I like your explanation best.

best explanation and it worked for him.

Kinda contradictory too since they just shit on everyone (most Naofumi) else weapon,despite believing that theirs is balance. Why wouldn't everyone else be too?

When the isekai manga/light novel reader went isekai, they would be OP af

@@thatjeff7550 also for some reason, the shield is the only one of the four that doesnt have a trace of gold on it in its base form

Well Yes, but actually yes

Technically he didn’t have the resources to try motoyasu’s method

Plus the method he used from the beginning, feeding his shield items and unlocking skills that way.

@@demonhunterx7094 Isn't that what they all did?

@@EldritchNamer From what I gather, Naofumi was the only one to unlock skills from feeding monster parta to his weapon. Ren leveled his up, Pedo upgraded his skyrim style, and Itsuki mearlly used the rarist varient of his. I don't think the 3 stooges said anything about unlocking skills by feeding monster parta to thier weapons. Then again, it's been awhile since i saw shield hero, so i may not remember it. Sorry in advance if this info turns out to be false/confusing.

it's not a joke

Who's malty? I see a golem, a dragon, and a bitch. I don't think any of them are named malty.

@@Zero-ef4sc Bitch Shield unlocked, the only one with negative defense

Bitch if I may say, is the worst monster of them all, not only is she manipulative, and ruthless in her tactics of getting whatever she desires, she is also determined to ensure anyone or anything in her path is destroyed She is the real final boss people

but sadly then you salvage her body parts you get awfuly bad shield...

No it’s bitch/whore

@@kaibean8046 no it s a being that must not existe

Zidane Didi What’s the difference?

Kai Bean all thots must be eliminated

@@kaibean8046 a monster can be taimed or regain its humainty but that thing is beyond repair

Reminds me of One-Punch man when Saitama tells his followers exactly how he got that strong and they all think he's lying because it just sounds so stupid that what he did would work.

@@Nyghtking kinda but in naofumi's case he had to do low level grunt grinding type stuff basically working on the basics but this man's saitama does less intense workouts than me in the military and has godlike powers lol

@@Nyghtking Except that Saitama’s workout is pretty basic, and does not even remotely explain how he actually became so powerful. That was the joke.

@@Nyghtking It’s because for them it wouldn’t work. Saitama was so weak that these exercises were all it took for him to break his limiter. The other heroes could do these easily.

@@LAM1895 actually I think you have it backwards. Saitama beat his first monster before he started training. While he became the strongest through hard work he was already stronger than most to begin with. His single minded relentless training is both the cause and result of him being strong.

🤣🤣🤣

I don’t get it Nvm I’m mentally retarded

AsturicaX nope I’m retarded too I don’t understand

@@VioletMilks He put Malty there

Yes

Cu Chuclainn: why for some reason do I feel slighted?

And the shield adopts sad children.

And Naofumi has to endure

Shield cause he blocks his own...uhm you know...

@Mark Jayson H. elemento its because he's depressed, after being transferred this gets worst until he meets rapthalia wouldn't ya know it, depression tends to cause numbing, specially pain numbing, and to want to avoid or shield yourself from others, sorta ironic

at wave 2(or the first wave for legendary heroes) they actually ended up as being useful,they actually slayed boss and canceled wave

No all 3 do actually become useful and on par with Naofumi in terms of power. It's just after a long time and a lot of mental damage.

@@yourethatmantis5178 I was because of the mental Damage of the 4 heroes that Naofumi was the most usefull in Wave 3 (wave 2 for the legendary heroes)

@Damn Son yet he still lose to him.

Lord Aizen when will we release the MYNE

If only they had worked together at the very start.

anttibra yeah Glass would have been shattered when her and the heros fought

@@SupernaturalDetective It's mentioned at one point that glass was significantly stronger the second time she came than the first. Even then she was going semi-even with naofumi's party the second time

MasterStylez yeah but Imagine if the other 3 hero had naofumi’s level of power glass would have had to pull out all the stops to kill them and with how much trouble 1 hero was giving her four working together would have destroyed her

Keep in mind they all work in tandem for all of them all they need to do is realise they can all use it together

Liam McGarry this is a weirdly apt comparison

Why this feel so true.

I only understood this video cause its just like warframe, even the base players understand the mods,mastery,rank,reset cycle of the weapons

True

Are you insinuating that my 8 ammo drums MIGHT be ineffective?

That would be nutty

Save files huh... D4C intensifies.

Yeah

I think thats what the spin-off manga/LN is like

You can't access save files on an online game.

later for another decade... :)))

Not to mention the lengths Naofumi went through

That's not easy considering Motoyasu and Itsuki. Ren seems like the only reasonable one but he likes to be a loner all the time.

@@brandonlyon730 you'd be surprised

Is Light Novel already done?

The thing is Ren is a somewhat hero because at least he tries to take responsibility but the other 2 not so much. But wjen ren get the curse series then insay he becomimg a hero

His only method was gaining skills and shields. Bases on the material he places in the the shield. He had an unlock system the others likely did not know about.

@@129das actually, no. Naofumi does have his own methods but they are way less game-y than the others. First is Trust: by trusting in their companions and those companions trusting the hero, both parties gain a boost in power. Second is Sharing: the effectiveness of Power up methods is increased if the heroes learned them from each other. Third is Energy boost: A hero with this method can apply their life force to increase the effectiveness of skills or crafted items. We still don't know Naofumi's fourth method, sadly.

The other heroes don't hate Naofumi, hate is an incredibly powerful emotion, it worms in deep within your gut and burns like the dying embers of a fire that refuse to go out. They are frustrated by his success despite their preconceptions of his legendary weapon and his personal character, they are also becoming frustrated for being so easily fooled by Myne, especially Motayatsu who does genuinely want to be a good person deep down. Naofumi's hate is also generalised towards the world and how it works, less towards the 'stupid' heroes he was summoned with. This is why he's got a soft heart for the demihumans who've been trampled all over and just want to live a decent quiet life.

I mean it doesn't need to be rage, Wrath is only one of the 7 deadly sins

Honestly I will be surprised if Ren isn't the first to figure this out. He's the most reasonable out of them all.

Take borderlands as an example. White rarity weapons Can bei better than legendarys

It's pretty applicable in Diablo 3.

You’ll understand his actions in s2 or 3. It’s all explained.

@@CryBlade Another example would be Elsword. A base Void weapon is actually a lot weaker then most Heroic weapons or new Secret Dungeon weapons.

Sounds like some gacha games i play, when the 4 or sometimes 3 stars are better than 5 star units

I am pretty sure he is mixing and matching the methods and heroes by accident. For Ren, the sword had nothing to do with rarity. That was all Itsuki, as he said later on. As Mastery goes up, the stats of the mastered weapon increases, hence at 100 mastery, the weapon can be used with additional stats (this has nothing to do with rarity). Resetting mastery to 0, by consuming said mastery instead of transferring (what he did with the weaker shields), increases the BASE stats of the said shield. Thus temporarily weakening the shield to power it up again at 100% mastery. Motoyasu is the one which could consume monster material for specified bonus, Related to the material used, for example, you can refine a specific shield with various materials from dragons to provide it with bonuses all related to dragons, making a specialized shield for dragons. The drawback is that there was a limitation of slots. His other method is very similar to Itsuki, in that using specific ores to reforge/plate their weapon making a bonus +1, +2, etc to the name. Itsuki as said is the one concerned with rarity, by reforging using specified ore, the rarity increases. Both Motoyasu and Itsuki's reforging methods have a chance to fail, the higher the progress it is, the more difficult it is to succeed. Both this and Motoyasu's method are very consuming of resources, as multiple retries are necessary to successfully reforge/plate one weapon and the stronger the weapon, the more rare and valuable the consumed ore/ metal has to be. All of these methods increases stats which are provided by the shield, which is the overall goal. Also what Motoyasu said was not stats, but proficiency. He specified, that by killing a specific monster over and over again, he can increase the proficiency in fighting that specific type of monster which lines up with one of the methods he mentions: by using the drops as materials, he could give his weapons a bonus such as underwater combat +20%. In contrast to Ren's Mastery, which increases the mastery percentage based of weapon usage, which is why Naofumi's viper chimera shield was 100% as his most used most powerful shield (excluding the curse series)

That friggi'n Ad😂

@@SaltyAsFug hahaha

That’s a good question, I have a few guesses for you: 1. He could be developing actual skill in crafting which can surpass that of his shields quick craft. (He can do a better job, but it takes longer.) 2. The shield can only craft items of an equal quality to its users skills. (So the more he crafts the better his quick craft becomes.) 3. Improving his crafting skill may have unlocked some shield abilities. (I’m thinking potion enhance but I’m not sure.) Honestly none of these could be correct, but they are my best guesses.

@@cosmoniums5990 yeah I think your definitely on the right track. Since he now has more background knowledge of the process he can probably craft better and more veried number of things than the other heroes. Like I know with enchantments and stuff he's able to read and cast his own spells and the other heroes can only do the spells that were given to them. There is probably a similar limit that the weapon can only craft what a person knows.

yeah, the only restriction is that they can't level up together. Far as i can tell, anything else goes...

Yeah, its hard to read that part of the Novel

@@DarkFrozenDepths is that even a thing though? That boomer king didn't seem to know all that much about the legendary weapons he knew more than most but he wasn't exactly an expert I think they were just going by the legends and given the way the system works if they just believe that they can level together they may be able too I don't know about you but that always seemed like another way to screw over naofumi by keeping his level low since he couldn't really fight himself and conveniently didn't have a party

@@ShadowFox10587O well, the first episode did have a help thing that popped up saying that the weapons have adverse effects being near each other. one of these things is to prevent the heroes from getting stronger. And more so, there's more weapons than just what the 4 heroes have, which are almost as strong, but with less restrictions. The Trash king did have one of those before... But as for his hatred for Naofumi, it started from him hating the previous shield hero. problem is, if one hero dies, the waves instantly become harder. more so if naofumi would have died given he's now the only one capable of fighting the waves... the other 3 couldn't even take out much on the 2nd wave they fought in... honestly, it's a ton of stubbornness and stupidity that's holding a lot of characters back... even naofumi in some cases although he does get better about it later on.

DarkFrozenDepths true

Hasan Wilson Ah a fellow man of culture I swear that meme won’t die go #TeamNero and #TeamEmiya

Mordred's sword is named Clarent

Is this FGO?

@@Terrakol is actually shield hero but he brought up FGO

I see youve read the web novel as well

But afterwards he does unlock his weapons and use the power up methods so he became strong

Ronald Marcano I’m having a little trouble understanding, do you mean that he doesn’t transfer his weaker, less used swords mastery level into his more powerful, more used swords? Do you perhaps know the chapter that he is shown as the weakest or that has addition information regarding the mechanics of his sword?

@DormeoCattus65: No, I mean he hasn't copied weapons or feed material into his legendary weapon like the others.

@@MrRonald327 why didn't the help menu and the upgrade options didn't pop up untill he was told??

Itsuki: And most importantly, we still laughed at him rightly, I didn't really know the basics and they themselves didn't even listen to him by listening to him, which would be helpful for us. In vain, we said to him all, it only excites him! Subsequently, he acquired a very incredible force and, moreover, he became a governor-general, we stopped calling by Lords, because it was called us because we corresponded to such a rank, but after Naofumi began to rule the territory and improved its economy began to call him the Lord from For land tenure, and we just became heroes!

Now remmembering the days when my best units would lvl up but only get a +1 in a single stat that they were not good for.

“Oh what the hell!! Another few level ups like that and I’m useless forever...”

Why have you read the light Novels they don’t even mention the US in any shape or form. (SPOILERS) Itsuki world is like my hero at lest in the Web Novel IDK if they keep that the same in the LN Motoyasu is basically in normal Japan probably just with different games and different political figures

_ GameFlyer587222 _. Wait what? Did I miss something, itsuki version of japan has abilities like quirks. That sounds interesting! Does itsuki have a hidden ability separate from the bow or is he like in mha where you can be “quirkless”

@@jamesmcmillin796 Itsuki has a weak ability which adjusts his aim. Meaning he never misses. (Or SHOULD never miss) His weak ability, leads to him being bullied and his unhealthy obsession with "justice". Which is his victim mentality saying, I deserve to be on top of the world because of MY suffering.

@@inigomontoya8627 In the Web Novel say that, i guess. I heard that Itsuki was bullied because he is short

James McMillin Itsuki has an ability that gives him perfect aim and it not the best in his world like there one that doesn’t allow you to miss this is why he so good with the bow because his ability helps him This is from the web novel so it might not be cannon anymore so don’t take it as a fact

Yeah, its the best way to bypass the Level 100 limiter. I think S'yne sister vassal weapon have it in which it does explain on why she can overpower naofumi even though they dont have a full pledge dragon emperor to bypass their levels

in ln i think ren also has a risk but im not sure

Naofumi also unlocks all kinds of shield forms by putting any possible materials or items in it an unlocking their equip bonuses by equipping them for long enough. In a way, his lack of knowledge about increasing the quality of his weapon forms made him focus on quantity and increase his base stats. It came in handy once he learned that both Ren and Motoyasu had mastery methods and that was given direction by Itsuki's rarity method to which shield forms to focus on. While Ren and Motoyasu both rely on mastering their weapon forms, none of them thought about going to sleep while equipping their weapon forms.

No. In light novels Naofumi tried to use leveling system from different game he knew, it didn't worked. I believe each hero can bring one way of getting stronger into the new world, which they can then share with other heroes.

@@anttibra then, what did Naufumi bring?

@@riddixdan5572 I'm not sure. I have to read that part from light novels again. One thing that might be from Naofumi is status boosts he get from every shields he have gathered and used for period of time. But I'm not sure.

@@riddixdan5572 Every single shield gives permanent stat boosts. They aren't much but they build up.

Ilikegames that explains a lot on how Naofumi is so damn powerful. All his stat boost keep piling up.

Naofumi did that's why he outclasses them so much at the end of the series

@@limitlesspotential1163 my method would be different though in a world view, and this is where it's bad for Naofumi I really liked Danmachi's level up system where based on your status and level would determine if you level up or not, and can vary your strength's and weaknesses mine would have 10 slots that improve over time, and sadly, you can't level up until everything is at least at E or D rank in each category strength: how strong you are vitality: how much pain you can endure dexterity: your bodies movement control agility: how fast your reactions are magic: how strong your magic is attack: how strong your attack's are to enemies defense: how strong your defenses are from enemy attacks resistance: how resistant you are to pain, harmful element's, and curses you are speed: how fast you can move/run mana: how much mana you have along with strength of said Mana and it's this level up system that Naofumi would run into trouble with, you see, if he can't level up without everything being E or D rank, then attack is where he falls short in, and it's not like it's fast progression, once you past I rank in each status, you will see a notable decrease in status increase as time goes by, S rank is the most wanted that takes month's or even year's to accomplish for many in this regard though Raphtalia can still age once one status in her stats gets past C rank, she will age in that body we all know and le- love... lewd, same for Filo as well, though, Naofumi would have to increase his attack ASAP if he wants to progress, but in this regard, their level up hold out might come in handy, they could increase their basic status to the point where their level difference won't matter to much if they are skilled enough, turning a rotten situation into an unforeseen opportunity

leon fierce It’s actually so that only one stat needs to be lvl D or higher to be able to lvl up.

Eray Temiz this is my own version which is much harder for people to level up with

Check out - Log Horizon, Goblin Slayer and Sword Art Online (You probably seen this one).

It’s stated in the novels that he has to dedicate himself to mastering the shield if he wants the permanent stat bonuses. This sometimes includes having to improvise using a sub-optimal shield for the situation. Though, because he mastered the weaker, common shields, he got some nice stat bonuses that let him fight much higher than his level would suggest.
