Starting the path of an adventurer at a young age is common sense. It takes years of training to gain magical powers. However, Rick is beginning after he turns 30. Despite this setback, he has already lived an incredible life with top-ranking fighting abilities thanks to his work with Orichalcum Fist. He is also part of a legendary party of the most powerful adventurers in the land. With skills honed by literal “Monster-class” masters ranging from dragons to vampires, Rick takes on one elite adventurer after another.

Tea (Villainess Level 99) illustrated the first novel volume published by HJ Novels in December 2018. The eleventh volume was released on December 19, 2021. Ken Ogino (Lady Justice) has been serializing a manga adaptation on Comic Fire since November 2019. Most recently, Hobby Japan published the seventh volume on Saturday.
The announcement of the anime adaptation has excited fans of the series. The anime adaptation will bring Rick Gladiator’s adventures to life on the small screen. Fans are also eager to see how the anime will portray Rick’s battles against other adventurers. The series focus on a middle-aged protagonist is also unique and refreshing for fans looking for something different from the usual shonen anime. With the anime adaptation in the works, fans can look forward to seeing Rick Gladiator’s journey as he strives to become the strongest adventurer in the land.
As of now, there is no release timeline for Shinmai Ossan Bōkensha anime.
