Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari Episode 7 Discussion

1. While Raphtalia and Filo are looking for his attention it’s apparent they love him. Even Filo was looking for the egg to “mate” with Shield hero

2. Can you read? I said devolving into a harem, meaning it’s the start. You weebs think there the distinction between a love triangle and harem makes this any better is hilarious.

3. Stop with your headcanon. If he can wield a hammer, he can use it in battle

Stfu about “your opinions are wrong”. Nothing you said changed my stance. You blind fanboys don’t criticise SH, you dickride everything in this poorly written Isekai so don’t lie to yourself.

oh my bad
I do like the manga depiction of their relationship better though. They feel more of a family than a harem.

Damn one of the worst episodes I've seen in a while, all of the dialogue is either NPCs sucking his dick or birdloli and raccoonwaifu having beef. Makes me wonder how stupid the reason everyone hates Shield Hero is going to be. Where is the underdog story of a hero having to buy slaves because everyone hates him, I only see a dude with a harem doing sidequests waiting for Team Rocket to make their appearance again

Was that a fucking filler? I don't remember any of this crap around hot springs in the manga. Character models were off, writing was garbage, it has filler written all over it. So much source material and they do shit like this? Awful episode.

Seems like in the next episode we will finally see the curse shield

Can't wait to see what it's like

Also, everyone who's calling this anime a harem already, you have no idea what a harem anime looks like

FFS it's only Rapthalia who's in love with Naofumi, Filo is just a child who's actually a damn bird, who just wants attention from Naofumi, that's all

This is nothing like a harem

And stop calling this/previous episode a filler or useless

Just because there isn't intense drama and fights, it's not a filler
EVERY anime needs episodes like these...

Another boring generic filer-like episode. This and Slime hero declined horribly.

@Killuan I don't want to be rude but I don't really care anymore. This doesn't fit my taste and it's not going to be entertaining for 25 episodes for me. With characters as basic as this you need to at least have some worldbuilding or interesting combat system, maybe have some sidecharacters to focus on for some variety (sneaking out to make master happy doesnt count) idk

You do realize that this anime is adapted from the LN version not the manga. The 2nd part was from the 2nd volume extra chapter because they want to save the next episode for the climax of Vol.2, if you already read the manga I assume you already know it.

An advice: Do not expect people to understand, they will always complain, exactly because they can't wait and they want everything now. Some people don't even bother to think about what they say and say "wrong" facts, like the Manga is the original source
Hell, some people even complain when they know everything because "it didn't come sooner"
There is a big difference in legitimate criticism and blind hate

What I'm wondering is how he, or at least the audience, doesn't know the reason yet. If everyone hates the shield hero so much you'd think the reason would have gotten back to him by now.

Esquirtit said:
@killian I enjoyed last episode, and I'm not dropping this show it's not like I don't enjoy it all I just come here to complain

@Cleckeroo episode 2, 5 and this one are terrible imo I enjoyed the other ones

The whole plant situation at the start of this episode was probably the first actually interesting thing in this series. Pretty cool that it was parasitic, plus we got the bonus of some tentacle hentai. Shame it ended so quickly.

Sadly, the "abilities" of SH seem more and more like asspull. He just happens to have all these relevant skills right when they are needed, with no explanation of how or when he got them. And it seems like few of them have much to do with actually using his shield for, say, shielding stuff. His abilities seem to have more to do with magic and alchemy than anything else. Maybe they should have called the series "Rise of the Plot Convenience Hero" instead, and made it a satire of the isekai genre?

"He's so quiet and cool, isn't he?"
No Raphtalia, he's milquetoast.

The last half of the episode was ... pathetic? I have no idea why this romance/jealousy angle is being forced into the story. Raphtalia's character has been reduced to chasing after Naofumi, and he just doesn't deserve her.

Cleckeroo said:


Well I'm old enough to understand that there are no perfect anime exists because of people have different tastes.

But if they have the wrong impression of the series or they misunderstood the context of some scenes or some elements that is misunderstood because that can be explain the later episodes, I will defend it by my current knowledge of the series and clearing their misunderstanding.

Except for trolls or haters that hates the series for shallow reasons, I don't waste my precious time to them.

Thanks for the advice btw I really appreciate it.

Another advice: eat a dick. I know it's not adapted from the manga but one, manga adaptations usually follow LN story line so it's safe to assume they match, two, second part of the episode was so God damn awful, it's hard to believe it's not a filler. It's actually even worse because it means the source can get that bad without the usual anime production bullshit. I know what comes next in the story but it doesn't change the criticism about this episode in any way.

BlackLatias said:
Sadly, the anime leaves out a lot concerning the shield abilities. The shield Naofumi uses right now? From the Chimera the heroes killed in the first wave (I think it is that one at least). He got it in the village Filo hatched in. But there we just saw the flesh hanging in that barn, because of that montage, so how could anime only watchers know?
It is a fault of the anime, since they would just need to show him absorb some things.

And the plant fight was also a bit different, but I digress. The anime changed a whole lot of things this episode.
I still liked it in the end, but it could've been done better.

PS: Naofumi was given a pick hammer as a present.

“I can’t use another item to fight with besides my shield” hur durr. Well, you got one now.

But actually he was not given a pick hammer. He was given a crafting hammer. Its not even big enough to be used as a weapon. Like it's tiny. You couldn't even use it for blacksmiths its really little. He uses it to do jewelry making with minerals and gemstones. And he ends up selling accessories along with his potions.

Jealous love rivalry between Raphtalia and Filo, who btw have the mental age of children. Disgusting

SSL443 said:

I recall from the producer/director AMA that they deliberately downlayed the "game" aspect of the world, which presumably includes the shield abilities. Seems like they took that approach too far because the shield seems like an afterthought at this point.

That said, I still find some of the abilities to be strange. Like, why would he be able to manipulate plants just because he absorbed a plant? I can see if he could shoot vines out of his shield or something, or even get the regenerative abilities. But instead he is now some kind of ultimate greenthumb.

Yea love rivalry between 2 girls is really H A R E M like you re stupid .

SSL443 said:

He could use it as a kubaton.

BlackLatias said:
I don't really understand some of the changes they made from the source in this ep. Filo never mentioned in the LN that Naofumi should be her mate in the future, she only wanted him to praise her, nothing more.

The anime makes it hard for me to say that it is not a harem, if it really makes it seem like one. In the LN Filo doesn't think of Naofumi that way, why did they do this here? Really, why?

Overall I liked the episode and I suppose the next one might end on a cliffhanger. But anyway, it's nice to see that the ep didn't go the way it was pictured in the LN, because that would have been another issue altogether. And Rapthalia was absolutely adorable this episode, I just love this girl so much, seriously :D

Can't wait until next week though. I really hope it will be an awesome episode, it should be at least.
