The creators of the TV anime adaptation of Rocket Shokai and Nakashima723's manga "Scum of the Brave" (Japanese: Yūsha no Kuzu) have announced another addition to the voice cast. Accordingly, the popular voice actress Saori Hayami will take on the role of the Demon Lord with the nickname "Lord Storm Coffin" (Japanese: Arashi no Hitsugi Kyō).
The series, which premiered in January 2026 on NTV and is produced by Studio OLM, is set in the criminal underworld of Tokyo. In this dark alternate world, so-called "heroes" battle mafia-like "Demon Lords" who possess supernatural powers through ether-enhancing operations.
Her new role is described as one of the most significant Demon Lords in the country. Rumors suggest she was once a high-ranking leader of the Japanese Yakuza in the Kansai region. Characteristic of the role played by Hayami is her strong obsession with the protagonist Yashiro.
As the broadcaster further announced, Lord Storm Coffin will first appear in the tenth episode titled "Guide to Being a Hero," which airs on March 14, 2026. In this episode, a confrontation initially occurs between Yashiro and his students and the black-clad henchmen of the Demon Lord. While Yashiro's companions Indō and Saera try to overpower the minions, the aspiring heroine Jōgamine finds herself in distress because she does not want to kill her opponents. At that moment, Lord Storm Coffin steps before the group.
