It's kinda impressive whta magic can really do in this show. Ethnobalt is one of a kind character this arc with those skills.

Poor Filo though. She's not being treated well and in fact very cruely by an abuser. It hurts to see characters suffer in this show, especially her. Episode also goes to show how much Naofumi cares about Filo by his reaction. I mean, seriously that was just cruel to see.

Finally an actually faithful adapted episode. We get Raph-Chan(biggest concern) ethanobolt and Filo’s rescue and all 3 were done pretty well. Let’s hope this continues going forward. Looking forward to seeing Glass and everyone next week.

Also, hoping we get volume 23 announced soon here. There were rumours they’d use the anime as promo but season 2 is damn near done at this point.

Raph-Chan its finally here! And its as cute as I remember.
Shield hero have beee better since the start of the New arc, its a shame they make that much mistakes with the past arc, but atleast this one is better paced, and adapted so far.

Really enjoyed the episode! True to the source material, just a little bit of a quick feel to things, but ok.Naofumi's relationship with Filo was very beautiful, something that wasn't shown much in the first season, and it cleared up doubts if Naofumi could still use the shield of Wrath, and by the way, yes.next episode will make season 1 cancelers outraged, how contradictory was the cancellation on this show.

Ethnobalt has a nice magic and his real form is a rabbit.

Show has a long history when it comes to abuse with slaves, so watching Filo going through the same unfortunately didn't come as a surprise. Though atleast she's rescued for the time being, but we still have things going on with Raphtalia.

What kind of messed up situation did Filo find herself into. They always have the most despicable nobles they could come up with.

I have a feeling Kyo is gonna whammy Raphtalia and that’s why the slave crest is gone from the stats screen. Probably gonna brainwash her and tie her slave crest to him somehow. Raph-chan is still around so she’s alive for now despite being captured. Doesn’t really look good for her… I hope Naofumi is able to save her before anything worse happens.

I’m glad Naofumi was able to save Filo. It’s too bad we didn’t get to see Naofumi go medieval on that piece of shit, save for that brief scene. I forgot he has some truly terrifying shields in his arsenal.

Anyways, I’m liking these new characters so far. Chris is friggin adorable (Raph-chan too) and Ethnobalt actually has some pretty good support skills. His “boat” is more of a ship and his shikigami creating skill is pretty handy. I guess he’s like this world’s version of Filo in the sense that he’s a giant talking animal.

I’ve been enjoying exploring the world during these past few eps. It’s kind of interesting just learning about the culture and the political situations of this world. I’m eager to see what happens next week since they’re basically heading deeper into enemy territory.

so Raphtalia missing stats and a new vessel hero of the katana ... why does it feel like Raphtalia has become a vassel hero.

but how can a visitor from another world become a vassel hero?
did she touch a blade of the Vassel Katana?
a goddess fly down from heaven and grant it to her?

that is if she even is a Vassel Hero.

New world means crazy things can happen in Naofumi's UI, right?

Ethnobalt is the same as Filo in this world. Hence why Filo can’t have the same spirit form and turned into a regular bird. Naofumi was ready to kill anyone to save filo and that trait about him is why I love his character. A little concerned about what could possibly happened to raphtalia and if something bad happened to her I could just imagine the hell Naofumi will release!

Immense relief seeing Naofumi rescue Filo. He at least got one back in this episode. That canned Kyo is still being an absolute asshat, sending both Filo and Raphtalia off in wild directions away from Naofumi. Even after saving Kizuna for them Naofumi gets the same treatment from her country as he did from his own. Building up that hate inside himself on top of his hatred for Kyo. Only good thing to come from going there was meeting Ethnobolt, a good guy and very useful. Having his fast travel boat from the vassal weapon he has and being able to create that shikigami for Naofumi. That way he can know if Raphtalia is safe as long as the shikigami is ok. Glad that Naofumi, Rishia and Kizuna were right there where Filo was being held. I was with Naofumi on wanting to kill that piece of shit where he stood, even Rishia agreed but better to sneak in later. Submitting that filth to mind torture seems like a just course of action all things considered. Saving Filo in the process and a heartfelt reunion. I teared up when she asked Naofumi if he would ever disappear again, cuddling with him the whole time to sleep. One down one to go, need to find Raphtalia at that snow castle.

Damm Filo sure ended up in the hands of a creepy looking dude. But man Chris is just adorable. The process of creating a shikigami was pretty cool. The result was pretty cute. Using Filo's suffering as a means to turn a profit that slaver really is despicable. But im soo glad that they managed to get Filo back. After that ordeal seeing her bond so easily with Kizuna and Chris was really nice. From the looks of things though they changed the part of Raphtalia going missing with Filo when they entered this world everything else is still the same. And annoying as it is for LN readers having her stay with Naofumi until the hourglass raid actually ended up making the narrative much more interesting so its a change that i actually like. On the other hand what is it with nobles and their overwhelming desire to harm others for personal gain don't they have something better to do with their lives sheesh.

No way was this 20 minutes, it was over in a flash.

Enjoyed this episode a lot glad that they at least found Filo chan. Seeing Filo just lodged to Naofumi like glue the whole time was heartwarming to see, Filo suffered a lot, we can't even imagine how relieved she must be after getting back with Naofumi.

Raph chan is really cute, Chris as well.

They at least confirmed for us that Raphtalia is alive in that post-credit, she's been taken to somewhere, wonder where that is, looks really far TBH.

Just 3 more episodes left, looking forward to how this season ends, we don't have to worry about more episodes, we should get Season 3 soon I think.

5/5.

A Fairly better episode.. This arc feels a lot more refreshing than the Big Ass turtle arc..

Seeing Filo-chan was painful but glad she got saved.. we heard a new OST in middle..

Raph chan is here huh.. guess it makes sense why people were worrying so much.. It would be a damn shame we never got to see such an adorable character..

Finally Filo! Missed her.

Raphtalia's shikigami was cute, but not as cute as she is. Ethnobalt's real form was cool though, I am a sucker for rabbits as cliche as that sounds.

Rishia has grown as a character, the only great thing about this season.

Seeing Filo in the situation she was in was depressing as hell, but I'm glad that Naofumi and his group rescued her and put the scumbag owner in his place, too. =)

Kizuna's shikigami, Chris, was pretty cute and it was nice to have Ethnobalt (I like his rabbit form) help Naofumi make his own shikigami in a form of a raccoon. Raph-chan was the perfect name for the cute creature, obviously.

While Filo is now save with Naofumi, getting Raphtalia back looks likely to be a tougher challenge to overcome, not helped by the added mention of a katana hero. Going by the post-credit scene, I assume that where Raphtalia is being taken might be where the katana hero lives. Either way, I look forward to seeing what happens next.

after episode 8 things just get messy... though the main villain in this season is sneaky but something seemingly undefeated i found it to be ridiculous however the storyline of Naofumi journey are very entertaining, at last Filo is back in this episode after a long absence in the show but all is well... moreover Raftalia is not in this episode, i'd say its a very suspense/tension of what going to happen in the episode 10. overall this episode was fantastic, i like to finished this season so that i know, is it good like its predecessor (season 1) which i really praised.

Ah yes so this is how they patch up the difference from their candid work, got to say it's actually not too bad, many were probably freaked out and raged when lolitalia was in there 2 episodes ago, but all of the sudden things are looking good now xD

And yes finally the introduction of raph chan-chan best grill into the series! RAFU!




also pretty interesting that naofumi was actually able to still see raphtalia's stats in there

So they skipped the part of how they escaped with Filo and just let the criminal have a little taste of that lion shield? It felt very unsatisfying :/ I'm very glad Naofumi freed Filo from that nightmare. It was very hard to watch those thugs treat Filo like trash. Unforgivable!



Raph-chan is the cutest shikigami tanuki I've ever seen, well I've already know from the manga but it's one of those smallest things you can just stare like forever and let the heart melt from cuteness! <3

Oh boy, they totally rushed it again...
One of the highlights of this episode should have been Naofumi snapping and torturing the people holding Filo hostage. And Raph-chan joining in on the fun.
But the studio made the scene family-friendly and it was over in 30 seconds...
That's not enough time for a highly emotional scene!
In comparison the scene in S1 when he lost to Motoyasu and thought he lost Raphtalia for good was over 5 minutes long.
Unlike season 2, season 1 didn't have a 'speedrun' tag under the genres!

Other problems with this episode:
- It's mentioned that people around them can't understand Rishia because she speaks a different language than this world's language. But somehow in a previous scene people didn't have a problem understanding her when she spoke.
- Raphtalia can't knock out 1 guard, or run away from him. Meanwhile she was soloing 20 in the previous episode.
- When Raphtalia got captured Kyo mentioned he's going to experiment on her. But instead of using the dragon hourglass to teleport her, they're taking her in a carriage to a totally different place than the lab. The studio shot itself in the foot by changing Naofumi's and Raphtalia's separation from the LN. Now they can't write her back in a logical manner into the story, only with plot holes.
- In episode 8 Filo's status screen showed "Humming Fairy". Episode 9 it showed "Filorial".

Raph-Chan is by all intends and purposes Naofumi and Raphtalia's child lol, I like a lot that world, it is a shame Naofumi wasn't summoned there, it has better races, better characters, the heroes seem at the very least interesting and I love the fact that a lot of those Vassal weapons and more like tools, not necessarily for fight but they have their uses, it makes them really interesting just how Kizuna used hers to attack humans with an indirect approach, although looking at the wiki I guess I'm confusing some actual legendary weapons and vassal weapons, translation should have been vassal tools if it were up to me.

And man, it can't be said enough but that damn turtle arc, they should have made it like an ova or something like it, it harmed season 2 so much, I know it lead to them traveling but idk they should had come up with a way to shorten it as much as possible instead, 3 episode max.

She is in chains and doesn't have her weapon. How do you propose she knocks out a guard?
You know the torturing can come like a week or two form now right? Just because Kyo wants to make Raphtalia his plaything, it doesn't mean he had the time for it right at the moment. Kyo could summon her whenever he wants. The place he is taking her is meant to be very secure because it prevents the use of powers there.
