Excited about the anime adaptation of your favorite light novel, The Slow Second Life of the Retired Dark Soldier in His 30s Episode 1? We got you. One of the popular action-adventure comedy light novels from Japanese author Okazawa Rokuyuuyon is finally getting the anime adaptation.
For those who are unfamiliar with the plot, it follows a thirty-year-old young man named Dariel, who serves as a Dark Soldier to the Crown. But not too long into the story, he gets fired, and from now, not only will he be unable to work as an advisor of the Four Heavenly Kings anymore, but he also got fired from the whole Demon Lord’s Army. According to one lord, the reason behind his firing is that he is slow and he is an inferior creature.
Four of the Demon Lords include; Bazelia, “Impure Water” of the Four Heavenly Kings; Zebiantes, “Floral Wind” of the Four Heavenly Kings; Droyes, “Fertile Earth” of the Four Heavenly Kings; and Bashbarza, “Brilliant Fire” of The Four Heavenly Kings.

The very fact that a dark soldier like him, who is the lowest of the lowest in the Demon Lord’s Army, was able to work as the advisor of the Lords is absurd for them, and most of all, he is still unable to use magic, and he cannot be even able to produce a small fire, are among the reason behind this. A Demon who cannot use magic is no better than trash.
Even though the previous lords entrusted Dariel with the mission, the new lords think that the old era has come to an end, and the absence of demons like him will help the Demon Lord’s Army to return to its perfect natural stage and the Demon Lord’s Army of this era, does not need a demon who can’t use magic.
The Demon race has been at war with humans since a long time ago. There are no distinctive physical traits that can set these two races apart. The only way to tell the difference between the two races is to observe whether someone can use magic or not.
As our protagonist, Dariel is unable to use magic, he thinks that he is useless, and to overcome this, he wants to meet Granbarza. Granbarza is one of the previous Four Heavenly Kings. He was the one who gave our protagonist the opportunity to work as an advisor and treated him very well both in private as well as in front of others. And now he thinks that if he meets him somehow, he might be able to help Dariel get a new job somewhere.
