Best Isekai anime with overpowered main characters

Overwhelmed protagonists are a staple of isekai anime, and the best series shows why this concept is so common.

Fortunately, the new episode was good, and it gave the audience more insight into the world of Sentenced To Be A Hero, which is important, especially since the anime has just started.

Towards the end of the first episode, it was revealed that Xylo had been set up by the higher-ups for some unknown reason. But no one believed him, so he was sentenced to become a hero, which is the harshest punishment. After the reveal, it has become more interesting and the audience wants to know why Xylo was set up. Unfortunately, the new episode of the anime didn't shed too much light on this particular mystery. Instead, they focused on how the temple works and the people associated with it.

In the second episode, Xylo was sent to a village to help the Holy Knights deal with miners who had turned into fairies. Corruption spread, and it would not stop until it had swallowed everything in its path. However, Xylo's mission did not involve rescuing any of the villagers. Instead, he and his squad were tasked with setting up a camp for the Holy Knights.

When Xylo, Norgalle Senridge, and Tatsuya arrived at the village, they entered the mines to begin their business. Not long after entering, they encountered creatures that the Blight had transformed. After dealing with the fairies, a trapped miner reveals that there are more people in distress that need rescuing. Captain Kivia was not open to the idea, as she had been under strict orders to destroy the mine with explosives. Eventually, Xylo decides to go on a rescue mission but leaves Teoritta behind.

The episode will focus on Xylo as he helps trapped people

Sentenced To Be A Hero Episode 3 will be released on January 22, 2026. It is titled, “Meaning: Clearing the Zewan Gan Tunnels Part 2.” From the finale of the previous episode, it is quite clear that the third episode will focus on Xylo as he begins his mission to save the miners from certain death. Being trapped deep within the mines, Xylo is likely to run into a lot of fairies, which can be a problem. Although he is a hero, there is a limit to how many people he can fight. So it is quite likely that Xylo will be helped by Teoritta, Norgalle and Tatsuya.

There is also a fair chance that Kivia may start to change her mind and decide to provide backup to the heroes and goddess. If Kivia helps Xylo, it will make her character even more interesting, especially since she seems like a yes man to the higher ups. So far, she has shown nothing but hatred towards Xylo, believing him to be a sick and mean person who killed a goddess. If Kivia ends up helping the hero, it could lead to the beginning of a much more friendly relationship between Xylo and her.

Sentenced To Be A Hero will also highlight the cruel nature of chaplains and other army personnel. It has already been confirmed that most, if not all, people belonging to the two groups are malicious and lack empathy. They only care about carrying out orders and living good lives.
