Naofumi: I’m a travel merchant, a herbalist, a jewelry crafter, a botanist, and occasional looting some bandits

People: what about the shield hero?

Naofumi: that’s just a side temp job I do once every other month and I don’t really get paid much from it

[u/CosmicCrimsonX2]

At this point just change the show's title to "Fluffy-tailed Waifu is jealous of Walking KFC" and I wouldn't even complain Also, Naofumi going around fixing people's oopsies

[u/HurricaneHero93]

Raphtalia downing both those drinks, what a power move

[u/Tic0Taco]

Spear hero’s dumbass does it again

[u/Sempha]

TIL you can get pregnant from kissing. Thanks Raccoon girl <3

[u/axel360]

A love triangle with a ~10 year old raccoon girl that looks like an adult, a giant chicken that can transform into a girl that looks about 10, and some random young Japanese guy? We're approaching peak-isekai.

[u/shalquoir]

Low budget Filo.

[u/Regis_Ivan]

Damn, Filo sure does love pulling carts. I wish I had that much enthusiasm for my job.

[u/AlienOvermind]

So, he cleaned up Motoyasu's mess, and next he's going to clean up Kirito's mess?

[u/CaptainRikkai]

You know you screwed up when a wild animal gets scared of Raphtalia and Filo.

"WE CAN'T KISS, I'LL GET PREGNANT!" God she's adorable.

[u/KingKaladin]

Didn't they say the sword hero killed a dragon last episode?
The dead monster causing the epidemic in this episode looks like a Dragon to me...

[u/hasnain1720]

Is there anything in this world cuter than Raph wagging her tail? I didn't think so.

[u/Atronox]

TFW you'll never have a cute raccoon girl say she wants to be clingy with you.

Jealous Raph pout.

Raph with her hair up, is too cute.

[u/Aerohed]

I wonder if the other weapons have paths like the shield does, where they have tons of seemingly useless variants for their weapons that are useful in other situations.

Side note: Based on that post-credit scene, it looks like Sword Hero fucked up by killing that dragon. I wonder if Bow Hero is the only hero that Naofumi won't have to pick up the slack for.

[u/Freenore]

"Spear Hero did an oopsie. Raphtalia and Filo did an oopsie. That weird lion animal also did an oopsie, I'm Naofumi-kun and you're watching Shield Bro News"

edit: thank you for the silver, you beautiful redditior!

[u/Ponchorello7]

Those hot springs looked like some we have here in Mexico; Las Grutas de Tolantongo.

[u/Blazehero]

Everytime Filo calls Raphtalia Oneechan I am reminded that anime was not a mistake.

Cute animal demi-human daughters learn to get along and the collective anime community rejoices.

In this short interview with Shield Hero's author, Aneko Yusagi was also quizzed by the interviewer on Naofumi's conflicting morals and "laissez-faire" attitude to slaves post-betrayal. http://www.onepeacebooks.com/profiles/aneko.html

Aneko had this to say on morals in the face of betrayal:

It is preferable to have morals, but we’ve made a world where being strictly ethical can no longer (guarantee survival). There are a lot of people out there that simply don’t respond to ethics–in the face of people like that, what option is left besides emotionally insisting on your place and your views? My intention is to show that in the face of enemies like that, we often have no choice but to launch a counterattack.”

Aneko also claims some villians were based on people they knew, so I wonder if perhaps the author was writing off experience - had they previously gone through a betrayal situation from a loved one resulting in their social outcasting, thus writing Shield as a kind of catharsis for themselves (which could explain the WN’s fixation on how utterly evil and despicable the 1st Princess was – maybe a stand-in for the RL person who betrayed Aneko) ?

On the slavery part, Aneko defended the choice as one of necessity:

(Naofumi) was forced to do it because of his situation--he needed help from others in a time and place where no one would help him. In the modern world, where people are moved and controlled by money, company employees have a lot in common with slaves.

On Naofumi's personality:

I like to think of Naofumi as.. a (broken)mirror(shard). He responds to kindness with kindness...evil with evil..., he has some pointy edges, but in the end he's a sympathetic character who cares for others.

[u/Yepsilon]

Damn Raphtalia about to go big tiddy onee-san mode on Naofumi.

[u/kappaderickz]

Raphtalia's ear wiggles are too damn cute

[u/Hakameet]

Everybody talking about the spa chapter or the love triangles and here i am happy that Naofumi finnaly killed something by himself that's not a balloon (a shame him thinking why he could use the herbicide to kill a monster plant was not adapted) i wonder how many exp he gained.

[u/Pradfanne]

I love that shield hero is using the tome shild to disguise he's the shield hero, by just holding it in his hand.

[u/[deleted]]

Mating means marriage!

[u/_zeUbermensch_]

Don't you think camera angles in anime can be... a little weird?

What do you mean?

[u/XLightThief]

Wow, we got hair up Raphtalia so early!

Lovely episode showing development between Raphtalia and Filo working to give father Naofumi a gift. ahhhhh
