Sentenced to Be a Hero: The Prison Records of Penal Hero Unit 9004 New Cast Members Announced

The official website of the anime adaptation of Rocket Shoukai’s Sentenced to Be a Hero: The Prison Records of Penal Hero Unit 9004 light novel series has announced three new cast members and shared their messages and characters’ visuals.

• Ishigami Shizuka as Kivia Patausche
• Horie Shun as Luzulas Dotta
• Toki Shunichi as Leopool Venetim

• Ishigami Shizuka:
  • “What is ‘Hero Punishment’?
    When you hear ‘hero,’
    you might imagine someone who fights the Demon King for the sake of the people and peace, but in this work, the meaning might be a little different.
    From the moment I started reading the original work,
    I was immediately drawn into its world and became a fan in no time.
    I am very happy to be able to participate in this work with such a high level of passion,
    which can be seen even in the teaser PV.
    As the leader of the Holy Knights,
    how will Patausche become involved with those of ‘Hero Punishment’?
    Please look forward to the anime broadcast!”

• Horie Shun:
  • “I have been sentenced to ‘Hero Punishment.’
    However, Dotta-kun shows no signs of remorse and has been causing a lot of trouble for the heroes since the first episode.
    Playing this troublemaker takes quite a bit of stamina,
    but more than anything,
    I’m happy to be able to create this work together with the wonderful cast members.
    The visuals are also stunning, which surprised me.
    I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.
    Please look forward to the broadcast!”

• Toki Shunichi:
  • “My name is Toki Shunichi, and I will be the voice of Leopool Venetim. The worldbuilding is extremely rich, yet each character’s individuality is expressed very delicately and realistically, which moved me deeply. I feel that the production team is putting great importance on preserving that atmosphere while creating the animation. I will do my best to ensure I do not disrupt that. Thank you for your support.”

About Sentenced to Be a Hero: The Prison Records of Penal Hero Unit 9004:
“Hero” is the worst punishment in the world.
Those convicted of heinous crimes are sentenced to become a “Hero” and forced to enter mandatory military service in the war against the Demon Lords. These convicts are not even allowed to die. If killed, they will be resurrected to fight another day. Hero Xylo Forbartz, former head of the Order of the Holy Knights, leads a penal unit of deplorables fighting on the front lines. In these direst circumstances, he meets the goddess Teoritta, one of the world’s strongest weapons. “When every last enemy has been defeated, you will shower me with praise and pat my head.” To survive and to take revenge on those who wronged him, he makes a pact with the goddess and launches headfirst into a maelstrom of war and intrigue.
