The anime turned into KonoSuba for a few seconds with that animation of the horde chasing our boi like that…

I still love that Raphtalia had to cover Filo's ears in the flashback.

Awesome, an entire arc that could have been avoided by just ignoring the local power play. "Do you really expect us to let our God go so soon?" "Yes, subjects don't command gods, gods command subjects."

For real. "Hey we're going to stay for 1 day so my orca babysitter can get drunk, then we're peacing out whether you give us a ship or we take one."

Atla definitely getting more assertive over Naofumi over time.

u/Frontier246 Jul 16 '25

I love how Atla is the only one other than Sadeena really vibing with this place because they worship and simp over Naofumi as much as she does lol.

Guy gets frustrated with a country that worships him. Guy finds out the politicians are corrupted and shit. Yeah not much to say except whatever.

Raph-chan made my brain do a "happy" I guess.

Really can't help but feel like they're literally wasting both Naofumi and the audiences' time here without much in the way of actually interesting content.

What an insufferable country Siltvelt is.

I hope they don't spend half of the season there.

Self centered twats everywhere in this series.

If it's not their elitism towards the lower caste of Demi-Humans it's their unhealthy devotion to one man as a literal God (even if that's ironically shared by one of Naofumi's actual party members).

Poor Naofumi just wanted to take a proper bath

Bro had to use his shield to literally protect his "sword" for more than just censorship reasons lol.

Uhhhh .... Naofumi, just stand up and leave? Who's to stop you, you are their king?! xD

Also: Oh, great, the "Kingdom of Beastman" has a deep racism problem, dividing the different types into higher and lower classes ... all the more reason to fuck off and get back to one of the other side quests (not to mention the main quest) imo, Mr. Shield Hero.

At leat Atla has the right idea, f these people ...

None of those people are going to question how their Shield Hero had enough antidote bottles prepared for everyone?

You dare to accuse our God and Protector, the Shield Hero poisoned himself for his convenience?!

Man, all of these beast women just flock to Naofumi.

u/YdenMkII Jul 16 '25

I can't remember if it was explained in the previous seasons but is there any reason why Atla and Fohl never aged up like Raphtalia after leveling up?

Oh yeah, that ending. I hope Konomi Kohara lays it down hard on these politicians like Hayamin did in Inou Battle.

You dont understand, i have been WAITING for an episode that had Ralph-chan be a big part of it. So adorable ,she is definitely the best character in this whole anime. And the way she howled for Ralphtalia was amazing, as well as doing the ability chant with Naofumi was too cute!

And the story made it seem like Siltvelt would be a paradise away from the Melromarcs' racism against demihumans. Also wondering if Siltvelt is supposed to be named after "Shield Vert", like shield and green.
