Naofumi rejecting Melty is understandable , this was a lot more enjoyable compared to the previous few episodes which were underwhelming .

Nice episode. I feel a bit sorry for Firo not getting a proper explanation. Also we got to see Glass at the end of the episode. The greatest part was the segment with the overthrown tyrant. Unless you have a new system to replace the old you are just changing the names of the rulers but not the life for the citizens

Well, hopefully with the second wave starting next episode things will get more interesting because excluding the beginning of the series Shield Hero has been extremely uneventful and underwhelming so far. Another meh episode this week.
The next wave will be much stronger so I think will like it.

As I thought the bow and sword heroes are just stupid fools like spear heroes, I hope that Naofumi kills them only, on the other hand Raphtalia and Filo get new weapons, and we see Naofumi get new alliances from royal warriors, it seems they know the truth of the hero of the shield , and the next 2nd wave will come next week, as usual I can't wait
you do? Do you really think Naofumi can repel the waves alone?

I really liked this episode. Good balance between serious stuff and slow buildup. It's also nice to see Naofumi's character somewhat develop: first he learned to not trust anyone and now he starts to be a bit nicer, but without forgetting his past experience.


Melty, the loli. Not Malty, the bitch.


I understand that both princesses have similar first names and sounds very confusing at first, but I don't think I've spelled the name wrong ^^; and I wasn't refering to the loli princess, but since you've talked about it, I think even if she's the young princess, she seems more collected and reasonable than her older sister.

I assumed you commented on the scene near the end, when the queen (their mother) mentioned Melty being the future queen. Sorry if I misunderstood.

that is why Naofumi put the condition they can buy good enough equipment for themselves. In history in the beginning theknights had to buy their own equipment so it fits

it's better than him helping everyone without asking something for return. And he does have a reason to, since the whole country is legit against him. No wonder he's worried all the time, you'd be too if you were falsely accused of something you never did. I mean look at the whole Vic situation, he's going through hell now after being falsely accused too

Really? I thought it was only the nobles and some of the royal family that were against him. Seems like the fans can't keep their story straight.

This dude was inconvenienced for perhaps a couple weeks, but he goes around acting like he had it worse than Jean Valjean from Les Miserables. Huge chip on his shoulder for no reason.
It is more complex than that. The commoners opinion is divided. Consider the fact the Church is against him too.

So Naofumi called out of both Sword and Bow Heroes about the consequences of their leftovers. At least The sword hero felt some remorse for not realizing the problems he had left and done.

Malty as the queen?? It will definitelly put the citizens in complete misery -_-" If that happens, hey would have their town ruled by an evil queen for sure! Not a good sign...

Great episode! Ralphtalia wants to go with Naofumi when he returns to his original world? Yep, that's love alright X3 very cute! <3

I second this, It's good to see that Melty got rejected, It would've been the 3rd loli on Naofumi's group and that would look really wrong tbh (I say 3rd, because even if Raph doesn't look like, she's still a little girl)

I quite liked this episode, it was a good set up for the next wave. I just hope they won't put everything that happens in the next wave into next episode. Please let it be two episodes, I beg of you...

But yeah, what happened in this episode was part of the reason why Ren was my favorite out of the other heroes. It did bother him that people had to suffer under his actions, while Itsuki was just an arrogant, stuck-up asshole who only cares about the 'injustice' that happened to him and not what he did to other people. Itsuki was by far the worst of the three heroes, Motoyasu was just a fool, blinded by his loyalty to his party. But Itsuki is just terrible, I really do not like him at all.
Anyway, I also liked that Raphtalia only now understood that Naofumi would leave her world in the end. She really looked sad in that moment, my poor girl </3

I really hope that the next episode only covers the
and the episode after covers
. The results will definitely be not good if Kinema Citrus tries to cover both of them in a single episode.
I'm honestly disappointed that wave 2 didn't start with this episode. I really didn't think that there was enough content to do a full episode without getting into it.

There are hints that the church is involved with it. Given how the nun/sister from last episode acted and tried to give Naofumi a low quality of holy water. And then how the shield is missing from the church. Also pay attention to what the pope says to Naofumi when he leaves.

Well considering how the royals treated him its hardly surprising that he won't trust Melty. The thought of Naofumi leaving her though must fill Raphtalia with a deep fear. The king sure is proving to be quite the jerk though outlawing Naofumi's attempt to get stronger. Hmm Talons sure are pretty apt weapons for Filo. The sewers sure made an excellent testing ground for Filo and Raphtalia's new weapons. The towns that they passed through sure were wrecks. Ironic in how the hero's eventually become the new oppressors. Looks like Bow hero just can't accept that his attempts to help people backfired on him. Looks like the queen's trying to reconcile with Naofumi via Melty which is a nice effort considering how the royals treated him.

Of course they're involved, but who have they indoctrinated? Naofumi hasn't had any trouble getting the common rabble on his side.

Can't blame Naofumi for not trusting Melty, that trust issue will heal in time I am sure. Ofcourse, leave it to the king to just deny Naofumi of everything... I swear to god. With little things like these, he'll never trust anyone again. Hopefully Melty can be a changing factor.

The new wave is here and Naofumi is not alone, as he managed to get help from some knights that reached out to him. That woman in the end might become a problem.

Naofumi overreacted a little towards Melty but understandable as he has been used by her sister acting all nice before. Wish he was a bit more accepting but well. Melty will regain his trust sooner or latter hopefully (I mean its going to happen anyway but ye.)
And I swear most people in that country are plain disgusting. At least a few more sensible ones joined Naofumi this time, good choice. Bow guy is even more stupid than sword guy, and Motoyasu is just an abomination, disgusts me the most (though the king is very close. Malty would be 3rd most disgusting one.)

I don't really understand why the King is denying Naofumi's party class upgrades. He's restricting the strength of one of the heroes, so wouldn't that make the kingdom worse-off against the Waves? It doesn't make sense why he'd deliberately put the kingdom at a disadvantage when that's the whole reason Naofumi was summoned in the first place.

The king doesn't consider Naofumi to useful regardless, and is basically denying him things out spite.

Also, keep in mind this kingdom is a matriarchy, and Malty has the King wrapped around her little bitchy finger.

the reason the king did not need naofumi was because he thought the hero of the shield was the weakest among the others, besides that he could also save on the costs he had incurred to hire the heroes

Was looking forward to seeing the scene where Naofumi tells off Ren and Itsuki, at least Ren seems to seem a little remorseful of his actions. I doubt we'll get all the way there but the other 3 heroes really are quite something with the way they perceive this world.

Looking forward to the wave next week, lot of interesting stuff is gonna happen.

I am so glad they piggybacked on the Spiderman quote. That was freaking hilarious!

Yeah the Melty feelsbadman train is there but I cant blame Naofumi for not trusting her. The King keeps screwing him left and right. i bet if the other heroes wanted to upgrade the class it would be free.

Raphtalia putting the moves on Naofumi. OKAY!!!

Also his new good-looking armor with the core of the zombie dragon thing looks promising, hopefully it’ll make him extremely more OP.

Its not a matter of "getting used to" This story doesn't need a harem to be told.

You know you could say that to many, many series right?
It is not about what you want, but what there is.
Even the WN was filled of lots of girls around MC later on. I m just telling you the truth, MC will have an increasing amount of squadmembers, and many of those will see him on a more favorable "light".
That doesnt mean this is what the focus on the story is.

Bro, we talked about this before, even CS series has a freaking harem if you are real about it, yet the plot is still told right?!
Very few plots written nowadays (IF from japan) have just 1 or 2 females goes at it for the MC.
