A Tearful Dancer Heroine Receives a Confession of Love!? The Main Character’s Bold Deed Makes Viewers Grin in the Finale of the Anime "The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses"

The final episode of the anime "The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses" began airing sequentially from September 27. In a scene where Toto (voiced by Shunsuke Takeuchi) loudly declares “I love you!” to the dancer Gore (voiced by Haruka Shiraishi), viewers were thrilled by what they called a “bold confession” and remarked “How handsome!”

The three heroines who are members of Toto’s party are in fact secretly plotting to take his life. However, as they go on adventures together, they gradually develop feelings for Toto, and Gore even asked him, “Do you like me?” trying to confirm his feelings.

That said, the fact remains that Gore is scheming to control Toto. She trapped everyone in the world of dreams, but in episode 12, “The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses,” which is the final episode, Toto and his companions successfully escape from the dream.

Facing the awakened Toto, Gore stood in shock. Imagining that she might once again be hated by someone precious to her, she recalled how she was once rejected by friends because of her abilities and shed tears. However, Toto did not blame Gore and instead expressed his feelings, saying, “I love you! Now and always!” Gore blushed, and Toto, embarrassed as well, turned bright red and fainted.

Toto’s words, full of caring for his companions, stirred excitement online, with comments such as “bold confession,” “whoa,” and “so handsome!”
