Based on the light novel series of the same name, Arifureta follows the journey of high schooler Hajime Nagumo. After being transported to the fantasy world with the rest of the class, Hajime embarked on a journey to become stronger and more powerful. Since he lacked powerful magical abilities like his classmates, he faced a grave situation in the depths of the dungeon. Despite that, Hajime survived the odds and grew stronger after forming his own cult.
Arifureta: From Commonplace To World’s Strongest Season 3 Is Back
Arifureta debuted in 2019 and created an uproar in the anime industry. The series’ premise was top-notch, and many clamored for more. However, it took two years for the anime to return with its sophomore run and some major changes. When the series returned, it again took two years to announce its fate. The second season wrapped up airing in April 2022, leaving the fate of the series up in the air.
While many believed that the show might have been shelved due to mixed ratings, Arifureta: From Commonplace To World’s Strongest surprised everyone. On September 10, 2022, the anime committee announced that Arifureta: From Commonplace To World’s Strongest Season 3 was happening. In fact, the series underwent production the same year. However, this time again, it returned with some major changes. While it’s been two years, you can breathe a sigh of relief because the series is back to rock your world this year. It also revealed the key visual.
First Look Is Out!
The series dropped its brand new trailer for the third season during the series panel at Anime Expo. The trailer is undoubtedly epic, suggesting that Arifureta: From Commonplace To World’s Strongest Season 3 will be bolder and more insane than its first two seasons. Interesting, right? The preview trailer begins with the RabbitMan tribe. They seem to have an important discussion about something, perhaps how to invade a new territory.
However, before their plan can be revealed, the trailer shifts its narration to Hajime. He seems excited about something. While it remains unclear, the scene again shifts to a blonde girl harassed by a man. The girl is later introduced as the princess of the Heilig Kingdom, who faces a dark fate. After being harassed by another man, she seems to accept it as her destiny. However, the situation changes when she seeks help from Hajime.
The trailer then showcases that some RabbitMan tribe women kill their own tribe’s man in order to protect someone. Meanwhile, Shea appears to attack a group of men. While the fighting scene creates havoc, just then, Hajime enters the picture to save the princess. He later attacks the person who has been harassing the princess. The trailer then ends with revealing the release window of Arifureta: From Commonplace To World’s Strongest Season 3 and opening theme songs.
Will Studio Mother Return?
White Fox animated the first season, which Studio Mother later replaced for the second season. While the second season’s animation received a positive response from the audience and critics, the studio house won’t return to animate the series. That’s right! Studio Mother is no longer working for Arifureta: From Commonplace To World’s Strongest Season 3. As per the official announcement, Studio Asread will animate the third season. The studio house is also behind the production of the first two seasons.
It worked with White Fox and Studio Mother to bring Arifureta: From Commonplace To World’s Strongest to life. However, Asread will be the sole studio house working on the series now. The studio was founded in November 2003 by former Xebec members. So far, it has created several hit animes, including Shuffle!, Lord of Vermilion: The Crimson King, Future Diary, and Mother of the Goddess’ Dormitory. Since the studio house consists of only 23 members, it works on one anime every two years. Thus, its future projects remain unclear. However, we expect that Asread’s official website will soon reveal its details.
Arifureta: From Commonplace To World’s Strongest Season 3: What To Expect Next?
In the second season finale, Hajime and the group were mysteriously transported to a ruined city. There, they met with new challenges and foes. While they handled everything gracefully, the second season ended on a cliffhanger. So, we can expect that Arifureta: From Commonplace To World’s Strongest Season 3 will pick up the pace from there. As of now, it remains unclear how things will unfold in Arifureta Season 3. But considering the teaser trailer, we can expect that Hajime and his crew will arrive in Shea’s hometown.

While the team will be excited to meet new people, they will face new challenges. The RabbitMan tribe isn’t ready to accept them and plans to challenge them in a fight. However, things won’t be in their favor. Meanwhile, Hajime will face a new task. This time, he has to prove his skills to save someone’s life. This someone will be a princess. As the series enters its third season, it will delve into the arcs “The Princess’ Ordeal” and “The Empire Vs the Strongest Rabbits.” Hajime will also learn about Shea’s town, the Heilig Kingdom, and the mystery surrounding its hierarchy.
Is There Enough Source Material?
As mentioned above, the anime is loosely based on the light novel series by Ryo Shirakome and illustrated by Takayaki. The series was published in print from June 2015 to September 2022. Since it has been concluded there could be a scarcity of source material. But it isn’t the case with Arifureta Shokugyo de Sekai Saikyo. The light novel series has 13 volumes, and the first two seasons have only covered until Vol 6. So, there’s ample source material left to delve into.
However, nothing is known about Arifureta: From Commonplace To World’s Strongest Season 3. But we can expect that the third season will pick up the pace from Vol 7 and might cover three to four volumes. The series hasn’t been true to its source material. So far, it has loosely covered each volume. So we expect the same with the third season.
