Shield Hero Season 3 is absolute garbage, it fails in making the main characters interesting and the plethora in side characters that it brings in. Naofumi is in a blank state this season he has absolutly no personality. He occasionally talks about money but meh that's it, his braincells have left him. He left a village full of defenseless children to almost get captured by slave traders. Slaves that he just bought, and he only bought them because they used to be part of Raphtalia's village. Naofumi feels more like a typical isekai mc. Girls will just fawn over him and he acts all confused like wah, "what's she talking about." A young girl goes into his bed to sleep with him at night and he just acts so nan-chalant about it. Season 1 Naofumi would have pushed her out of the bed and scolded her. Where is that Naofumi? The side characters get the bare minimum of personality but they certainly level up way faster than they should have. It goes from night to day with them being very weak skin and bones to combat masters.

I also like to say the three heroes all have the same problem with Bitch. Bitch deceives them, steals they're money, leaves them in debt, and they unlock the curse series. Only to be saved by Naofumi who then takes them into the village to help them. Because he really really really needs them to fight the Pheonix (like the spirit turtle it will wake up soon and cause waves to happen.) The heroes are so flat as characters its not believable in any way that they're this stupid or untalented. It's all to make Naofumi look like a genius but he's just an adult among kindergarteners. With how powerful the side characters and how we see other heroes cross into Naofumi's world and how literal bandits from another world almost kill Naofumi, why do we need the other heroes. Naofumi killed the spirit tortise by himself, yeah it took him awhile but the other heroes didn't help at all. They were literally in the way.

The animation is standard but not nice looking however to its credit it does bring some budget to the fight scenes.

I'm really sad I liked this show and adore season 1 even if it isn't perfect but its not the same nor has it improved anything that was previously holding it back.
