026. It’s called “Sentence: Clear the Zewan Gan Tunnels Part 2,” and continues the story from the last episode. The episode will likely center on Xylo as he tries to rescue the trapped miners. Because the mines are so deep, he’s expected to run into dangerous faeries, and may need help. It seems likely that Teoritta, Norgalle, and Tatsuya will assist him, as even a hero has limits to how many enemies they can handle.

It’s possible Kivia will change her mind and start helping the heroes and the goddess. If she does support Xylo, it would add depth to her character, considering she’s usually portrayed as someone who simply follows orders. Currently, she strongly dislikes Xylo, believing him to be responsible for a goddess’s death. However, if Kivia begins to assist him, it could pave the way for a more friendly relationship between them.

Sentenced To Be A Hero will show how cruel the priests and soldiers are. It’s been established that nearly everyone in these groups is evil and lacks compassion, focused only on following orders and enjoying comfortable lives.

Where To Watch Sentenced To Be A Hero Episode 3?

I’ve learned that Episode 3 of “Sentenced To Be A Hero” will be available on Crunchyroll very soon after it airs in Japan. It’ll have English subtitles and the original Japanese audio. Good news for those who prefer dubbed anime – the English dub should be ready to go right when the episode premieres, so you won’t have to wait weeks for it!
