They haven't changed at all lol. I was hoping at least one of the heroes would apologize but nope, they didn't. That could've been good character development for them.

Yawn. A boring filler episode. Now that the main justice porn arc is completed, there really is nothing left to the story. So the result is just more forced, contrived drivel.

Obviously we're going to ignore 20 episodes of character "development"; Naofumi still plans to go home to his loser shut-in life, even though his name has been cleared, he has multiple hot waifus after his D, and he is one of the most powerful fuckers in the land.

Meanwhile, more plot contrivance; the other heroes know about some XP booster event, even though past experience suggests that they should be the last people with such knowledge. But no, now that the false rape justice porn is over with, new ways need to be found to make it look like the MC is being "persecuted". In other words, the other heroes need to be as condescending and dickish as possible to maintain the audience revenge boner an an acceptable level of tumescence. Because how else are they going to keep people interested in this garbage heap of a series?

Of course, no episode would be complete without validating the MC, as befits any proper self-insert. And the queen delivers, informing everyone that all the heroes will die in the next wave if they don't work together - except Naofumi, of course. Never mind that this makes no sense if the only way for the heroes to survive is by working together. Self-insert plot armor takes precedent over logic.

In short, the shallow, pathetic formula of this anime was laid bare in this episode, more than it has been at any prior point in the series.

  • Make the supporting cast as retarded and infuriating as possible to get the audience fired up.
  • Subject the self-insert MC to some kind of persecution at the hands of said supporting cast to get the audience even angrier.
  • Turn the tables and have some authority figure step in to chasten the supporting cast and validate the MC, emptying the audience justice blue-balls in dramatic fashion.
  • Rinse and repeat.

This anime is nothing more than justice porn in an endless loop. There's no meaningful plot, no character growth, no originality. Ultimately, the plot nitpicks I made above don't even matter in the face of how creatively bankrupt the underlying narrative really is.

Just a set-up really, with little of note that we didn't already know (namely that the other Heroes are still idiots and won't get along so easily).

Not a bad episode.

Honestly, the other heroes are just useless.

At least Raphtalia and Filo were able to get a class upgrade.

Remember kids: The other heroes appear as bad as they do because someone had written them as such. Arguing whether the story is developing in accordance with common sense and logic would take A LOT of time.

Seems like Naofumi's attitude kinda rubbed off on Raphtalia during that party xD

And yea, the other three heroes are still fucking absurd. Like, geezus, my niggas, how dat fuck was Naofumi supposed to automatically know the shit you just shared with him back then....considering all that harsh experience and treatment he went through early on. Like, does common sense still mean nothing to you??

This episode was a lot better than the last 10 episodes. They got class upgrades. The plot finally seems to be moving in a new direction. We got to know more about some of the mechanics of the weapon system. I got invested in the episode after a long time.

But they just don't want to leave out Malty for one episode do they? I was saying in the last episode that they should have put her in jail. I cringe everytime I see her.

The three heroes are carbon copies of each other. They always stay together, do the same things, act in the same manner. It is just that Motoyasu is a little worse than the others. It would have been much better if those three acted differently for their own motivations.

I've found that since the winter season I have begun to enjoy Slice of Life shows much more so I quite enjoyed the comedic and light tone of this episode. I enjoyed the fight scene in the dining hall a lot. Raphtalia proteccing Naofumi is great. The Queen getting all... flustered after hearing about Fitoria was funny too. Some interesting behind the scenes stuff happened here too. Someone on Reddit outlined the behind the scenes shit from this episode. Shit the anime didn't have time to get into. May contain spoilers for the light novel, I dunno. All in all, I thought this was a good episode. Not bad at all.

Mirellia's reaction to Melty's tales of Fitoria sure was unexpectedly cute. The level up event though sure was a nice bit of news. Though each of the hero's are strong if they don't get stronger the later waves will sure be the end of them. The queen using that to try and forge unity between the hero's was a excellent move. Though the meeting/party ended up going pear shaped at least Naofumi's newly gained knowledge proved useful especially weapon copy. Raphtalia's visit to her village to pay her respects to her friend sure was a powerful scene that matched well with the OST there. Overall an excellent ep that did well in showing not just how much the country has changed but also how Naofumi himself has both in personality and attitude. While the visit to her home was a powerful scene i felt that this scene served well to show how determined Raphtalia is to continue to serve Naofumi while helping provide her with the confidence she needed to confront her deepest fear. Im quite curious about this new event though and can't wait to see how it goes.

Not really, he was shown in the openings and if we go by the pattern with the weapons, it's just putting two and two together. Also, I already mentioned this way back in episode 14, before I had read the wiki.

Motoyasu is still an idiot as ever! How can he still believe in Malty after all she's done to the Shield Hero?? He is blind as hell! Wake up!!

Slut never learns, does she? It's a good thing that she was caught in the act while poisoning the pie Naofumi and his party was going to eat -_-; Way to go princess, stop your sister's foolishness!

It was an ok episode, was expecting more to be honest ^^; can't wait for more next week! :3 The scene with the shields was very funny XD

So that was amusing. The fangirling of the Queen was the highlight of the episode tbh. Anyways we got 2 eps left. Either it's gonna be rushed to all hell considering the arc to come, or we are gonna get a to be continued type thing which may lead into a potential second season. Honestly I'm expected a rushed ending to this series and no second season ever.

UPDATE: The 1-hour special was not counted as multiple episodes in the home release. I'll share more information as soon as it becomes available.

"Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari" (The Rising of the Shield Hero) episode #24 is flagged as the final broadcast episode on multiple stations. Kinema Citrus is animating the series.
source livechart


I'm a little confuse....so we have two more episodes with the last one being an 1 hour special?
I'm asking this because Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san it goes on air just after the hero shield and the last episode is June 27th, so to get an 1 hour special you need another time slot.

Told you the whore would come back to cause more harm. Could've subjected her to torture, publicly broadcasted for further humiliation, then killed. Slowly.

But no, better to have the thot around. After all this ruckus...I don't expect her to be killed this time around, the show had had its chance.

Why didn't they queen throw Bitch and Trash in a cell,that would make more sense...

Or maybe just do not let them enter the castle, since there are no longer nobles (If I understood right, not just the name changed, but their titles were disposed)

I'm having one doubt about the class upgrade. Since Raphtalia and Filo didn't get a new class, will they learn anything else? At least they don't have the level 40 cap anymore.

Gotta admit loved the episode but the story felt void after all that harsh fight those three retards don't get together, and Myne is just using her stupid ways to harm naofumi.

The animation and angles were almost perfect especially at the beginning of the episode, and that ost at the end would love to know its name if someone share it with us.

Really liked this episode as a bridge between the two arcs with a piece of mind set in for Naofumi. One thing I had a problem was the round table meeting with the adaptation from the LN But....... Kinema Citrus has kinda shifted gears to focus on the Archipelago (which is what I'd do with the time left in the episode count).

Every time i think those three bakas are finally turning a corner they do something stupid again... i totally agree with Naofumi; they are a lost cause! I feel so sorry for him that he has to spend an extended amount of time stuck on a ship with them!

I also feel sorry for Elhart (the blacksmith) too... just openly being robbed by Naofumi, Raph and Filo haha

Not a bad episode. My personal "highlights" : the Queen's reaction when Melty told her she met Fitoria (quite priceless, that was surprisingly if we refer to her attitude last 2 episodes eheh) & the introduction of Lark & his friend (very quick but since he appears in the OP 2, I guess he'll earn his part through the show).

Other heroes fighting like kids again, with such a condescendant attitude (except for Ren, he was quiet as usual). Funny to see that the Kingdom actually adopted & applies the new rule claiming Malty/Myne = Bitch/Slut.

@FMmatron , maybe he is a hero within his own realm? Like he does not belong to Four Cardinal Heroes and he cannot be called as "Cardinal Hero", but he is a hero in that fantasy world who chose that kind of way of life and/or people started calling him as "a hero"?

I haven't watched this episode yet and I'm an anime-only viewer, though after reading posts about that


Ayy, so can I expect Axe, Mace or Crossbow heroes to appear as well? xD

I guess Bitch hasn't learned her lesson, what a troublesome trash!

In my view those four heroes suck, Naofumi and Motoyasu are the worst. The only better one is the sword hero, he was the one that gave Naofumi the benefit of a doubt than others. There was a time when I felt pity and cheers for Naofumi and his party, but now the bastard is arrogant and acts so big that I think he deserves to be cast away. I'm going to come out and say I Hate him, plain and simple. This series ain't ending soon enough, these next last episodes should come already so I can say good riddance 'Stinky'.

It was pretty hilarious to see the queen fangirling over Fitoria and just as hilarious to see how they have to call Myne Bitch and Slut... but on the other hand, it's pretty stupid that My—Slut can still be around doing her shitty things.

Poor girl xD



It was also amusing how Naofumi copied one of the blacksmith's shields and then Raphtalia and Filo all excited began to bring him shields.

I remember the conference where they talk about their abilities happening during the training in the archipelago. Maybe I'm misremembering it.

The red haired dude and the blue haired girl never show up in the WN so I'm assuming they are LN/manga exclusive. I like their designs and they are voiced by Saori Hayami and Jun Fukuyama which is good civilization, so I approve. XD

Best scene of the episode was the one near the end with Naofumi, Raphtalia and Filo. :)

God are the other heroes still going to be totally incompetent? I thought we might actually get some reasoning to why Naofumi is so much stronger despite being lower leveled. They'd be like "this is how we've been training" and Naofumi would be like "aha, that's why you're all so weak" or some bs, but naaah they just bitching and moaning some more.

And omg fucking bitch/slut like??? I was totally okay with her not being killed last episode under the assumption that she's basically written out of the story. But then they go and have her back to her old ways. Like what is with this writing man.

At least the new character seems decent. Wonder how long that will last.
