Its just that the other heroes are running errands instead of getting stronger.

Just situational, one for crowd control, the other for large burst damage (or enemies in a line).

@@finndemoncat9379 Even on those errands they suck at it.

Agreed I didn't mind the curse series so much because it came at a cost but this was just sad to watch

railgun? try the bfg 9000!

@Matheuszo naofumi is more kind than he realizes, and now he has to come to face that, but if not for ost, this could have been that endgame moment where nobody wins, and everyone loses...

@Matheuszo “There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.”

I was thinking the same. He's finally becoming the hero part of shield hero. By that he's becoming a bit more altruistic and shedding the callouses Malty brought on him.

@@Midsomnyx He's kinder than he knows, but calling him a "gentle man" is hardly accurate to his actions

@@savagewolver8541 And unfortunatly still broken by the rage shield.

I think we all know he wish got ended right there next time doesn't go well!

@@JVC1103 - What's really irritating is the anime shows how the green haired broad bypassed the guy's barrier a couple times but never bothered to attack him directly.

@@ezg8448 I found it more Irritating that the shield didnt target bad guy....................... I mean really. give the hero a Rail gun shooting shield, and then NOT shoot bad guy??!!

@@HighmageDerin mainly because it wouldn't fix the problem. Even if he dies the turtle still won't stop and Ost can't control it. So he has to destroy the core first.

@@HighmageDerin the one who forced the attack on the core was ost herself, naofumi didn't want to shoot it.

Sad but true 😔

Relatable

@@Darkarius77 my heart bro!! I had forgotten about that!

For his side special, he weilds a gun

more like lock lock laser beam shot boom pow

all i could think of while watching this scene is 'Warning: BFG 10000 is firing'

@@TDIdialgagirl For his up special, he invokes eiha with a mere *Gun.*

Your not wrong in these 6 episodes they went through 2 of the light novels and cut half of the content out of them in the 1st season they had it so each light novel played out in 4 episodes and they hardly cut anything out

@@ricardoe2000 Ive last watched an episode 4 i think, i legit have no idea who that guy is and what they just destroyed or even where they are.

My boi aninews can help with that

@@hazeal1339 you’re talking about the one with the book My guess would be the hero from the world where Glass was from

Why is MC saying stop? Can't he control the shield? What's happening?

Yup. Different shield he uses, different perk he has to use. People say Shield can't do anything in a Anime world, Naofumi can lol 😂

@@Ren_1106 shields in general combat are severely underestimated mainly because of movies and series where weapons shine when was the last series/movie beside shield hero where a shield got a name (like sting from the hobbit etc)

@@Ren_1106 I don't know about you but I don't know of any shields that can shoot a railgun and summon a giant chain chomp. At this point, it's more of a jack of all trades magic device in the shape of a shield.

Even Captain America would be impressed by the shield hero Lol.

@@everydayfun9531 Absolutely indeed. Shield Hero with a Spirit Tortoise Railgun Shield with the Angel wings in Naofumi’s back. This is absolutely amazing! 😀 This reminds of Maple Tree’s Loving Sacrifice and Machine God with railguns in (BOFURI: I Don’t Wanna Get Hurt So I’ll Max My Defense)

And it was because of everything that happened in the previous episodes. The conversation and development of the characters that made this episode stronger to see.

For a guy going without an "attack", I think its nice he got one

Referencing Zone of the Enders in 2022 😭 You have my respect

what happened again?

Zone of the enders! Such an underrated series of games!

I came to the comments to say the same thing. Amazing.

😂😂😂🤣 Finally in the belly of the Tortoise they found purpose. As batteries.

It’s just sad that the Sword Hero’s party had to suffer as well. 😞 May the Gods rest their souls. And May the rest suffer for their cowardly betrayals. 😡

@@elitetrooper119 Do you think that they should've added a bit from the WN? Specifically, the part where the heroes switched party members. If I'm not mistaken, Naofumi found Ren's team to be the most genuine as they apologized for not being able to help him when he was framed and not choosing to be on his team despite being in Melromarc where the Shield Hero is seen as demonic. Edit: It could have made us feel for them more.

@@sprocket403 yeah that would’ve been awesome

@@sprocket403 Ren is most sane person out of all 3 idiots tbh 1.I want spinoff about him 2.I want him become just as strong as Naofumi

The one thing writers should add to the mix is Shield Hero’s Shining Shield but the Angel wings on Naofumi’s back, but beyond powerful than Rage Shield.

My most trusted savior Shield Heroes: Captain America 🛡 Shield Hero (The Rising of the Shield Hero) 🛡 Mash Kyrielight The Female Shield Hero🛡(Fate Grand Order) Maple Tree 🛡(BOFURI) No matter dark things may get. I believe in Shield Heroes and the Shielder person wielding it with heart and belief.

That’s make sense, thanks for the explanation.

"character development" 🤣

@@zeronin4696 mind explaining buddy?

@@Luke-cu7bf this season was evidently rushed and it's pacing was terrible. There where a few good moments, but it wasn't enough to deal with the problems. I so want a redo.

@@zeronin4696 so its been 5 months and I'm still waiting for a response from you

Facts😂

Oh .a why did you remind me of that, I so wish so for Season 2 for that

I always understood it as her and her shield hero going through similar situations back when they were a party. She speaks from experience and predicts history to repeat itself

I agree. The last few episodes of Shield Hero are pretty good, and this is my favorite this season. Light novel readers also agreed as while the stuff was rushed, they did the recent episodes justice. Also with how Rishia is done here imo.

A lot of people think this ark should have just been skipped all together, I haven't watched or read it so I wont judge but the first few episodes of s2 were pretty boring before I gabe the series a break no lie.

@@ejmakibelo3224 you can't skip this arc because it contains a lot of world building that will become relevant in the next seasons, but in general it's considered one of the weakest arcs in the LN, so I kind of understand why they want to rush it, animating the entire spirit tortoise arc has it is would have needed 13 episodes at least, and would have been even more of a chore, at least now next week we begin the Kizuna World Arc that is more interesting

@@hectormiguel172 oh okay I get you. How are you feeling about the current season rn compared to the first? In terms of animation

@@ejmakibelo3224 if you compare it with S1, it's 70% as good as that at most, maybe COVID-19 is finally residing, but it's effects are still making ripples, probably the BD will fix it later

hahahahaha yeah gUy! let's enjoy this new season together!!!! hyped fro shiled bro. Did you know that shields are actually shields made from stuf?? O_0 tactical knowledge! SpidErman!

You know, at least the director has admitted that this arc was pretty boring. That also makes sense as to why they rushed through it. My only concern is how much material they'll have for S3

@@frogdude59 actually there is a lot of content for more seasons So don't worry about it But i hope they stay with the slow pace that they are doing now in those episodes (Spoiler ahead don't read if u don't want to get spoiled) I hope that this season ends with the genius fight not kyo fight And that's what some leakers are saying If they finished the season with the genius death then did e recap episode then everything will be more than fine

I didn't see it at all thanks for catching that

Yes but you’ll see it one more time with the last battle against kyo

Not in the sense of helping THE WORLD AHAHAHAHHAHA

Yeah Lar'c Theresa, and Glass are pretty cool aren't they lol

Yeah...I mean.. they really helped with the decor

-in case you were talking about the 3 morons* Hhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahhaahhahahah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s a funny joke.

I bet. Making tough decisions

Yep

As the d and d tank/beat stick I can say spear hero is always WRONG!

Funnily enough, it's more because Naofumi has had to struggle and make the most of everything he has, whereas Ren, Motoyasu, and Itsuki had the benefit of infrastructure set in their favor and meta knowledge about the world that helped them speedrun everything early on, but that's ironically made them rather inept at actually fighting because they haven't taken anything particularly seriously since the start, and the builds they've been focusing on are deeply suboptimal because they're focusing on specific upgrade paths that sacrifice virtually all utility on the altar of DPS. Incidentally, this means that they don't have as many passive stat boosts as they should for their level, which is inadvertently gimping them compared to Naofumi, who should be weaker than them by all rights, and their tactical flexibility is essentially nonexistent because again, the morons focused on damage instead of, say, crowd control.

Rage curse , new skill with every new boss and this Plot armor The man can do anything tank,DPS and healer

It’s actually explained much later in the series, not sure if it was web or light novel but spoilers ahead: Each legendary weapon gets to pick their heroes so it can summon them, however the summoning of the best fit doesn’t always succeed. Naofumi was the shields first choice and it got lucky with picking him. If I remember correctly the other three were their weapons third choices because they couldn’t summon the others. This means naofumi was the best fit for the shield so he was technically ’special’ meaning he needed less of a push for his weapon to reach full potential

He gets some truly broken shields. Do you want a small spoiler

@@thomascaldwell2567 no lol

@@duke-aeric all I will say is he gets to use more than one at a time to Insane effect

@@thomascaldwell2567 What about the other hero’s? What happens to them.

@@darth3911 spoilers They get caught and released like in the episode showed and if you want greater details tell me but they each go through their own turmoil and they get better slowly

I know what you mean

Ahh I'm sure it'll be uh fine ha...ha oh who am I kidding it's gonna hurt all over again DX

Wait it's not over yet dude curse shield is a fully party of this show son chill

It's the opening for this season, Bring-Back by Madkid

But later they gonna become well some how eww... well not gonna spoil you so wait the next season If I'm not mistaken!

My thoughts exactly. Looks weird and out of place.

i mean their curse series are really nice , gotta wait for them to get hit with that TRAUMA real quick though ,

Is not funny anymore, is sad how pathetic the cardinal stooges are, despite me not caring for them one bit.

@@schris3 preech brotha

@@mikhailabraham421 hopefully thier failure here opens their eyes to how talented naofumi team really is . Even rishias had amazing character development ...wish we could've seen their training though

@@millwilliams2397 naofumi is just as dumb, reckless and incompetent as the three heroes.

Yep

IKR!

i think too ! there is 7 sins and 7 virtues and they said he is sad because of his partners/team so it is the kindness

It's compassion he unlocks not virtues

Shield of Mercy but we have to lose a top tier waifu

no , he doesn't yet

There's no virtues series, just bless series

@@aandmfbfn I don't think so or else we will never write that

The only nuke he had is the wrath shield one

At least good.

It's the opening of season 2

the wings is for the impulse

It reminds me of a certain armor from shield hero webnovel.

I mean they had to BRING BACK! The series eventually 😎

What I meant is there is plot armour,action as well as a little bit more of good animation

It is a good defensive shield, in the light novel it can use an attack that uses the energy collected from the turtle. It's like it shoots souls

I was wondering too maybe for more drama or something but it's not making sense lol

i think because of the counterweight! that laser has very big power so he could not targeting well when he shoot (the power of laser just push him back)

@@gipsymelody1268 Then what would be the point of the parts that go to the floor? Wouldn't those be a better counterbalance to the laser's force than wings that wouldn't actually stop him from going back but just minimize how far back he'd be pushed?

I stopped questioning the logic of anime powers and weapons a long time ago.

@@wolfness27 that's an OG

Yup

yess, and the fact that it will get even better with the next arc💕

Ok
