Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari Season 2 Episode 4 Discussion

TransparentNinja said:



Probably lack of character development. The closest thing we get is flashbacks explaining the back story of characters that have been on screen for 4 episodes now that they were expecting us to care about.

Ralphtalia just says the MC's name over and over, that's all she's going to do for the rest of the season. Basically gave her the Asuna treatment from SAO.

Bad animation compared to last season

the plot is a giant turtle and not revenge anymore

all of the heros in the show act autistic constantly to the point where it's not even believable that they make the choices they make, besides the MC. However he's just kind of boring now so there's that. He has the same expression and attitude the entire show at all times.


the fight scenes aren't remotely interesting, they're boring. It also no longer shows him gaining new abilities or using them in interesting ways.

hmmm what else?

the cast you see on screen are background mob characters that for some reason got thrown in as a main cast. Old lady monk character??!? why is she taking up any screen time?

green hair girl that wears a chicken suit while being shy and that's her defining feature/personality


I'm just not rooting for any of the characters at all, and quite frankly i don't care how they defeat the girant turtle, which apparently can be one shot by the judgement beam from hundreds of miles away and be down for several days, so they don't really need the heros anyways.

I am certain the adaptation is far from perfect, but my main problems with S1 lie with character and story writing, which are exclusively the author's fault. The direction actually seemed pretty decent (unlike in S2), so I just assumed she will get the same treatment from the author as most other characters.

Why is Glass being so shy? 😆

Why does Naofumi’s group assume the three other heroes are trapped inside Reiki?
Didn't they refuse to help fighting the Turtle?

After an awful first 3 eps we actually got a decent episode for once. Hard to evaluate eps independently when the season as a whole has been such a poor adaptation, but this was solid. I did enjoy the campfire scene quite a bit.

Think the anime did a good job of showing you the impact Ost has had on Rishia. It’s hard to really feel her development tho because of how much the anime has skipped with the training arc and other bits of info, but she’s definitely grown.

The meeting in the LN was way better.

Ardi8 said:
The art looks detailed unlike the anime, I'm disappointed now

JaniYohh said:


Thank you, I'm as lost as you. Is it a reference to the first episode where a random guy shouted that the heroes were dead ? I thought that was some bullshit and not the truth

Topgunnah said:

But that wouldn't explain why they think the other heroes are trapped in the turtle. I was so confused... Either it's a translation error or the directors skipped so much stuff, they made a plot hole.

Red_Ranger_Wien said:

I'm glad I'm not the only one confused by this. The three stooges made it pretty clear they didn't give a crap about the turtle.

Also I'm confused by Rishia's backstory. Wasn't she there when they formed their original parties in episode 1 of season 1?

Comander-07 said:
another boring episode, this season is really living up to my expectations in that way, it was obvious by the end of the first season..

My favourite moment of perhaps the entire season so far: Ost starts whiny dialogue and Naofumi just walks away lmao

Glass is back huh, I guess its getting somewhat interesting? Though 1/3 of the cour is already over so it is about time.

We got some backstory to Rishia but will we ever see why she wears her fursuits all the time?

Helltaker said:
Very boring episode too much talking not enough action.

DoubleR said:
Can anyone tell me if the whole village and the shrine thing were ON the turtoise?? Naofumi said they are climbing the turtle. I don't understand how they were on the tortoise and the next thing we see is the queen and her army are there too. And if so, how they ignore the fact that the village is ON the turtle and how come it was ruined?

I am really disappointed with the story telling in this season. It's all over the place, those small things can sometimes break the whole reason/logic.

halcyonparade said:
This is some of the most mind-numbing stuff I've ever had to sit through. There is absolutely nothing in this stupid spirit tortoise arc that is remotely as interesting as anything in the first season. Who are these new people? Why is this arc even important? Why should I even care? It's a real shame, since this series had a little something going for it.

UkRs said:
Ya know.. So much happened in this episode while almost nothing happaned..

Who were those people living on Tortoise back? Why they dead? why people grieving? There isn't a single point in first 3 eps where they revealed that people were living on Tortoise back..


Atleast its nice to see Thicc Queen in her suit.. and oh! Glass is back! but.. I don't even properly remember her.. What role did she even played? lmao

SouthRzVa said:
Honestly, what's more absurd than having Rishia falling for bland Bow Hero is the fact of other Hero besides Naofumi actually being useful for once.

Also, why are they assuming the other three heroes are trapped inside the turtle? Didn't those idiots say in episode 1 that they were only interested in fighting Waves and shit?
