The Protagonist Suddenly Exits...!? Viewers Shocked by the Bloody Ending of Anime "The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses" Episode 10

Episode 10 of the anime "The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses" began airing on September 13th. The episode concludes with the protagonist, Hero Toto (voiced by Shunsuke Takeuchi), being found stabbed and covered in blood, leaving viewers stunned with reactions like "What just happened suddenly!?" and "Unbelievable!"

The three heroines who embark on adventures with Toto are actually plotting to take his life, yet their relationships with him have been gradually changing. However, in episode 10, titled "The Shy Hero and The Demons," the ever-smiling dancer Gore (voiced by Haruka Shiraishi) seemed off.

Gore starts off with a serious face, asking, "Hey, who’s in charge of the next assassination?" When Anemone (voiced by Hitomi Ueda) points out, "At this point, does it even matter? Aren’t you just planning to outsmart us like you did during the last promotion mission?" Gore suddenly smiles and says, "Got it! Then, let's decide based on tomorrow's mission!"

The next morning, when Anemone wakes up, she finds Toto sitting quietly on the floor. When she places a hand on his shoulder, suggesting he should have rested on the sofa, Toto collapses onto the floor. A blade is embedded in his chest, blood pooling around him, leading Anemone to exclaim in a trembling voice, "He's dead...!"

This shocking conclusion caused a stir online with comments like "Unbelievable," "What's going on," and "What just happened suddenly!?" Some suspect, "Gore seemed troubled, but did she really assassinate Toto?" The truth is expected to be revealed in the next episode.
