That bizarre fake death of Filo cringes me like freakin unexpected. The animation and design of the ep is superb! anyway. Sadly that Rapthalia didnt get a chance to sleep with his Master together. :<

sure that was something, saw a lot of new things this episode. So i guess Naofumi will also have his "extremely pissed off and raged" mode in the form of meeting the curse requirements? Eh i mean it looked interesting, the weird text felt slightly off putting, but by the looks of it, it would be pretty cool if the curse also activated ever single one of his skills, since it did look as if his entire skill tree lit up like a Christmas tree. Either way pretty cool concept.

Ah shit so Ren's dead dragon caused all of this? I mean that's not enough to make me hate the guy since after all he did slay an entire fucking dragon, and i mean hay, how many times after you slayed a dragon do you think to yourself unless you're the cautious hero "i should probably dispose of it corpse in the unlightly event it decomposes into extremely toxic gases and ends up killing any neighbouring village in a 50km radius." but still, your really handing Naofumi the title of "cleaning janitor of the heroes fuck ups" right now.

Some pretty heartwarming stuff at the end i guess, Naofumi giving out some genuine smiles to Raphtalia and Filo.

Holy shit, finally Naofumi got a tough opponent. It was a zombie dragon! And he almost defeated and burnt into a sea of rage. But, ofc, Raph would be there to stopped him and prevented any unnecessary shit. Yeah, that Firo actually survived. Sasuga my fuckin fatass loli chick, as expected from her genkiness! But, its cost much too them. Despite Raph was under a curse ill, Nao also awakened his cursed shield overskill. Yeah, that rage fire shield, tho. Idk, but, somehow, i feel like that kind of power can be controlled. So, lets how far Naofumi can make a sure, his rage never controlled his whole mind anymore. Also, another somehow, i feel like those legendary shield, actually alived and really consumed the owner's negative soul energy. That shield really the real enemy to Naofumi, as her fear as the whole time. Oh well, well, then. Better you hold on that power, yuusha-sama ....

Okay, next episode!

Was pretty obvious that Filo would survive, an undead dragon probably can't even digest anything anymore. Wonder if Naofumi will master that curse shield sooner or later, seems to be quite powerful. Next episode is called "Colossal bitch", that's an interesting title.

Soooo, did Raphtalia get cursed by the dragon or by Naofumi’s cursed series shield?

I feel like the show's already lost its momentum 8 episodes in, this had serious moments with Raphtalia sacrificing her health in a way to calm Naofumi down but somehow even this felt like a waste of time to me with how everything was presented. I actually might apologize for how harsh I was with the comments of the Slime anime while rewatching it since this feels like a bigger waste of time.

For sure that shield power that was shown in this episode will return once again in this anime. But probably Naofumi will manage to control him or lose all control, and it will be at a time with more impact and emotion.

Holy shit the curse shield.

Man I LOL'd so hard when Filo said that wasn't blood but she just threw up the fruits she ate earlier, I had to pause the episode.

After seeing the power of curse shield we can say that shield hero isn't weak, Naofumi just has to gain control over the power of curse shield and he can do offensive damage inducing attacks too.

This episode was pretty enjoyable too. 5/5.


The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.

I guess this generation really gravitates towards characters with darkness, just as we have.
“Why does an apple fall when it is ripe? Is it brought down by the force of gravity? Is it because its stalk withers? Because it is dried by the sun, because it grows too heavy, or because the boy standing under the tree wants to eat it? None of these is the cause.... Every action of theirs, that seems to them an act of their own free will is in the historical sense not free at all but is bound up with the whole course of history and preordained from all eternity.”

I LOVE this anime! What a great find!

Ok, the bird is weird, her appearance detracts from the entire look and feel of the show, if she didn't look like something you'd put in a child's easter basket it would be a great improvement.

Dragon zombie? Cool addition, and the addition of the hate shield was a good item to make the story even more exciting, but defeating the dragon zombie with an easter chick puking fruit juice was a bit too high on the weird scale. 9/10

Even if the dragon is a zombie, Filo was too raw of a chicken to eat lol.
I enjoyed the ep but also think it would've been better if they made the moment he used the curse shield more emotional as it felt quite sudden.

The inability of the shield to do any offensive damage makes the rage upgrade seem a tad pointless. The only thing it can do in that situation is block, even if it's on fire.

Would very much like to see an upgrade of skill for the shield that either reflects damage, or builds up a debuff status on the attacker over time. This is an isekai with at least moderate reference to video game mechanics, and there aren't many defensively orientated classes out there in role-playing games that have zero offensive capability of any kind. Then again, there aren't many classes in games that only let you use a shield and nothing else either, so maybe Naofumi really did get the short end of the stick here.

Wow the curse shield looks cool and strong. I'm just glad enough that Filo was alright to begin with after all that rage Naofumi experiencing against the zombs dragon.

The Rising of the Shield Hero, episode 8.

The team arrives in a town that has been ravaged by disease. Naofumi Iwatani cures the townsfolk but asks for a pretty penny. Raphtalia observes that perhaps Naofumi doesn’t want to be liked, and that’s why he’s being so greedy.

The source of the disease is a dragon that Motoyasu Kitamura killed but didn’t clean up. The dragon’s decomposing corpse is what’s making the people of the town ill. When the team finds the dragon, it reanimates as a zombie. Filo, who hates dragons because of her race, attacks it and gets eaten. This enrages Naofumi, who gives in to his dark side, but he’s brought back by Raphtalia, who is cursed by his darkness. Filo turns out to be alive and defeats the zombie dragon from the inside.

It’s becoming a pattern that Naofumi has to clean up the messes caused by Motoyasu.

What a garbage episode! Can't even describe how badly this episode is written!
There are even logical errors here. Why the fuck can Filo just attack when Naofumi tells her not to?
Did she just forget about her slave seal that would make her suffer for her not listening to his command?
Also why the fuck does Raphtalia just let herself get burned instead of letting Naofumi rage for a bit to defeat the dragon and calm him down afterwards?

Also Filo not dying there was the biggest disappointment in this series! Makes the episode stink of meaninglessness!
Yes the CG was awful but that is honestly the least of my concerns here!

Fuck this trashy episode!
