Never really noticed, but it seems like the older generation of knights are the ones against Naofumi. The younger ones - and the ones that don’t have a dozen sticks up their asses - actually care to make their own judgements.
That's usually the way it works though. Old people are usually conservative and set-in-their-ways. Young people, whether it be due to a lack of life experience or just more brain elasticity, are generally more open minded. At least, as long as their mental growth isn't being stifled by their family/social group.
Thuazabi indeed
@@Thuazabi agreed.
@Pranay Talati I don't see what being white has to do with it but I agree with what u are saying
Jace prince Actually being white has a lot to do in the US it’s history. Being caucasian in the US gets people better jobs, higher wages and an overall more decent life. They are okay with their life and want to conserve it. People of colour didn’t get those privileges until (relatively) recent in history, those people would never want to go back to a time where they lived in poverty.
The way raphtalia explodes out of naofumi's cape is so cool. Raphtalia is such a badass now and I love it
Like a missile
BYOOM
It also kinda explains that Raphtalia is not very smart or clever, quite stupid actually. She needed explanation from Naofumi to grasp the whole seriousness of the situation. Can be seen from her reaction. Or maybe she was just too lost in a thought, being proteccted by Naofumi, explained by blush.
@@hujax you hurt her master she hurts you
Simplification
Like a balloon ball monsters!
The knight with the scar across his face has like no character devolpment whatsoever and he's already made an impression to me
Ikr? It's weird that later the young knight seem to lead the knights that want to be with Naofumi, while scar-guy in the one who made them fight for him in the first place (+ being able to pary Raftalia's surprise attack like it's nothing is pretty impressive for a mere human with no blessing or power whatsoever)
Well actually during a loved and very satisfying point in the story, I'm hoping everyone who has seen it knows what I'm talking about, you actually see him again with a sort of "I knew something was off" look.
@@guifire9747 For what i remember the scar knight actualy we get to see him stand up for naofumi as well, and i think he chose more to stay with the knights because they also need to be lead and he wants to be some kind of exemple, while the others who are youngers just decided to go on a party with naofumi. But everyone's situation is settled if i remember
Hope we see some character development of him in future seasons. The fact he was appeared out of no where and was able to block her surprise attack tells me there's more to him than meets the eye.
@@guifire9747 didn't ask you
Brags about being a "Royal Knight", almost get's killed by a monster, that a teenage demi-human girl easily killed...
teenage demi-human Shinobi waifu
She's actually 10
That's a bigger burn.
@@the_raven199 in Racoon years?
Clearly, he got the position through familial connections rather then being good at knighting. :p
Can we talk about the knight who ordered the other knights to get into Phalanx formation?
Dude deserves a goddamn trophy.
As long as we ignore that they didn’t have spears. But yes I agree it was good of him to take initiative and am only really criticizing it cause I’m a nerd and speed deprived.
Naofumi spared their lives.
Dude deserves a promotion for not being braindead and seeing that sometimes following the orders of older people isn't the way to solve problems. He understood what had to be done, and he did it. Good for him for being smarter than most.
@@John-doe955 nvm their shields aren't really large enough to lock together in a proper Phalanx.
Why wasn't he the knight captain?
If you're keeping score, Naofumi has directly protected at least 6 people with that shield in this town (one guy twice), not including blocking for Raphtalia at least 5 times here. Raphtalia's right, that Shield HAS saved her life many times.
People who bash on supports have no idea how valuable they are. Pffft! Just look at that *beautiful* teamwork between Naofumi and Raphtalia.
@@MrDibara What about people who bash on tanks?
@@DerKopfnussritter Just as ignorant! My Mash still saves my goddamn hide plenty of times in FGO and I never regreted maxing her out!
MrDibara I was not expecting an FGO player LOL
@@MrDibara Out of curiosity, what does MGO stand for?
I like how the monsters are just standing behind the knights like, "Yeah, Naofumi, go tell them. We'll wait here."
They probably just spawned since the nights killed the rest
@@isdrakon9802Thats exactly why you methodically take them down a few at a time so they don’t all respawn and overwhelm you
The shield he uses to survive the flames is the Light Metal Shield, which has a Magic Defense Up special effect but just a +1 to Defense ~
Shame that we dont see much which skill he is using and what buffs he gets.
But maybe is for the best: instead we see who is the True hero.
Btw, that slasher smile: glorious
@@gustavoargumanis1863 True, but probably for the best yes. Specially since a lot of his shield abilities are passives or if it's active when equipped we can sort of get the idea with the scene.
If they showed the stats too much I'd break the feel of some scenes like this one ~
Naitsabes Yerref from what i remember the passive effects are active no matter what shield he’s on, but he does have to change shields to use the skills,.
@@manuelkanbara Whilst it is important not to break flow for game mechanics, I still find myself pausing to read whenever the HUD appears. Like during the fight against the Spear Hero where it shows the guy is over 20 levels higher than Naofumi. He has so many cool shields, passive abilities and skills but we don't really get that nuance without the LN. Same for Raphtalia. We see her gain XP occasionally but we don't see her getting any skills.
@@manuelkanbara I think early on it explains he gets a passive effect from each shield but has to master it first. Kinda like some FF Games where you get a skill from using an item that has the skill on it and save it permanently when you get the JP for it. Last one that I knew had that skill was either a tactics or FF9.
0:46 This moment right here was an interesting one for me.
Raphtalia’s sword is actually aiming for Mister Asschin McBullshitter, or the guy “in charge” of the knights (and presumably the one who ordered the friendly fire). The only reason this idiot is still alive is because of Sir Scarface blocking Raphtalia’s lunge like a boss.
When you compare Asschin’s face to Scarface’s...face, you can tell Scarface is a professional, seasoned war veteran who values action over words. He immediately put himself in harm’s way to stop a lightning quick demi-human from goring his superior. The man is completely fearless.
Comparing that to Asschin, who’s more concerned about pissing on the Shield Hero (and pissing his pants at every real sign of danger), and you can tell it was only through red tape that this guy became head of the knights. He’s a blowhard trying to cash in on the situation, not actually helping people.
Makes you wonder how their standings and attitudes will affect their destinies in the coming weeks...
I never would’ve noticed that... thank you
Ohhh, and scarface is the one that led the knights to help the shield hero after that O.O
i never realized that, thank you
Well not really Raph at this point is around 20 levels lower than the captain so likely it wouldn't have ever hit him or would have done little to nothing.
Xavier Lucky levels aren’t everything lol naofumi was 20 levels lower than the spear hero and was bodying him until myne cheated
Now we see not all knights are looking for recognition of the "heroes" and some of them do the right thing (and see who the true hero is)
Their good men willing to protect other unlike the other who are only looking for their own survival
Tell me this again in next episode)
USS Anime DD24 it would be cool if a knight joined him or a someone joins him in consequence to him saving him/her for save them or their village
@@jonl6091 a squad of knights joins him later on just for the 2nd or 3rd wave. i forgot which wave it was but yeah
@@holy.chase1463 yeah I think the opening gave away the idea that he'd get more recruits for his party
You can tell that one royal knight is a filty noble from the fact that he doesnt look battle ready ( not by looks or from having scares ) he needed to be guarded by that one royal knight ,that one is a decent human being)
His chin got cut in half at some point in his life it not that he not battle ready it just he doesn't care
WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
At least most of the troops have the decency to advance in the direction of the Shield Hero against the enemy...
Sign of progress
Baby steps
Nah it was just due to the other 3 Heros being in that direction.
@@edwardaugustus9680 But they were in the opposite direction
Give that Lieutenant a promotion, he's earned it
Gonna get fired for helping the shield hero probably lol.
With those poor tactical calls? That wasn't even a proper phalanx, not to mention the phalanx is a defensive formation and there's no reason to form one if you're then just going to charge.
@@233Deadman Considering his commanding officers isn't able to defend himself+his idea of a strategy is to rain fire on a city filled with civilians and allies, he's probably smarter by their army's standard
To be fair, i don't speak Japanese, so i wonder if the soldier really don't know what a phalanx is or if the traduction is just off the mark :/
@@guifire9747 Might've been one of those weird translation issues.
@@dudebro2638 Indeed, he probably either used another term that can't translate or something like "assemble" or "in formation" i guess
0:40 raphthalia's facial expresion change
I had to replay that over and over when I saw that first time
Sexy righteous fury
Still replaying that part lol
After 2 months still replaying....
That was some Clementine crazy eye going on there.
The moment the knight said "support the shield hero!" That moment made me feel so happy
I love the quick emotions they animated with Raphtalia, from the adoration that Naofumi protected, to the shock from his words, to the anger. It was so fluid. I really appreciate the work they put into this anime.
Raphtalia BEST GIRL 2019
Best, and strongest girl
NO LEWDING, she is still 10 years old. Don't let her body fool you.
You have no idea
Sonia Blanche tbf beastman age and grow old faster than humans
Sonia Blanche it’s ok, by the end of the series they’re age in incalculable
The absolute ZERO F*CKS Raphtalia gives and just charges in defense of the one she cares about the most, one of my favorite scenes
I just now noticed that they're the same knights shown during Bitch's trial later on 😅.
You're not alone
Also the same ones who honour Naofumi later (most of them)
Probably the queen allowed only the knights who supported Naofumi. There are some knights who worked for the Three Heroes Church they would have helped Malty and the king to escape if they were the majority.
THAT explains why one of the guards was so scared at her trial lol
@@hannahprewitt4215 it's also the same knight that burnt down the forest when naofumi was framed for kidnapping melty
2:27 i can hear Alexander just rolling around in his grave at this piss poor phalanx
It got the troops back into the game. It served its purpose.
The only thing lacking is the spears. I understand the fact that not everybody knows medieval history and doesn't know that spears were the dominant weapon of the warfare but I guess the formation still serves its purpose. They're closely aligned with shields and their swords are protruding out keeping the enemy at bay and morilizing your own men to fight. So I guess it still works somewhat ?
There's a feeling of security behind a shield wall even without spears
The formation is schiltrom, not phalanx
it's a bad translation
This scene just has more and more meaning the further you look into it. Finally, more and more people are starting to see through the lies way before the queen does her thing. To not spoil too much. It's one of the best-crafted anime I've seen to date.
2:26:
"Phalanx !"
Me: without spears ?
"Charge !"
Me: why did you do a phalanx then damit !!!!
that also got me confused LOL I feel like a nerd for being too nitpicking about war formations and all that but damn that was poorly thought
I suppose Phalanx formation is a formation of spear and shields in a half circle? my best guess is that he wanted his scattered knights to form up close before the charge but hell I don't know much of war formations so I would think there be a better formation to take.
@@sgtsaldl I am not an expert on my own, but I can explain it to you if you want.
The " phalanx" formation is one of the most famous war tactics and it was supposedley used by the conqueror Alexander the great around 338 a.c. - 168 d.c.
The phalanx is composed by a close-rank formation of heavy infantry aligned with long spears and interlocking shields as it's said by the article of the "ancient history encyclopedia" .
The purpose of this tactic is to demoralize the enemy infantry without compromising defense, in which case, the territory that favored this kind of formation was mostly flat land, free from any obstacle that could break it's cohesion and ruin it's effectiveness.
In case you're still reading and you haven't gone anywhere yet, I asume that you can see the main problem with the scene we were talking about. There is literally no reason for them to yell "phalanx!" Out of nowhere if they've got not enough forces to keep the enemy's strenght at bay, nor the ideal terrain to execute the formation, and most important, if they have no freaking spears!! xD
@@Ganom-ng1zt the phalanx had been around in practice long before alexander, his addition was to make even longer spears than those currently in use by his countrymen. a phalanx or shield walls of different types most likely have been around since the dawn of warfare, while some like alexander used this tactic to great effect with longer spears and tightly structured disciplined formations he is not the originator. the spear was a main part of the formation not just for the reach it provides but because spears were cheap to produce and easy to use making them perfect for larger armies of poorly trained conscripts. in practice however spears break or get disarmed quickly once the opposing force closes ground and more often than not the bulk of the fighting was done with shorter melee weapons, at least for those in the front rows. the spears allowed those farther back from the front to reach over top and assist the front lines with well timed spear strikes taken from relative safety behind a row or two of defenders.
while you are right it is used to great effect on an open battle field . it has nothing to do with having superior numbers it is a defensive stance that allows a smaller disciplined force to defend itself while outnumbered. they have every reason to take this formation given the fact that they are surrounded by enemies. the lack of spears is a complete non issue due to the fact that their numbers ARE so low those near the center of formation can still reach to strike over the heads of their allies without needing the extra reach a spear provides, so while not technically a true "phalanx" and more just a shield wall the differences in the end are somewhat small and i think its more an issue with translation and the fact that the term phalanx is so widely used and recognized. this term is used often in video games as well as a stand in for any group defensive stance.
@@pattygreen8064 Alexander was the most recent and recognizable example that crossed my mind at the moment, and I don't think I ever stated that he was the first user of such tactic, but that's not important now.
Thank you for sharing this information, as I said, I'm not pretending to be an expert at the topic, though it still doesn't change the idea that the anime didn't really do a great job at explaining itself about that speciffic dialogue and it immediatly became, well, silly in my eyes. Because of how weirdly portrayed it was..
Men with true honour supported the shield hero. If he would have left them to die these men of quality would have died too.
A selfless act always sparks another.
raphtalia and naofumi fighting together is cool as heck, we need more fighting couples instead of OP MCs that can do everything by themselves
They aren’t a couple
@@whiterose8601 oh my sweet sweet summer child. The writing is on the walls, it just needs to be read
1:27
That slasher smile!
Glorious!
Raphtalia's expressions when she's under Naofumi are perfection incarnate.
Hello I am the FBI, just checking to make sure you know raphtalia is 10.
Thank you
@@TheBritishSn0rlax Such laws only apply to humans, not to fantasy demi-humans. Moreover, Raphtalia has no age, she is a drawing and even a leftist should be able to understand this.
@@Archedgar plus she's biologically 18, demi-humans age with their level lol
2:15-2:30 When you find out who the destined future knights of the round table are 💛🛡⚔
0:50 Woah! Raphtalia just keeps getting better and better.
Well at least some of these knights know where their duty truly lies.
0:37 Raphtalia goes from full dere dere to URUSANAI in 3 seconds flat.
Best girl in motion.
Even worse, something tells me the royal knights would've done that fireball thing even with people in the village. Especially if they're willing to risk killing a Hero.
It was thank goodness to the Shield Hero and Ralphtalia that the casualties were in the single digits cuz the wave wasn't the only thing that would've gotten people killed.
And if it was any other hero than the Shield one, the fireballs would've killed them
The knights would have probably killed more people at that village then the wave did. THey were bombarding the entire area...
Nah, the other heroes scale to Naofumi by this point and wouldve tanked it just as easily.
2:14
One of the few who recognized the courage of the Protagonist, the only loyal one who accompanied them with the others cowardly corrupt knights
Raphtalia is so adorable balancing her badass attitude for her beloved Naofumi-sama and being obedient and precise in all her actions. We definitely need more of such scenes in the Season III and the Movie! Making the Rising of The Shield Hero so great again! ❤
00:31 Was Raphtalia blushing because she was so close to him or am I getting it wrong?
She is blushing because of him. I'm not sure if it's obvious or not, but she has a crush on him, or rather, she is in love with him.
James Schulte maybe we’ll get lucky and the anime will pull another direction...
@James Schulte He better get that both ways. The wrath of the weeaboo army is far worse than any of those waves
@James Schulte This is incorrect. As evidenced when people were giving Raphtalia free things and saying "You grew up to be very beautiful", Naofumi only saw her as how he got her. He proves this by calling everyone lolicons.
In ep 4 when she finally brings him back from his despair he comments on not even recognizing her, showing he had no concept of the fact that she, let alone the world around him had evolved beyond what it was when he got her.
Right now Naofumi needs someone he can trust. Raphtalia gave him a reason to fight, a reason to care. That kind of character development though? It takes time.
I think they’re wife and husband on the WN
Protect that Smile
I legit got choked up at this scene because the knights were not only helping, they were HAPPY to be allowed to help. Also Raphtalia would have absolutely one-shot that commander if the honorable knight with the scar hadn't intervened.
Why does Raphtalia's rage face at 0:41 make her look infinitely more attractive?
She made a tanya face
@@moinmahmud6265 Damn you, Being X!
0:45 that's kind of "You're goddamn dead" face expression
0:46 'guy in the back' It was at this moment he knew...he fucked up
@@travelleroftheatlas4680 Considering he's murdered later in the series then yeah...
@@digstrememcdingus1463 really?
Damn
Raph's clothes look so soft and cozy. Like I can feel how it feel to hug her just by looking at her.
Rather than just some scanty fantasy clothes other fantasy girls wear.
To be frank, this kind of wear feels a lot more attractive and beautiful then the overly exaggerated or exposing outfits most fantasy settings make women wear. I feel that kind of trend is good for maybe one or two characters at most, same for the "Conan, the Barbarian" look, but not as a standart for everyone else.
Raphtalia's costume actually looks pretty medieval-like, despite her legs showing (the only "scanty" side of her outfit). Heck, those sleeves almost look like gambesons from a certain perspective! She looks like she's actually wearing light armor. I think that's really neat.
EDIT: Okay, correction, maybe not at this point yet. But later on, Raphtalia's costume really gets an upgrade and actually looks like light armor.
But yeah, even here, I'm glad her clothes aren't the stereotypical *almost nude "armor"* that's so overly used, sometimes. XP
Like I said, when that becomes a standart, it stops being cool and just becomes ridiculous. Well, I'm my personal opinion, at least.
@@MrDibara If you don't wear armour you would NEED a good shield
@@unwithering5313 rapiers and armour piercing weapons be like
i want people to notice about that one knight who was able to stop raphtallia's trust, the same trust that killed the giant zombie, while wielding the sword with only one hand and in the worst angle for confortable blocking
0:43 this is the part when the shield hero throws his raccoon out of his cloack (i know the names btw lol)
It’s a joke
"Raphtalia, I choose you!" XD
@@ElemenTerra1 that was a good one ngl
I love Raphtalia so much, because her warm character and kind trait make people calm down. Thank to her for giving me so much relief.
This probably isn't relevant but I want to take a moment to acknowledge the ineptitude of Melromarc's military. When they draw their swords when Raphtalia attacked them, that implies that they were walking into what is effectively a warzone unarmed. It's a small detail, but you'd think when you're walking into a battlefield you'd at least want a weapon in hand.
They did think they burned all the zombies.
@@Plusle843 that's true, but the sky is practically crapping out more monsters.
at least some of them had the balls and the brain to do their actual jobs
I love the soldier's face at 2:07 :D
Raphtalia's glare was everything! That scene had me shook af. For a goddess like her to get angry enough to fight other human beings means someone fucked up BAD
This is in even more of a stark contrast as we can see that typically she acts as Naofumi's compass. Talking him out of doing things to hurt the people that betrayed him, or staying his hand (like in episode 5) from lashing out in general.
0:59 Same energy as Speedwagon
SpeeedwagggoOoooooN
1:54 I just noticed it the scene form the trailer :o
Nah, it's not the same:
This one is the Second Wave of Calamity,
The scene from the trailer is the Third Wave, with Filo and the Rage Shield
"Oh wow I wish he'd hold me like this all the ti- WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST TRY TO DO?!"
Naofumi was so badass in this ep.
He's badass everytime.
Shield Hero: Use the time to get into formation!
2:10 knight guy: _Bye!_
Also just loving this sword+shield duo, reminds me of Steven and Connie from Steven Universe.
It was from this moment, that Raphtalia became my #1 favourite character...
Raphtalia ghost out of cloak...
Me: when did Raphtalia cross-class to assassin?
Love naofumi. This world wronged him I'm almost every possible way, and he's very clearly angry about it, but he still chooses to protect those who mock him.
The satisfaction in this scene.... This is where everything turned around for him

One of my favorite things about this show's first season was how is showed how grey a public false-accusation can make things... Even when you're doing something right some people don't want to help or give you a second chance or any credit just because of who they think you are, but then there are others who are willing to look past any possible misdeeds and move forward with any given task at hand.
This show came out at the peak of "believe all women", so a whole lot of people criticized it for DARING to suggest that women are capable of lying.
Shield Hero will most likely be the most remembered anime for 2019 and maybe even in history. Might as go far as best Isekai anime
Was the TOP manga in most manga reader sites at one point.
The animation flow of Shield&Sword by the end was so frigging cool, as to show their teamwork made them one person in battle
2:25 the guys more like finally someone who talk sense
Truly one of the best animated and written anime’s I’ve seen in a LONG timr
I was really hoping through this whole series he would get some kind of empowered shield bash type ability. Would have been awesome to see a really good one used in the duel with spear hero.
I wasn't actually that much into the hordes idea until they released it since it's such a generic isekai trope but in this show it MATTERS.
It's the reason the heroes were summoned and it's a shit ton of danger to everyone in the area.
Let's just compare a generic isekai like SAO to Shield hero with a metaphore.
In SAO, if you get punched in the face you don't feel it and you punch harder
In Shield hero, if you get punched you fall back, you feel pain, you have a mark on you and you're not punching any harder.
The punch matters in that show and that's what makes it so good.
That and Raphtalia
If you are talking about SAO as a game then I will rebuttal that as it is a game. If it is Alization then I call that a fair point.
SAO can barely be considered an Isekai so that comparison is horrible. You're also comparing getting punched in reality vs getting punched in a video game simulation and treating it as the same is also wrong. Going by your logic, Bleach, Dragon ball and Yugioh would be considered Isekais.
@@MrZahsome I love this comment as it shows actual points.
I just said Alicization since I feel like SOME people(Aka the people that think SAO is a harem) will think it is an Isekai.. Even if it is NOTHING LIKE ONE. It is just Sci-fi and an adventure story.
The thing about SAO and feeling pain is interesting. You only feel a slight thud on you if you're playing the game normally, but the feeling of knowing you're taking damage and you might die is the kick.
Your mind is what makes it real and SAO through Nerve Gear goes mostly through your brain, through your mind, they know it's a death game and they feel every single bit of pain they suffer. From exhaustion to thirst to hunger. In SAO it's all real to them, since if they think it's happening, well then it's happening.
Its like a beautifull dance between sword and shield, when they switch positions during a fight ♥
That’s the most corrupt kingdom I’ve ever seen.
Not all of them are like that. Melty's cool, and the scar-faced knight clearly knows the score too.
Then this is the only one you have ever seen.
@@thegk-verse4216 tbf, while it may have been more common back in the middle ages (which is largely what this setting mimics), it would still be rather rare to see such blatant hostility towards someone that is ostensibly an ally of the state, on the battlefield especially. Not showing even a modicum of respect or restraint in situations like that were a great way to either incite a rebellion or die from a dagger in the back. That's the whole reason the Queen didn't play a major role until the last few episodes - she was doing major damage control to prevent a world war. If she hadn't done that, Melromarc would have been summarily destroyed by the other nations. No amount of Heroic or Holy weapons would've saved them. The queen even said as much.
@@Thuazabi Yes,Siltvelt and Shieldfreden almost declared war on Melromarc
Looks like France before French Revolution
Tbh I’m pretty happy to know that naofumi sama protected her and would protect her with he’s life and would do anything to protect her and keep her safe at all times no matter what and I’m so proud of my baby’s for overcoming the obstacles that we’re in their way and yet they overcame it together
This anime is so good and so rage-inducing. I love it.
God damn the way they fought was like a dance they were so cool
I love the way of looking of Raphtalia before she attacks de knight.
Whenever I watch this scene now I can't help but remember the IG video where it cuts from Raphtalia dashing out of his cape to a real life raccoon jumping at someone. I can't help but laugh.
I love this show, and i just noticed this, but because of naofumi's inability to use a weapon, he is the only hero that HAS to cooperate with others to defeat the waves and almost forces others to stand shoulder to shoulder. Just a neat little plot device thing that i like.
I noticed that the guy with the scar in the face kept calm during the whole situation, it's quite rare.
The animation on this episode was so awesome
1:29 When you roll 0 on perception check
Depends on the wisdom modifier, then again lets be honest that man was never wise to begin with.
daniel beck nor intelligent, charismatic, or have high constitution.
Knight with a mustache:Leave 'em, they're crazy
Get goosebumps when the soldiers support and form charge
This is a really deep show if you watch it all. Loved it, gj crunchy roll
There is so many “Switches” with Naofumi and Raphtallia
If you get what I mean.
Raptalia Best waifu😍
The knight at 2:15 is probably the only respectable knight/side character of this series(not taking into account the junior knights that he commands,(the one's who ask to join naofumi's party))
Thanks to him being Lied to and shunned he was able to become the only hero summoned
I ship them :)
In what regard?
Asking in the FBI’s stead
I love how fluid Raftalias hair looks
you dont need to be choosen, you can be a hero all the time.
Just rewatching this to get ready for Season 2 :O
"The team needs you, be their Shield. Balderich"
"Hesitation is defeat."
When you have a couple who plays knight and 2-handed fighter.
The way Raphtila's face changed from worried to staring daggers shook me a bit.
to all that are looking for the music. of this scene is The Rising of the SHIELD HERO OST - Mirrors
Anyone have the name of the OST that starts at around 1:39 and plays for the rest of that uncut fight scene?
pride is one of the worst debuffs to our cericter we can but should not tolerate.
Naofumi and Ralphtalia are in formation!!
Imagine trying to make a phalanx formation with a shield as tiny as theirs.
See, this is what I call honor and how naofumi has made loyal allies and not feared betrayers
I fricking love This anime can’t wait for season 2
You know what's funny is I misread the title of the video and thought it said "Real Knights" and thought the title fit perfectly since the pfp was of Naofumi and Raphtalia.
0:40 the exact moment she goes from embarrassed to outraged.
Now that the season is over i gotta go through all the highlights again lol.
Naofumi would be savage in “Overlord” world
2:09 captain assface: leave the shield hero. We are going to grovel at the feet of the other 3 heroes!
Captain badass: Like hell we are!
honestly i´m surprised naofumi didn´t side with the waves and scythe hero after everything those "people" did to him
Awesome The Rising of the Shield Hero Video.
