| Kizuna knows her dress styles with her giving Raphtalia makeovers. It turns out, this finale was pretty lighthearted with characters reminisicing their adventures. Looks like we got to know more about Yomogi as well. It's too bad Kyo turned out to be such as an ass cause she apparently enjoyed being friends with him. I thought episode was cute but eh, could've fit more as an OVA. Season 2 ends but journey is far from over! |
 |
| So the final episode of Season 2...is pretty much a filler episode after what is supposed to be the actual finale to give a close to seasonal events post-finale. Naofumi and gang finally having a moment of rest, with Kizuna dressing the girls up and Naofumi being the dense one for good reason. Filo trying to fly with the carriage behind her, and it's hard because she isn't in their original world. Kizuna's time in the Infinite Labyrinth certainly is the same how Naofumi and gang first entered and wanting to find a way out...but being more relaxed, learning of its properties, and eating the same variety of food that's available with more experimentation, before their eventual arrival. It's the same for Yomogi whom tried to remember her young and good times with Kyo before he went all berserk, he was her world that she had admired him for all his work. Going back to the girls' talk about mating and such, it definitely feels weird telling the same thing to people that they interpret differently, but it's for Ost Hourai's remembrance, her soul sealed to the Spirit Tortoise in recollection. The haphazard Season 2 has seen its shares of ups and downs, and this was a tumultuous ride. Here's hoping that Season 3 will be better, even if it's by a short mile. |

| You know the production committee themselves wanted to fail this season so badly that they even went as far as giving us One-hundred ways to make Naofumi fall to Kizuna’s trick of solo camping over those many years as a final episode. I mean why… y’all should’ve concluded this season in that penultimate episode itself. Maybe would’ve taken this episode as a decent conclusion if it wasn’t for those constant 20 odd disappointing minutes over the course of the last 12 weeks. And to think this season was so highly anticipated. |
| The last episode of the season was the fan-service masterpiece that was episode 13. Just seeing them in a swimsuit is enough for me, 10/10  |
 |
| Well thank God this is over. I can’t believe I waited 3 years just for this adaptation. I really don’t have high hopes for season 3, but it surely can’t be worse than this. The last few eps were DECENT, but still couldn’t save this. Just wanna see Atla animated now. |
 |
| so it's not a recap episode but stuff they cut out from those episodes and they combine it into this story time episode as the Season Finale Episode? what a briliant idea, this is a revolutionary move... lmao what are the production committee smoking when they planned this? once again 5/10 average at best idk how i feel now about Season 3, most fans already dissapointing. |

| Kizuna went somewhat insane that she ended up creating her own Wilson. This episode feels like it would have fit better as an OVA, rather than the final episode of the second series. I kind of hope that Filo finds a way for her to be able to fly as a filolial. Onwards to series 3! |
| The line below is True. The line above is False. |
| So we got a proper epilogue episode to end this season. The girls looked cute in swimsuit. Felt bad for Kizuna but glad she was able to endure it. Also once again, RIP Ost. She was a great woman. This season was okay but hopefully s3 will be better. Looking forward to it. |
 |
| Man I just can't get over how cute Raph-chan is with it's cute little Raph noises. And look at smol Raphtalia all dressed up, so cute.  But Kizuna calling Naofumi a lolicon lmao. Bro look at Raph-chan joining his smol little hands together AAAA so cute Bruh who taught Filo the concept of mating. Pretty good episode overall, a lot better than previous episodes. 5/5. This had the ending season feels too, liked it. Hoping Season 3 is at least better than this season. Those illustratiosn would make for good wallpapers but the illustrator watermark ruins it. 7/10 overall because of my emotional attachment to this anime and it's characters which was possible due to Season 1, otherwise I wouldn't rate this more than 5. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Ep 13 felt more like an OVA or optional special episode. Purely side story. At least for me the real finale was episode 12. All in all quite a letdown season 2. Most of the time the story felt rushed and just not that interesting. But since hearing from LN readers that this content wasn't too great in the LN either, i hope that future Seasons become better again. S3 seems to air in fall this year already. Nice. 6/10 |
I'm not reading any replies or comments directed at me at all. I know my truth and if you disagree: that's fine but i couldn't give a damn about :) |
| Loved the Ost flashback en route to her "grave", the epilogue vibes were real But the clothes shop scene felt too forced of a fanservice. Kizuna's first moments trapped in the Labyrinth was much needed but in the finale? ehhhh |
| Finally this garbage is over, only Tomodachi Game was worse this season, well done Shield Hero. 3/10. |
| I'm honestly just lost for fucking words. This whole season was rushed as hell and they wasted their thirteenth episode on filler flashbacks instead of pacing the rest of the season better. If they wanted to make them laying flowers at Ost's grave impactful, they could at least make the other two flashbacks about her. But this show is just juggling far too many characters, so none of them leave a lasting impression. This season was only bearable because I watched 1 episode a week, no way I would force myself to binge it. Will probably be skipping out on a third season unless it gets positive reviews. |
| I wonder why we were getting these flashbacks? Why didn't they just merge those scenes somewhere in the first 4 episodes. Or the one with Kizuna's when she escaped the labyrinth? Regardless, the content wasn't bad at all. |
 |
| Ohm... errr... hmm... so the final episode is just like a fanservice OVA? Kizuna's story was good tho but the whole everyone wants to fuck Naofumi is just what the hell man... Filo? Really? FILO? |
 |
| I'm... disappointed, and I just hope that Season 3 gets the time and animation and energy that it truly deserves to shine. This really felt more like an OVA than a proper season ending, and honestly, to me, it just continued to show how much of a mess this season was... There really was no impact to leaving flowers for Ost because I didn't really care about her (because the show didn't give me the time to care about her), so maybe this episode was different for some of you? Still, I did like the fanservice time the party spent just talking and reminiscing, it reminded me of Season 1 in a lot of ways. I really missed when they spent time on showing the journey, instead of teleporting the party from place to place in service of the plot. Also, Raphtalia too precious. Learning more about Kizuna's time in the labyrinth was great (she's so sweet), and again, it just makes me wish we had had more time to spend on things like that, while just being able to go more in depth with the plot as well. This really just felt like stuff that should have been interspersed throughout a longer season, slapped together just to be able to call it a "finale". Again, it just felt like we were speeding from point to point to get the episode (and the season-) over with. I know I sound like a broken record by now, but god this season was just so rushed- the animation quality, the story, and the character moments were all such a huge drop in quality from Season 1. I'm literally begging for a decent 25-episode Season 3, but I won't hold my breath. I don't know who decided to cram all of this into 13 episodes, but Season 2 clearly suffered on so many levels for it; it's really unfortunate. Tate no Yuusha really deserves better than this. |
  I'm me! The choices I've made are mine! I don't need your permission to be myself! ✧✧✧✧✧✧ profile ✧ watching ✧ reading ✧ art credit |
| does it count that I finished the season if I fastforwarded most of it? I'm not sure if it belongs with 'completed' or with 'dropped' |
| Am I a good person? No. But do I try to be better every single day? Also no |
| Wait is it just a filler? can I skip it then? |
 |
| So the final episode was more like an OVA filled with "deleted scenes", I enjoyed it, I imagine they thought it would ruin the pacing and tone of the other episode and made the right call and thankfully we didn't miss that hot fanservice with the swimsuits or the Wilson bit lol. I'm going to miss Kizuna, it is not a coincidence the OP is called Bring Back #bringbackkizunaforseason3please |
| What a horrible choice for the finale. I dropped the manga during the events of this season (the turtle crap burned me out) but it was infinitely better than this adaptation. I'm done with shield hero. |
| Quality Queen. |
| A recollection of memories from this season's events. She had a ball...and I just shouted "Wilson!" in my mind when I saw it even though I haven't seen Cast Away in it's entirety yet. Just 6/10 for me. IMHO the Tortoise Arc was terrible, the Other World was just a bit better. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Ah, so there really was an episode 13 afterall. And while it was all just recollections of previously unseen past events from the season, at least it wasn't literally just reused clips like I thought it might be. Still, I question the need for this episode when the time it took might have been better spent during that lackluster final battle. If the intent was to end the season at Ost's grave they still could have done that while making that fight better. Oh well, my thoughts remain more or less unchanged from what I wrote in the episode 12 thread. 6/10 Oh, and Tom Hanks and the Cast Away people need to sue or something. XD |
| Kizuna has been one of my favorite characters this season. She really had Naofumi figured out huh? Dense as a rock and a lolicon? I mean…accurate lol. Kind of, anyways. I liked that we got to see what life was like for Kizuna on the island. I think she would enjoy solo camping a little more with a cup of curry noodles lol. Anyways, I could kind of relate to her feelings of desperation while being trapped on that island, having just lived through a couple months in pretty harsh lockdown conditions recently. I never contemplated suicide, but there were days when things kind of got bleak. Well, at least for her she had Wilson to keep her company lol. I’m glad ultimately she made it through. She’s got a strong mind, that one. Raphtalia can really be quite innocent, it’s pretty adorable. Wasn’t expecting her to ask Ost about the birds and the bees haha. You see Raphtalia, when a man loves a woman… lol. Seeing Rishia’s face during that whole exchange was pretty hilarious! I didn’t think Filo would be so quick to get it though. Clever girl! Lol. That whole bit was also a nice moment to remember Ost by. I liked her too. All in all, I enjoyed this season. I might be one of the only few people that didn’t mind the Spirit Tortoise arc. It wasn’t phenomenal and it was pretty slow paced but ultimately I didn’t mind it. This was a nice little filler ep before the new season. Looking forward to what new adventures await the gang. |
| What a beautiful view. Looks like Filo's still trying to get used to being back in her old form lol. Its an unusual way of addressing flashbacks but using their memories of happier times after resolving the crisis is a creative move. The dressing up sure was fun. But the insight into Kizuna's days within the labyrinth sure was insightful. Trapped in such a place must have been daunting. Before going off the rails im sure Kyo was a decent person. Ost's advice was so damm funny. The bringing of flowers to Osts final resting place was a nice moment to reflect on how much she helped them until the end. Remembering all the fun times they had with their friends as well as remembering those that gave their lives to help you achieve victory is the highest honor you can bestow upon them. Overall an excellent end to the season that focused on remembering all those that have helped you get so far. Ost's spirit turning up to give a final farewell was a nice touch. |

| Phew, it's over. Wow, what a trainwreck. Very unnecessary episode today, but honestly, this filler episode was better than some of the others this season. And LOL, Kizuna on the island with the ball and the campfire is such a huge Cast Away reference! |
| Damn people warned me that the S2 was going to be way worse and they weren't lying. The first half of this season is bad and then it gets better in the second half but not that much. 5/10 |

| Studio staff member #1: Ok, people. We need a flashback for Ost's grave scene. Any ideas? Studio staff member #2: We could make one where we remind the viewers that she was a concubine who seduced men. She also held sex ed class for the girls in Naofumi's group. Studio staff member #1: Great idea, we'll go with that. That's the perfect memory for a funeral! |
| just a filler time waste of an episode hopefully we get a release date for s3 soon |
 |
| The final episode was mainly a nice recollection of stories being reminisced on which were amusing. The first part with Kizuna helping Naofumi's group getting new clothing ended up with them wearing many things Since Kizuna noticed how much smol Raphtalia was looking at Naofumi while in the shop. Hearing her say that Naofumi was a lolicon made me laugh, though. XD The clothes that the girls tried out was pretty nice, although having the three of them wearing bikinis was an obvious highlight for me, with Kizuna especially looking rather stunning in her black bikini while pulling a seductive pose. =3 Speaking of Kizuna, we finally got to see how she had to live by herself when she was first thrown into the labyrinth. She handled it well at first, but being alone for so long without knowing a way out drove her a bit mad, almost to the point of hanging herself. Thankfully, she dug deep and held on, which did pay off for her when Naofumi's group arrived and the rest, as we know, was history. Kizuna was the character I liked and enjoyed the most from this season and I do hope we'll get to see her again someday. ^_^ We also got a short recollection of Ost telling Raphtalia about what it means to be intimate, which Filo understood the meaning better than Raphtalia, which made for some good laughs. It was also a nice to have Naofumi's group head to the location overlooking where the spirit tortoise was killed and used it to through a bouquet of flowers in memory of Ost, which was rather sweet. Overall, season 2 of Shield Hero gave me that sense of deja vu that A Certain Magical Index S3, in where the pacing was rushed too often and the production values were all over the place. That's why I'll settle for the same score I gave to Index S3, a 6/10. It was decent, but it could've been better at the same time. Here's hoping that Shield Hero S3 gets things back on track for the franchise. =) |
| why is this episode even there? was it necessary??? even so, can't it have been an ova or special? WHY JUST WHY? |
| this episode is more an OVA than an episode. Not really important but it surprise me. An episode with nothing special, just some details we got from Kizuna where she was alone but not something important. Curious to see what we will have in the 3rd season |
| Completely unnecessary episode for the series, should have just been a special or something. |
