Looks like the water dragon priestess wants Raphtalia and their allies to call off their army...

Well it wasn't easy but after back and forth talk, they were able to come up with an agreement. Felt bad for the priestess tbh. She was bearing this responsibility and her superiors were not pleased. So yeah, an imminenet battle seems to begin soon yikes.

Well, just kill that mad baba Makina and everything will be resolved. By killing just one person, you can save the entire Q'ten Lo.

I suppose Shildina getting herself killed would follow the spirit of the emperor's order if not the letter.

Raphtalia still exists!!

Despite her position as a glorified attack dog for the government, Mini-Sadeena apparently really cares about the citizens of Q Ten Lo. Also gotta love those totally trustworthy homicidal soldiers who were working for the government until five minutes ago. Then there's a better look at arc's villian Makina. Just take Bitch, slap a pair of furry ears on her, and call it a day.

Overall, a very strong showing for Raph. She'll keep the peace, but refuse to back down from what she believes in. Her road to become Empress is bearing fruit.

I'm wondering if this season should be made into an action-packed movie instead of 12 episodes of political talk. But then again, the latest tensei slime season is all political talk and still successful so I'm not surprised that other anime would do the same.

Ngl, while I do enjoy this season so far, a "defensive battle" as a conclusion doesn't look satisfying to me...

Makina is cruel indeed, and B***h's voice actress definitely nailed it, but did her first appearance since E1 genuinely happen on this very page of the light novel? I feel like it would've looked better had she also made a slight appearance in the previous two episodes.

Wonder if they'll immediately announce a 2nd cour (but it seems unlikely). The art director also needs to be protected at all costs.

I really enjoy that Motoyasu has his own completely separate story just going on the background.

Also, malicious compliance: You said I had to stop the rebel army from attacking even if it costs me my life, you didn't say I had to lead the government army or even fight to do it.

A new emperor is born! Well, sorta. Obviously Makina war mongering ass wasn’t gonna allow that peace deal to go thru. I think our new water miko is the biggest victim, poor thing just wants what’s best for her people and did the right thing in negotiating with raphtalia, but now she had to fight on a side she knows is wrong in a battle she knows is lost, all because of some power hungry maniacal bitch. Speaking of bitch, her seiyuu nailed that performance.

Fitting we get a defensive battle as the finale here. Wouldn’t be a shield hero story otherwise lol.

So proud of my girl, Empress Raphtalia.🛐 Her resolve and determination to just not resolve personal issue but to protect the people is worthy to be a leader.

Well classic case of a corrupt regency. Makina is evil yeah but even if that's a child calling him innocent is lunacy. Both deserved to die.

Honestly I want to see a big war to end this arc it's been amazing so far the best thing since S1 but hiy need to close out in a good way. The Isekai part (2nd half of S2) was also very promising at start before it ruins the end. Hopefully this will be different as I really enjoyed this and reminded why this series still is so good..

Damn Motayasu now has filolial loli harem himself🫡

Very good, I'm happy to be able to enjoy another high-quality episode. the storyboard was excellent, as was the direction, soundtrack, and story.

Raphtalia takes center stage and makes her decision, but it's a shame that she thinks she should overthrow the government without resorting to violence, i hope that when she faces reality, she accepts it and moves on, as she has done several times in the anime.
I'm looking forward to the next episode, i wonder if we'll have two fights, one on a large scale and the other being the duel between Raphtalia and Shieldina. If that happens, I hope the staff's focus will be on the duel.

In fact, the detail of how Motoyasu is currently doing made me jump out of my chair, i don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Motoyasu is my favorite character in the anime and he's not even showing up. lol

Motoyasu and his addiction to Filo is so strong that he has his own group of loli Filoials following him. Not only do I find that amusing, but it also makes me want to protect Filo from him at all costs. XD

The talk between Raphtalia and Shildina, the water empress, went a lot smoother than I thought it would and it did look like things could be resolved without any fighting. Sadly, that was too good to be true, as Shildina's attempts to negotiate with the current emperor was derailed thanks to Makina, or Bitch 2.0 to be more accurate. Her seiyuu performance was impressive, which helps to make me hate her character even more.

Fighting seems inevitable, so hopefully Naofumi's group can hold their ground. Before that, they have to deal with a pissed off Shildina. Here's hoping that she allies herself with Naofumi and joins the fight to take down Makina and the current emperor.

Ohh, this really is starting to rush things off like season 2 and 3, isn't it? This whole episode felt rushed, with no worldbuilding, just giving us some narration instead.
Where is the whole character development we got in some episodes this season, and we used to get in season 1?

And there are so many unexplained stuff. Did the heroes just receive a new abillity by touching a stone in a foreign country, where there isn't much of a connection to the Heroes? They completely rushed over the old capital "retrieval", and it was quite easy for Raphtalia getting that buff. It's hard to understand why the Majesty just does whatever Makina wants, since, well, he is the Majesty, ok he's a kid, but he doesn't want to do what Makina wants, and it's not like she could do much to him (or if she can, they could have showed it already), so this whole drama just seems weird and hard to relate.
I wonder what the Water Priestess is going to do now, will she try to "honour" His Majesty?

it's not rushed, half of the episode was anime original while only adapting few chapters from the novel

the objective of the story has shifted for these novels they covered in s3 & s4, but season 5 focuses on character development for naofumi again for the entire season, with very high stakes

Motoyasu's subplot: HOOOOOOOLY SHIT LMAO 🔥🔥🔥

For real tho, need more Motoyasu lore, bro is so crazy for Filo he went gacha mode (eggs) off-screen and got his own filolial queens as daughters lmao, wasn't expecting that!

Raphtalia did in 1 episode what Naofumi has struggled to achieve en 4 seasons.
I like Shildina, sadly she is also an orca, nothing against the animal but damn does that transformation look ugly.
We finally see the emperor and is just a coward ass child, lameee, why does everything in this show has to be about kids and furries now, I mean it has always been like that at some extend but now it's the entire plot.
And that woman Makina, yeah she is the boss here, but she is nothing special, her character is just another BITCH, literally, they even have the same hair, like they didn't even try lol

Is it just me or was the animation quality really, really good in some shots? Impressive.

Honestly I expected them to send Sadina to meet her relative.

I totally forgot they can teleport with the dragon vein, there is just so much going on in this show.

Who is Makina anyway? She is not even subtile at all.

Spear Lolicon seems to have a really interesting sub plot of his own, I grew to like how we only ever see small snippets of what he is doing

This entire show is weirdly good, way better than I expected. Its 4 seasons in but its still interesting in a way and finds new stuff to do. Its not even like the side plot feels like filler to delay the main plot with the waves, as there is clearly a lot of focus on it.

@Comander-07 What I remember about the episode is: It begins with Naofumi leading his underage slaves to fight in the coliseum and ends with the beginning of the fight between Itsuki and Rishia. The episode had excellent storyboarding, especially the tense encounter between the three heroes in the waiting room.

@Myetx unfortunately the worst of all was the second one, but the only one that was "decent" was the first one, half of it was in the city that idolizes the hero of the shield, then this boring thing about Raphtalia's kingdom, by any chance will she abandon the hero of the shield and stay there? If not, it's just a waste of time, in fact this fourth season is very weak...

Since 2017, Motoyasu also has his own spinoff, called "The Reprise of the Spear Hero". I guess that's why they chose not to include more of his sub plot in the main story.

So Zodia’s actual name is Shildina? And the name of the emperor is Ruftmila and I was wrong about them looking like Raphtalia. It seems that the emperor is a little boy and Makina is manipulating him to do whatever she wants, no matter the cost to the people of Q’Ten Lo and Shildina was simply trying to find the most peaceful route possible, which is why she offered the Old Capitol to them, and due to her request, Raphtalia decided to follow through with becoming the new Emperor.

I respect that Raphtalia wants to solve all of this peacefully, but Makina will do whatever it takes to make that impossible, and it seems that a fight is lurking and Shildina doesn’t have the courage to go against the Emperor, or should I say Makina’s orders, because we all know that the Emperor isn’t acting on accurate information and for whatever reason allows himself to be pressured by Makina. She’s a bitch.

There are only two episodes left this season, so I don’t know if this war will be resolved, but know Ren is here as well so maybe the tides will change, and it seems that Motoyasu is hanging out with some other filolials, a red, blue, and green one, in which Filo would complete the color collection. I’m shocked that nobody knows where he is, but since he’s working on Naofumi’s behalf in protecting Filo, I can respect his efforts, albeit he has ulterior motives.

@Desmascarado Yes, I've noticed that in the opening as well. However, this is the first episode where Makina really had a screen time. In the previous episodes, they're just showing her very briefly. So, you cannot say for sure that she really is Malty by just basing on the previous episodes. You're merely just guessing. All of us are. But in this episode, you can really say for sure that it is her. So, I don't know what you're trying to point out.

@Desmascarado Haven't watched it yet. Just finished watching the latest episode of "I was reincarnated as a seventh prince." I'll watch it after I watch the latest episode of "Dealing with Mikadono sisters is a breeze." But you do know you somehow spoiled episode 11 a little bit for me, didn't you?
