| This episode felt like the climatic one for this season, or at least mid-season. Fitoria also returned to join the fight! Tbh, I can't stand the book hero Kyo. He is obnoxious with a massive ego. One of the stand out characters this episode is Rishia would took her stand and fought back against Kyo. Ost was also a champ for helping Naofumi and the others to take care of him. Shame he got away. |

| Naofumi in the Multiverse of Madness. bye bye Ost Horai 😢 In the end, the most useless of all are those 3 heroes. They just brag and can't do anything for their own world. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
Fitoria is finally here! This EP is actually better than other episodes of this season so far. |

| And with this we actually finish the turtle arc, it was really fast at the start of the season i believed this arc would last the 13 episodes. No OP this week, only the song at the climax of the episode and also no ending. Halfway of the season, and one arc over, we probably will get to finish the next arc |

DoubleR said: Well that was a load of BS loaded into one episode. The episode was alright, but felt typical/cliché. The villian was awful with his speech. Rishia as a character wasn't that beliveable, I thought she may aid at battle since she literally didn't have any fights to begin with, but suddenly she is the only one capable of opposing the villian for some reason.. Ost dying, I wasn't sold on her character as well from the beginning, so if her death suppose to be emotional, for me it isn't. The fighting was good, but I feel like it could have been much more interesting if Naofumi used different types of shields etc, instead of everyone just doing their signature attacks. There wasn't really any depth in it. Overall the episode was solid for a standard anime, but from Shield Hero I expected more after a great season 1. You have your expectations as much almost everyone who is an anime only way to high. Those who read both the books and manga knew this was not going to be same level as this was and most still consider it the weakest arc in the series. Well besides that, this episode was still great when compared to almost all the other episodes. Kevin (made in abyss composter) killed it with the soundtrack this episode. The Animation quality improved a lot even the ST was 2d animated in its scenes this time. And the action sequences were killer. Rishia finally had her moment and it was well portrayed, Kyo is still the ever piece of shithead and over the top as ever and i justlove his antics, now the real good arc can finally begin with next weeks episode and it should be a wild ride. |
| Woah, some out of world development for Rishia there, and for real she felt like a different person. Atleast for once she wasn't behaving the way she usually used to, so thank god i guess. Animation felt good, with that shield transforming scene being the highlight, though it didn't go well for Ost, sacrificing herself for the good. Anyways was the first good episode of this season. |
 |
| Animation was actually decent this week, a solid episode to end the spirit tortoise arc and now we’re onto the other world arc which means second best girl will be showing up next week. Rishia been getting a lot of slander this season and she finally gets her moment to shine, but anime onlies won’t even really appreciate it because all of her characterisation and training has been butchered by the anime. This moment in the book was supposed to give you goosebumps at how far Rishia has come. OST’s death was also more emotional in the LN, given how bad the adaption is.. shouldn’t be a surprise Shield hero anime is beyond saving, but praying they don’t butcher this next arc at least. |
 |
| Did I just witness a record breaking rate of ass pulls per minute? |
| This episode was embarrassing. Ivyred, Rishia to some extent can now fight, and until this episode she was just crying for the bow hero. Poor thing, does she become strong from an emotion? Shame on you. I don't understand why they are in such a hurry to adapt so much. They better not do season 2 now and do it in a year or two. They were seriously fooled into adapting. |
| That was quite literally painful to watch. |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| "Invading of another world, now permitted" What is this Elden Ring PvP? Well, I guess that was the tortoise arc end. It was much better than the previous episode for sure, despite the You may have outsmarted me, but I outsmarted your outsmarting moments. |
 |
| Finally, we are out of turtle arc, seems like things will finally be more intresting. |
| Well damn. This episode certainly was an improvement from all the others of this season. No OP or ED either. Rishia's moment to shine was great, it wasn't fully explained how she was so OP suddenly but well I liked it, she was badass this whole episode. I just didn't understand why Naofumi didn't feel rage, I mean he has several reasons to feel angry towards the spectacled dude, right? This didn't sit right with me, just felt too convenient to me, it seemed like just because they wanted to have a reason for Naofumi to use his new spirit tortoise shied, they suddenly showed him being not angry, rest was ok. Ost is for sure dead now, she was nice, wouldn't have minded more of her. Overall, 5/5 episode. This is the first episode of this season that made me lost track of time, didn't realise when 20 minutes were over. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Rishia was impressively good, that was nice to conclude the Reiki's arc, RIP Ost. Well seems like they're up to that other world part now, I suppose it will be interesting |
 |
| - good fight - imo amazing ost - slighlty better animation (but they still can do a loooot better) - BUT armor plot made of scenarium Overall ok-tier ep, best of this season for now, but still not the best they could do. |

While I find the new shield bullshit, the cursed shield didn't work not because he didn't hate the guy, but because he didn't hate Ost (he was about to use the cursed shield to destroy the core, but when he knew he didn't want to do that, he couldn't anymore) |
| It's time to face both the Book Vassal Hero Kyo, and tear down Ost Hourai herself as the Spirit Tortoise's vessal, not forgetting that the 3 useless Cardinal Heroes do nothing to this series than wack shit and be hostages in this case. Fitoria has come for aid, as do the L'Arc and the other Vassal Heroes, but Kyo is just too powerful with the Spirit Tortoise's aid for power. But of all the people to stand against him, Rishia being the sole saviour in the spirit of vengeance, and Ost imparting the Spirit Tortoise's power to Naofumi to make specialized power before her death, I'd guess this is Anego Yusaki's way of ultimate redemption for Rishia's character being the hidden trump card for the Spirit Tortoise arc. In the end, Naofumi still has to finish Kyo's liar game by killing Ost Hourai altogether with the new impartation of the special Spirit Tortoise Heart Shield, and going out to another world of unknowns where Kyo will continue take center stage as the villain, and Naofumi and gang, and other Vassal Heroes will continue to chase him down. Definitely a huge improvement considering that this episode concludes the much maligned Spirit Tortoise arc that the majority hated, and now we can move on to the good stuff. |

| Too much developments in one episode made it like everything was happening on its own, and there was a lot of plot armour which I dont think was. Things were kind of cliche.. . Still the best episode so far in the season. 3/5 |
| Damn, that was quite the pleasing step up in animation! It's a pity that the villain managed to slip away like that though, I feel like the Wind Hero from the other world could've intervened there but then we wouldn't be having the following arc so it is what it is, I suppose. Fitoria making an entrance was great for the world's sake, it was almost checkmate before she arrived. It was a touching scene to see her send her regards to the Turtle after its demise, they're sort of similar in the sense that they possess monstrous strength but mean to use it for the best of the world in their own ways. Likewise, Ost Hourai's final moments were moving too, good on her for forcing those spells to activate, Naofumi wouldn't have been able to make it in time otherwise. Gotta give this episode to Rishia, however. Who'd have thought she'd be dominating the game like this out of the blue! Literal 360 degrees. All in all, despite this episode, the arc has been poor and here's to hoping the next will make up for it. It was just too rapid and I couldn't care for some of the earlier developments... |

| Looks like they ran out of time. Figures that the energy source for the tortoise is the three idiots. Its nice to see Fitoria again. And my she's damm powerful oh right. Never thought we get to see Rishia enter the spotlight though but damm thats some determination she has there. Its unreal seeing Rishia face down someone that Naofumi and couldn't even get near. Away from the heart that was a nice save from the queen that enabled Fitoria to do some real damage on the tortoise. The new spirit tortoise shield though while less of a shield and more of a weapon system looked damm cool. Too bad that by destroying the heart Ost's life is also forfeit. RIP Ost to the very end she was a hero who fought her hardest to put a stop to the machinations of Kyo. Overall i really liked this ep and felt that i liked this version of Ost better than the LN version. While the arc did streamline the arc this did ensure that we understood the events that led to this point without being sidetracked. Looking forward to seeing the next arc which is the one that i want to see the most. |

| Yeah, way too much stuff cramped into these episodes. Not sure if the next arc will be able to save this season. I don't feel like picking up the LN, but at this rate the manga might be a good option. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| While the cliches were a bit overused here, at least this episode had a good step up in the animation department. =) With the arrival of Fitoria to protect the army while battling the spirit tortoise, Kyo then unleashed the gravity powers and proceeded to act all high and mighty like the scum that he is. However, it was nice to see Rishia stepping up and took him on, making him look like a joke in the process. Ost did the right thing in overriding Naofumi's shield to take out the core, even if he was vocally against it. Sadly, Kyo was able to take his sample and used a portal to escape, with L'arc's team in hot pursuit. Once again, Ost used the last of her powers to grant Naofumi's party special permission to go through the portal and into the world that L'arc and the others come from. Hopefully this time, they can take out Kyo once and for all. Overall, this is definitely one of the better episodes of this season. Not great, but it's a good step in the right direction. |
| Undoubtedly the best episode of the season so far, but not without a lot of plot armour as well. The highlight of episode has to be the music, and props to Kevin Penkin for his great work. In a way this episode felt like Demon Slayer but just without Ufotable. Still can't get over how weird the turtle looked, and with this arc done, maybe better things are ahead? |
| They totally downgraded the Spirit Tortoise vs Fitoria fight! Originally the Tortoise had three heads. Fitoria was way bigger and used her Vassal Weapon, Carriage, which is basically a tank for her. For those wondering about the next arc: |
| why cant this worlds heros go another world but the other world's heros can come to this world ??? i am confused |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------- Just watch what you may like. Don't watch it and don't make bad comment about it. Every anime wants to be praised. -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
sba said: why cant this worlds heros go another world but the other world's heros can come to this world ??? i am confused Naofumi is a Cardinal Hero normally they are in charge to protect their worlds so they cant leave it, as already mentioned the vassal heroes can hence they can travel freely. But he got an exception thx to ost power before she died. |
| Whoa, this was so awesome. Anime of the season probably. Very good writing; everything makes so much sense. Really epic fight scenes too. This is probably the best fight scenes that I have ever seened in anime befores. Ost is gone now, that's really sad. Shield Hero won't be the same without the best character ever Ost. How is this anime so good? It has the best animation ever seen and is so emotional. 10/10 anime, but actually more like 11/10 I think, maybe 100/10. |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| as expected of the useless trio |
| The annoying girl gets the spotlight fighting the most annoying bad guy author could've written AND he runs away instead of just getting killed. Other 3 heroes are useless to the point of it being a meme. Everyone cries after a character who barely joined them. Honestly, I'd drop at this point if not that portal. I'm somewhat interested in that other world... and hope for more Glass lol. |
| The rishia "moment" lacked something critical... deep internal katharsis -> determination & then badassery |
 |
| I don't understand what's happening anymore lol. |
| Fu me side ways. I'm in full squeeeeeeeee mode!!! That was epic. And for anyone who might of come across one of many many rants might know I love an epic awakening, and I got!!!. After beasting some trolls complaining the green haired girl was the worst thing about the season in earlier episodes, I was like gentle people, she has only started on her journey and the shield hero has chosen her. And damn did that resonate just now. Now that was an awakening. I'd go so far as to say hers trumped even the shield heros turtle shield seeing as they spoiled us with two awakenings in one show. Love it. And I love how mad its got now that they have ported to another world. Shit is hitting the fan and people keep throwing more shit at it!! love it!!!! |
