What is The Legendary Hero is Dead all about?
Three years after the hero Sion sealed the Gates of Hell the demons have somehow returned. Touka harbours a crush on childhood friend Yuna and protects his home from demons by digging spike-filled traps.
A demon attacks Yuna but it is slain by Sion who abruptly blunders right into Touka’s trap and dies, leaving the world without a hero. To protect themselves from blame, the villagers secretly bury Sion. The next morning Touka awakens in Sion’s body and necromancer Anri Hayworth reveals she swapped Touka’s soul into Sion’s corpse so Touka can save the world, holding his original body hostage to ensure obedience.
On the journey, Touka is challenged by one of Sion’s acquaintances and accused of impersonating the real Sion due to his inability to use Sion’s holy sword. Anri explains the situation to Sion’s old teammate Kyle, who rescues Touka from the mob. Yuna wagers Touka can prove himself by completing a quest to slay demons. Anri confirms Touka lacks the spiritual power to use the sword or even stop Sion’s body from continuing to rot. Kyle challenges Touka for the right to replace Touka’s soul with his own and take over the role of hero.
