Ren is still kind of a dork, but he has become such a bro to Naofumi, I love it!

What I don't like at all is Rishia's plot, fuck, I like her a lot, even with all her faults I think she is one of the best characters here, she is the only normal human, not a hero or anything, that has actually shown personal and fighting growth, she played such a big part in S2 and keeps training everyday to become better, so the fact she is still in love with such an absolute piece of shit (Itsuki) makes me actually mad omg, that fucker treats her like shit for no reason, brainwashed or not he had literally no reason to be so mean, Naofumi should have punched his face so fkng hard when he stopped him at the door...

btw, did the kids fought in the colosseum or not? Never saw any of that lmao
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~

Bros not trolling it’s honestly the truth, like bro think about it first it was spear getting manipulated, then ren, now bow. The whole controlled by just being told what they want to hear bs is boring as shit. rishia wanting to consolidate within the bow hero makes this even worse. If she wasn’t so love sick for him then maybe it’d be better. Season one Best season, Season two towards the end fights with the other world gas. This season the only fights that have been notable Arena fight vs whale mommy, Sin of greed fight, Emperor dragon fight the entire story lacking this season subpar.

Every heroes in this anime pretty annoying and so stupid, getting influenced by bitch easily but without strong explaination why,

didn't they already got explanation that bitch is not even trustworthy since naofumi incident in season 1 and she got her adventure name "bitch" because of that punishment ??

How come all the heroes other than naofumi can still be fooled by bitch?

Why do they keep repeating the same storyline over and over again?
For goodness sake, this is so dumb and cringe.
Peoples been saying is not that Naofumi was smart, but the others Hero is dumb af and they are absolutely correct.

What kind of author wrote this shit and still making money?

I will laugh if after this arc, the other Heros get sucked into following bitch again.

This might be the poorest story writing regarding a villain I have ever seen.

But I have to give this show some credit, when I thought they wouldn't dare repeat a Season 1 Arc 3 times in this season but then it gets revealed that they have done so, I laughed harder than I had for any Anime this year.

@dabdabgoose yes recycled trash

Looks like Bitch is up to no good once again. This time, she has Itsuki and his party under her little scheming fingers. You can see how possessed Itsuki has become in try to "save" everyone with his matches at multiple arenas.

It was inevitable that Naofumi's group would find out what Itsuki is up to and it felt fitting that they would plan to sort this issue out. More fittingly, it'll be Rishia that will be taking on Itsuki. While I still dislike how he treated Rishia when she used to be in his party, I do hope that Rishia can defeat Itsuki and snap him out of his mindset of thinking that Bitch is helping him.

Maybe after that, they can finally put an end to Bitch's petty deceiving plans once and for all. The sooner that happens, the better! XD

S3 has been meh but not as bad as S2 but boy oh boy they made the heroes look like shit. Absolute dumbass unit. This cycle of Bitch manipulating them is just boring and bad.

Rishia is one of the worst characters and I hate obsessive types like her. Itsuki is the worst of the heroes too so this was probably one of the worst episodes for me. Even Ren seemed like the calm and collected dude who could actually think and he fell for the same tactics as pea brain Motoyasu and now wannabe edgy kid Itsuki.

There are literally no characters other than Naofumi to cheer for and his party is getting too big. The story is also not moving forward and the pace is atrocious.

So we finally meet the Bow hero once again and he's definitely going to get his ass kicked in the next episode. Hopefully with smooth fighting animation like the last episode, because episode 10 has a shoe string budget. I hate bitch not because she's a bad character but because she's such a poorly written character. There is no way no matter how low someone is to be able to trust this woman. Everyone has to have the intelligence of an infant and the memory of an Alzheimer's patient. I also thought Itsuki's party had left him but NO apparently they're in on screwing him over for money too. Like wtf he acted like he they abandoned him and he never wanted to see them again. By far the worst of the trash heroes pity party sad backstory.

Also why did Nafumi bring a bunch of kid's along? What was the point to make money or something. Because haha Naofumi is greedy haha. How pointless its just more characters for the poor animators to draw.
@PurpleMagic it literally explained why the kids tagged along, they want the battle experience. Also, the damage done by the dragon needs to repaired
@Yaggamy still trying to figure out if that was translation, I don't think I actually heard the right conjugation. I'm still willing to bet they've moved that plot, unless there's something plot relevant to it

Itsuki: Rishia, your level is low so we're not gonna let you fight
Also Itsuki: Rishia, you're useless so GTFO

Weird, it's almost like her levels would go up if you actually let her fight, and she wouldn't be useless with higher levels. So weird, can't figure it out at all...

It is both unrealistic and frustrating how Bitch has managed to play like puppets all three heroes except Naofumi despite everything she's done.

It also makes little sense how she already disclosed to two of them that she's been playing them, thus turning them against her and toward Naofumi (the blonde idiot is currently AWOL but I'm sure he'll show up soon).

Only the Bow Hero is currently left in her claws, but he'll see the light soon I guess. Endangering his life on a daily basis to enrich Bitch and his former party members, ostensibly to liberate slaves. And he bought that hook, line and sinker.

Is every hero in this story except Naofumi a complete idiot by design to make Naofumi look smart?

With Naofumi putting Gaelion on pause, despite its feud with Filo about him riding on either one, he decides to pass Melty to her with Raph-chan protecting them, and Ren and his party staying behind to clean up Gaelion's unconscious act. But the word from the hidden underground arena, this "Perfect Hidden Justice" archer moniker can only be the Bow Hero Itsuki, which the recommendation from the old lady is to take Rishia and have her participate in the tournament to get stronger. With Sadeena taking charge, Rishia is having hallucinations that it could be Itsuki, whom both Naofumi and Ren recognize, but Rishia takes the lead since it's been awhile.

Indeed, both Naofumi and Ren have surmised that Bitch a.k.a Malty is now with Itsuki, which trying to change his mind is never going to work. Plus, with enemies that S'yne has alleviated, it's not beneficial to make any moves, all while Itsuki is left to fend for his own after the Spirit Tortoise arc. Rishia wants to fight him as her redemption for being a weakling, and as expected, Itsuki will work for Malty and his current party...to save slaves as well? As expected, the Slave Trader wants to work for Naofumi by capturing Itsuki on his own accord, but knowing things like the Curse series, Rishia has Naofumi and gang at the back of her call.

The hidden match arena between Itsuki and Rishia, this will prove who's justice is correct, once and for all.

This is definitely the English translation. The Japanese version doesn't make any mention of Keel's gender. In addition, the French translation treats Keel as a boy. Same with the Spanish translation. However, the Italian translation is like the English one. There really seems to be some confusion among Crunchyroll translators...

@Dblj123 I understand your opinion, but I think the story has potential to improve. Manipulation can be an interesting narrative element, and Risha's infatuation can be an engine of personal growth for her. The lack of notable combat does not mean that the story lacks emotion or interest, but do not believe that you are the owner of the truth, it is not right, and you should know it.

Let's go Rishia! I do have one question though since I'm an anime only on this one...when they refer to malty as "bitch" and "witch" I get confused since it sounds the same to me both times but is translated differently. Is my hearing bad, am I missing something, far be it from me to doubt the translators but I'd just like to know?

Dang, a dramatic meeting with Itsuki. Makes me wonder if he's got a hold of a curse sin power too. Most likely he does as it's suggested.

The poopy red-haired girl is still being an nuisance as always, she really needs to be put down ngl.

Rishia still fumbling her words is cute lol.

Oh great, Bitch is doing her usual manipulation on the bow hero now and it's working. Rishia seems to be the only one who will be able to snap him out of it this time though.

Not a bad episode overall, and the fight between Rishia and the bow hero should be good. Still not as good as the first season unfortunately, but oh well.

Well know we know why this is the title of the episode…

Before I go off on everything else that transpired in this, I gotta say that Perfect Hidden Justice is beyond CRINGE! Who the f*** thought that was clever and why would Bitch entertain that?! I know she’s manipulating him just like she did Ren and Motoyasu but damn not even I could go through that.

Anyways the beginning of the episode foreshadowed the fact that Itsuki was gonna show up in the episode given how Rishia was thinking back to how she got kicked out of his party and was training with that as her motivation. S’yne is putting in some good work earning some money in the Underground Colosseum and giving it back to Naofumi. I’m not sure why Raphtalia is surprised that Naofumi is completely accepting this given that his circumstances have caused him to value money and what that can do for him. He started from the bottom and now he’s here (Drake reference).

They all meet Itsuki and of course he’s getting manipulated by Bitch (who has her own motives) and she gave him some kind of special bow?!

Now Rishia sees this as an opportunity to save him like he did for her long ago. If it were me, I wouldn’t want to be in his party because he’s a douche, but I’m not looking at this from her perspective of things. What’s gonna happen now, especially considering that Itsuki is now trapped and has no other options.

I’m excited to see this conclude…

My first through when this episode started: "Oh fuck me this bitch Rishia is back, the most uninteresting character who ruined an entire season 2 (among other things)."

Me last thought when the episode was ending:" Oh fuck me hard, they will now stretch this shitty fight against a shit hero and his shit side-kick for two episodes."


Even though this season has been a step up from the shit-show last season, they are just re-hashing the same fucking plot from first season, now for an entire season.

HERO Is depressed >> Gets corrupted >> Curse series >> Gets "saved" by his lover/friend >> Joins the good side.

This is the plot of the first fucking season with Naofumi, and now they have reduced it down to cram all heroes going through same arc in one season. You can REALLY tell how the writer of this anime is just winging it. The first season worked because of an interesting premise, and that was it. The writer had nothing else planned in-case the series continued, and the surprise hit made him just pull things out of his ass, copying other shit-tier anime.

Or maybe the manga that exists, which majority of us will never read, went the same route.

Either way, I was going to rate the third season 6-7/10, but I'm going down to 5 now. MOFO Rishia man, making the rating go down since season 2.

I'm gonna be honest with: I just can't shake off this feeling that I'm just watching this show out of obligation.

Let's face it, Rising of the Shield Hero peaked all the way back in season 1 and right now, any hope for this show to reclam its former glory is gone.

Rishia, one of the very few characters to survive the disaster that was season 2, gets her chance to shine after spending most of season 3 in the sidelines. Unfortunately, Filo and Melty have to be benched because whenever this show takes a step forward, it always takes a step back. If you're a supporting character in the show, you should expect to get one episode, maybe two, to shine and then you will fade into the background.

Still, the premise of hunting down Itsuki is interesting, especially that Malty has come back to torment the Heroes once again. Seriously, Malty is the only remotely interesting antagonist this show has left. She brings up this aura of uneasiness and dread that I haven't felt since season 1. Say what you will about her, but without Malty, we wouldn't have this story in the first place.

Anyway, with only two episodes left, Rising of the Shield Hero must do whatever it takes to deliver a satisfying conclusion. Despite my personal criticisms, I'm interested to see what happens next.

God the people in charge of this series must hate us. Bringing back "bitch" over and over and over again just for some pseudo-incel nonsense plot is absolutely infuriating. I was hoping this season was going to be better than the 2nd one, but after then constant slaps to the face of the viewer this season, I can't help thinking this season was even worse. I'm hovering around a 5/10 for the season.
