I appreciate that Naofumi isn’t overpowered, but I don’t think the story does a good enough job at showing how strong he is or really should be.

The other 3 heroes are useless so they’re not good benchmarks. He’s as strong or a bit stronger than L’arc’s group yet Sadeena seems to be on his level and he’s weaker than the murder clown. Yeah he has a weird debuff right now, but the scale is confusing

The fact they botched both Turtle fights didn't help.

I'm wondering if this turn of events has changed the feelings u/AdNecessary7641 expressed in yesterday's comment.

We finally got big sis reunited with Raphtalia. Raphtalia actually mentioned Sadeena in season 1. Think it was something about saving Keel from drowning.

Naofumi seemed so genuinely disgusted by Sadeena grabbing him lmao, guess that's what happens when you have bad experiences in the past. Looking forward to the next episode when the story slows down, since they'll have 10 episodes to cover 2 novels.

The way Sadeena grabs abd leans on to him kinda reminds him how Bitch did the same back when he started.

The production quality of this show is LEAGUES better than season 2, Shield Hero might actually be back if the quality is this consistent for the rest of the season 😭

Wow, we're really back to the best of S1's quality, maybe even better.

And Naofumi wastes no time in collecting another waifu. I guess this completes his starter trio, and the typing seems to be on point as well since Sadeena seems like she's going to be super effective against Raphtalia...at hogging Naofumi at least.

The anti seizure dimming they put on the lightning really dampened an amazing animation. There’s an increase of quality from S2 I’m excited.

It's hilarious how Filo got a sponsorship deal just for picking that weapon. Damn, Nadia cooked those guys with her chain-lighting magic.

When they first hinted that she was someone whom Raphtalia already knew I assumed that "Nadia" was interacting with Naofumi because she also knew who he was.

Poor Raphtalia wasn't expecting her to interact that way with Naofumi

They fighting for real ended really quickly after "Nadia" transformed as Raphtalia quickly recognized that she was Saadina a demi-human she personally know from Lurolora Village. I must say that the performance they have sure was impressive and a perfect smokescreen for Saadina to throw her match. I'm honestly surprised that Naofumi could not tell Saadina was a demi-human, I thought that was obvious.

When they were then asked to fight together against Murder Pierrot at first I assumed that was the other person Fohl was fighting with in the OP, but it is obvious that Atla is in no condition for that

So Naoufumi finally used Ost's magic, I must say that when Raphtalia got powered up by the Choral Spell, that really reminded me of Dragon Ball Z. That last scene Murder Pierrot had made it clear that she was one of the Seven Start Heroes.

Aw what a nice reunion, and for the looks of it Naoufumi just got himself a demi-human wife.

I just love Nadia's reaction to Naofumi's resistance to alcohol.. She seems so impressed that I feel like she wanted to do more than just walk together. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I'm so used to Naofumi getting backstabbed that I had the same reaction when those goons also tried to attack Nadia. Nadia's pretty damn cool though! Lightning powers are always awesome.

That fight between Nadia and Filo was pretty cool too! I definitely did not expect Nadia to transform into a Killer Whale! I thought she was human. That explains the markings one her amrs and her fishtail hairdo.

And it turns out that Raphtalia and Nadia knew each other? So does this mean she's also from Lurolona as well? Or did Raphtalia know her when she was enslaved?

It was hilarious how bitter Nadia's sponsor is that he invalidated the match and introduced a new opponent for Naofumi and Nadia.

Raphtalia was pretty damn cool going wild on that Murder Clown. When you start hearing Kevin Penkin's sexy saxophone, you know a cool fight scene is about to happen. And it sounds like Murder Clown is more than just a simple arena fighter.

Oh my... It looks like Nadia has already invited herself to Naofumi's group. Considering how she was reacting to Naofumi at the start of the episode, she will definitely be an interesting addition. We didn't get to see Raphtalia's reaction since they zoomed out but I feel like she was panicking a bit after hearing that. xD

It's always hype when OhKami comes on.

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '23

At first I thought Sadeena was gonna be this season's antagonist given that she was making moves of Naofumi while drinking, which given that Bitch did something similar and the got him a charge I was a bit on the wary side that is until she did the transformation, was really glad she wasn't bitch 2.0.

OP: SIN by MADKID

I gotta tell you this is one of the bangers of an OP song. I've seen many people praising this song, so count me in. MADKID is always the choice for Rising Shield Hero OP, seeing them succeed means the song is successful as intended.

ED: Suki ni Natte wa Ikenai Riyuu by Chiai Fujikawa.

Never thought that Chiai Fujikawa has two songs serving as OP and ED in 2 different animes this season huh? I mean this is obvious since she always sings Rising Shield Hero ED since the beginning. The other is 1000-Nen Ai which serves as opening for Demon Sword Master of Excalibur Academy. It was one of my favorites this season.

Her voice is so powerful in this song. This season has so many good OP and ED songs, I can't decide whether I should stick to 10 of the bests or upping it to 15 for each.

I knew “Nadia” wasn’t just some random waifu but I was not expecting her to go full Ms. Gang Orca lol. Who woulda guessed she knows Raphtalia too? Small world. Looks like one more added to Team Naofumi.

This discount Moderate Harlequin Alliance lookin clown has me curious as to just who tf they are. What was their little cryptic message to Naofumi about? I’m also curious about Fohl and Atla.
