It feels weird to see a cocky NPC-like character summoning a bloody huge meteor of all things on Naofumi, Raphtalia and Filo, but credit to Naofumi's impressive shield prison for holding out. It's also where S'yne also turned up and helped the group to take out the two cocky brats. For now, it's nice to see Naofumi finally agree to let S'yne stay and help out, considering how interesting her backstory is. I'm sure it'll be touched upon again soon or later.

Fohl and Atla are improving rather quickly with their combat skills, which is nice to see. With that in mind, what better way to treat the younger group and their improved skills by hunting down some criminals? After splitting up from the group, Naoumi and Raph-Chan both encounter the Filo simp (Motoyasu), who was engaged in a fight with Ren, who now looks like a proper bandit.

I won't deny that this episode is the weakest of this third season so far, but I still enjoyed it. Here's hoping that Ren gets the arse-kicking that he needs in the next episode. =)

@Roch2001 I don't see how that would ruin it for you. If you enjoy the show don't pay mind. Just voicing our opinions like you. I'm just sad to see such a large drop in all aspects of the show over the seasons. Especially the characters. The first season was well rounded and had a good character arc for us to follow along with good action. Now I can't feel that anymore. The second season really just killed me. A lot of that development we had seemed to not matter.

Noafumi treats S'yne so bad ;-; I want to know more about her 'cause she doesn't look evil.

Not many things to say about this episode, except that Motayasu is a pain in ass. Never liked him and apparently now he will be running behind Filo all the season.

So Ren is the bandit leader, huh?

Except for the clown quite the dull episode. This season feels just so off to me. The others cardinal heroes acting so unbelievabllly stupid, goofy road side villains that knew about the world but looked so generic I almost thought they lost their Ninja headbands andhe world building which was my favourite part about the anime is also pretty meh. I expected so much more ever since they got the village. Mostly season 1 wibes with a cunning Naofumi setting up budgets and making the village a stronghold in no time.

But hey, welcome to our next Harem member! I hope they can get back to the quality from the rescue arc.

The plot is getting more interesting with S'yne joining the Shield Hero party. What is her background and a vassal weapon wielder from a destroyed world at that too?

Ren's appearance is mysterious. Why Motoyasu fighting him?

Ah, yes, finally the episode where we can clearly see how the animation begins to go to shit, they can't fool me with that amazing opening, I knew the good animation was just a short lie.

What the fuck was that at the beginning? Where they attacked by fucking SAO players? lmaoooooooo! Also I hate when someone uses a skill like that meteor, a slow ass skill, and they just stand there looking at it, like, fucking run lol

Anyways, I'm confused, Rapthalia's body grew without even having a class change, it was all because of her level, yet these kids already had a bigger level and performed the class change but they are still the same? That's weird, and it sucks, I guess there will always be a lot of lolis and shotas following Naofumi, and that is lame as fuck.
Philo's body doesn't change because she is a Filolial.
And Keel is actually a girl btw 🙄

PLS JUST LET MOTOYASU TAG ALONG, HE CAN BE A BRO TOO, GIVE HIM A CHANCE NOW THAT HE KNOWS BITCH IS, WELL, A BITCH!!!

btw is crazy to me how S'yne became one of my favorite characters in like 3 seconds.

PD: I miss Kizuna so fkng much 😭
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~

Well, it was short-lived but it seems like the bandwagon fans are coming back, sadly… Was kinda peaceful around here when it was just us, the small community that followed this series way back in season 1 and didn’t just give up on from last season because “cgi turtle hurts my eyes”, *sigh* oh well, it was meant to be I guess.

Getting really tired of this series. Naofumi is the damn Shield Hero, it's season 3, and his party is still getting beat by some no-name, background character bandits. Like what's the point of summoning other people from different worlds when you already have these trivial bandits to cover your ass? Also, this series keeps on adding characters without developing the current ones. Power scaling in this anime is confusing, lackluster battle scenes, and unnecessary focus on minor characters.

Why is he acting like he wasn't sure if other worlds exist? He comes from another world, knows that each of the other heros in this world come from separate worlds and has visited yet another where he spoke to heros that mention yet more worlds. Dude is a moron.

Can't wait to see Atla and Fohl in full strength!
And also would be great for Naofumi to take care of that curse.

Naofumi, Raphtalia and Filo encountering trouble on the way back to Eclair against some high-level mages, even one summoning a meteor, this is on a level unprecedented before ever felt. S'yne coming back to help Naofumi dispel the enemies, it's just all too coincidental, though this time, she is really earnest about her position as a Vassal Hero, having her world be destroyed by adventurers and having no world other than the Cardinal Heroes' to go back to. But given the Murder Clown's atrocities in the past, Naofumi still does not trust her, but at least keeping an eye on her for now.

Upgrading the childrens' levels is part and parcel of the experience, as the young-uns' like Keel and Tollynemiya wants to learn to be blacksmiths. Others are also carving out their own paths, like the blind Atla who's also improving as well. Going for hunting with the kids to find the bandits' hideout, Raphtalia soon senses a way that sees Motoyasu face off against Ren, now wearing a mask.

What are both the Sword and Spear Cardinal Heroes doing at a place such as this?

Why the hell did these random dudes from a destroyed world attack Naofumi’s group?! I’m glad we learn the true identity of S’yne Lokk and that she’s a Vassal Weapon wielder from a destroyed world. Also, Raphtalia’s curse was broken due to the random taking away Naofumi’s buff. Now it’s just left to Naofumi and Filo to get rid of their curses.

A lot of the demi humans were able to upgrade and it seems the one known as Imiya is familiar with the Elhart (the blacksmith) know each. Small world.

I like Naofumi and Eclair’s plan. Kill two birds with one stone. And I like how Naofumi uses himself as a decoy to lure out the bandit leader and then Raphy leads him to a fight between Motoyasu and Ren. IS REN THE BANDIT LEADER?!?! WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING?!?!? Obviously Bitch put her up to something…

This is getting interesting…

Honestly, I feel like the direction of the show should've gone more into the action points because these slice-of-life interactions make it boring asf. Honestly not a bad episode, just boring overall. I'll continue because the next episode looks like a fight is coming on.🔥🔥🔥

This episode doesn't move the plot forward that much. It's just Naofumi gaining a new companion and preparing his group to fight a few bandits. It's only till the final seconds of the episode that the main plot starts advancing.

However, that doesn't mean that nothing happens in this episode. Aside from the obvious improvement in the quality of animation, I liked how the white tiger siblings have become used to living in Naofumi's village. It's these small character moments what made Rising of the Shield Hero so amazing in the first place.

Season 3 is already shaping up to be better than season 2, but even when it's reaching the halfway mark, I can't help but feel that I'm watching this show as a chore. I've already given up any hope in this show reaching the heights it got to back in season 1 and it's speaks to how much of the hype around this show has vanished when people went from expecting this show to be amazing to just be... okay.

Even so, I'm glad that the show is improving from the disappointment that was season 2 and I can't wait to see what happens next.

Please don't say they used all of their animation budget on the first few episodes, that wouldn't be any fun would it?

Pretty slow episode, but I feel this one could be important, especially with the hero from the other world along with whatever that battle between Motoyasu and Ren was.

Not bad, but I hope the next episode is better.

Almost half of the season, and nothing special has happened yet. I thought nothing can beat second season as how bad it can be, but I'm slowly being proved wrong. Plus that ending and showing other heroes' face's should'nt really happen...

The power system really is fucked in this show, some random dudes are no-diffing Raphtalia until they suddenly don't anymore. Keel and Fohl(?) are looking way too similar.

S'yne is very cute. The subtitles almost make it look like she curses like a sailor though, even if it's just a representation of her voice "glitching". You could infer that said vocal defect is a result of some sort of interference caused by her otherworldly origin.

Struggling against random bandits might look odd, but Naofumi did explain that the "Sacrifice Aura" essentially debuffed them with a status effect in the first episode, and it doesn't seem to be easy to cure.

This series kept getting weirder and weirder as the Spear Hero ask someone in hand in marriage... lol

Then the next thing, we get Ren with a mask while in a duel with Motoyasu.

Come to think of it, S'yne's said their heroes' were actually the culprit for destroying their world? Weird but very possible.
Much like what the three heroes are doing right now. (Itsuki is still missing tho.)

Alta is so adorable.. 🥰🥰🥰

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.
