Chosen because of the combination of 3 and 15, which reads 3 (sa), 1 (i), 5 (ko) meaning “strongest” in Japanese, March 15 marked the second-ever “The Hardest Shield Day” for both BOFURI: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, so I’ll Max Out My Defense. and The Rising of the Shield Hero—two titles that are devoted to the underappreciated power of the humble shield.

 

Another special collaboration illustration was released by the official Twitter accounts for both anime series, depicting an angelic Maple facing off against a demonic Naofumi.
