The wildly popular crossover anime Isekai Quartet is set to return for a third season, promising fans another round of comedic chaos with its signature chibi-style antics. The announcement via the official Isekai Quartet website, confirms that the series will continue blending beloved isekai characters in a whimsical school setting, with a new series joining the already iconic lineup.
Isekai Quartet brings together characters from some of the most celebrated isekai anime, reimagined in adorable, super-deformed (chibi) designs. The series launched in 2019, uniting the casts of Overlord, Konosuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World!, Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World, and The Saga of Tanya the Evil. Its second season in 2020 expanded the roster with characters from The Rising of the Shield Hero and Cautious Hero: The Hero is Overpowered But Overly Cautious. Now, The Eminence in Shadow joins the fray, adding its unique blend of dark humor and theatrical flair to the crossover’s eclectic mix.
Based on Daisuke Aizawa’s light novel series, The Eminence in Shadow follows Cid Kagenou, a reincarnated mastermind who crafts an elaborate fantasy of leading a secret organization, Shadow Garden, to combat a fictional cult—only to stumble into real conspiracies. Since its anime debut in 2022, the series has captivated audiences with its sharp blend of dark humor, intense action, and Cid’s flair for dramatic theatrics. Its inclusion in Isekai Quartet Season 3 is a natural fit, as Cid’s penchant for over-the-top schemes complements the crossover’s playful tone.
The announcement highlights that Season 3 will feature over 70 characters, with returning voice actors including Yusuke Kobayashi as Subaru (Re:Zero), Satoshi Hino as Ains Ooal Gown (Overlord), Jun Fukushima as Kazuma (Konosuba), and Aoi Yuki as Tanya (The Saga of Tanya the Evil). From The Eminence in Shadow, Seiichiro Yamashita voices Cid Kagenou (aka Shadow), with Asami Seto lending her talents to both Alpha and Delta of Shadow Garden. The official website teases a “third act” of this unprecedented school life adventure, suggesting new comedic scenarios and interactions.
