There’s no denying that anime adaptations of light book series have received a lot of positive feedback from fans.
The anime version of “The Rising of the Shield Hero,” for example, boosted sales of the original light novel series greatly. And “DanMachi,” written by author Fujinomori, was no exception, as the series’ second anime season in 2019 helped increase light book sales, thanks to Crunchyroll.
In fact, when compared to other light novel series that have profited from an anime adaptation, “DanMachi,” also known as “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon,” edged out “Sword Art Online” for first place.
This might be due to the capacity of the anime and light book series to combine fantasy adventure with harem humour.
The series follows the adventures of Bell Cranel, a 14-year-old solo adventurer who is given certain abilities after meeting the goddess Hestia and sets out to explore the city of Orario and its link to the deadly region known simply as the Dungeon. He aspires to be one of the top explorers in the world.
So far, three seasons of Bell’s exploits have been adapted. After the third season of the show ended in 2020, viewers were treated to a special OVA episode in late April.
There is, however, another season of “DanMachi” on the way for those who are left wanting more. Everything we know about Season 4 is shown below.

When’s the release date for DanMachi Season 4?
Season 4 of “DanMachi” was confirmed early this year through Crunchyroll, with a release date of 2022. Unfortunately, it is the only official release date information that has been provided so far, since no particular date has been given.
However, Warner Bros. Japan Anime released a teaser trailer for the new season, which includes English subtitles.
While the wait may have been longer than fans had wanted, it isn’t out of the usual for the series. Between the first two seasons of “DanMachi,” there were a few years of waiting. Season 1 of the show premiered in 2015, with Season 2 following in 2019.
Season 3 of the series was planned to debut in July 2020 during the summer anime season but was pushed back to October due to the COVID-19 epidemic, according to Anime News Network.
It would make sense if the pandemic had a role in the current Season 4 release schedule, and the recent OVA may have been a ploy to keep fans entertained until then.
Who’s in the cast for DanMachi Season 4?
The official cast for Season 4 of “DanMachi” has yet to be disclosed. Season 3 did, however, contain a returning voice cast from prior seasons, according to Anime News Network.
As a result, we can definitely anticipate a large portion of the cast to return next season. The new character Weiss, who made her debut in the Season 2 finale and was significantly featured in Season 3, was the lone newcomer for Season 3.
Rina Hidaka provided her voice. Inori Minase as Hestia, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Bell Carnell, Saori nishi as Ais Wallenstein, Haruka Tomatsu as Eina Tulle, Yko Hikasa as Freya, and Sma Sait as Hermes are expected to reprise their roles from past seasons.
J.C. Staff is the animation company that has worked on all of the previous seasons as well as the OVAs. They were also responsible for the animation for the film “Arrow of the Orion.” As a result, it’s probable that they’ll return for Season 4.
Hideki Tachibana directed the third season, according to Anime News Network, and had been a director since the second season, when he succeeded Yoshiki Yamakawa. Unless anything else is disclosed, it’s probable that he’ll return to direct the following season.

What’s the plot of DanMachi Season 4?
Season 4 of “DanMachi” has yet to get an official storyline outline. The teaser trailer does, however, provide some hints as to the anime’s major emphasis for the forthcoming chapter.
The teaser really goes back and shows off some of Bell’s previous exploits throughout the series, while also mirroring a lot of what Bell discovers out he wants for himself by the third season’s finale.
The adventurer aspires to grow even stronger after losing a fight against the great Asterius in the Season 3 finale and reconnecting with Ais for additional training. In Season 4, we’ll undoubtedly see him on his quest to improve himself.
Volumes 9 through 11 of the light novel series were adapted for Season 3 of DanMachi. Volume 12 of the book, which sets up the start of a new journey for Bell, is expected to be adapted for Season 4.
Bell gets a letter for a new mission in Volume 12 after rising through the ranks and earning Orario’s esteem. Because of Season 4, we’ll very certainly see this Bell voyage animated.
