Lol, safe to say that they solved their transportation problem especially with Firo on their side now.

I think Firo is really polite which makes easy to get along with. She can even use abilities too! So much for those guys trying to rob them on the road lol. Pretty much an episode of adventuring with this trio. Looks like they discovered quite a dangerous monster and got into a fight with it. But good thing teamwork wins!

While he does get other allies, Firo and Raph are always by his side usually.

That is true but there are also some who have no power at all, for example Iris Zero, the main character, instead it has no strength and is different from the others.

Trading, delivering, transporting, hunting, healing, crafting gemstone and lowkey bounty hunter... Naofumi got many jobs, and though they may be tedious, it's nice to experience these

Naofumi ended up looting the bandits instead! That shit got me laughing my ass off XD

Alright, so in this ep, Naofumia and his party, including the witch went out to do some small dungeon diving to get the gemstone needed to spin the mana thread. And in the end the trouble is well worth it, not only did Firo got an outfit that won't rip when she transforms, the outfit she got is so cute, even Naofumi approved of it! It's adorable how Raphtalia is slightly jealous at Firo for getting more attention from Naofumi.

Raphtalia is like a daughter to Naofumi... Hmmmn...

Firo is such a wholesome little girl :'') That dressmaker was literally me xDD

Really enjoyed seeing Naofumi make nice connections with people and really get his trade merchant job off of the ground, he really deserved to have this form of happiness and chemistry with his team

That battle against the Nue (That gave me mad Boruto vibes lol) was pretty cool too....Also, imma need Naofumi to start looking at best girl Raph-chan as a grown woman

Call me edgy but I still love the fact that he hasn't been 100% converted into a goody-two-shoes protagonist like in all other isekai anime. He's still somewhat questionable, cynical and bitter, and I think it does his character a great service. Firo and Raph's little rivalry was also cute as hell.

I am loving all the Raphtalia pouts and blushes. <3

I laughed when they got to the open chest and there was meant to be a magic seed in it. Spear Hero used a magic seed to save a village.

So let me guess.. did Motoyasu took the cursed seed and give it to the village that he saved? Lol.

Filo is sooooo cute! Naofumi's just suddenly become a father overnight hahaha! I love that they've made Naofumi unlike other isekai heroes, like the fact that he doesn't do things for free or that he doesn't stick to the laws of their world and such.

There was a lot to that episode but i think it had good passing and i think the score they used really stood out. The manga was shyly different but i don't think that takes away from the anime. I think i actually prefer it. Roll on episode 7..

Pacing is a bit faster than I expected similar to last episode, but it keeps most of the important stuff and I think the anime does a better job than the manga explaining how Naofumi's reputation spread and how he gained some of his skills.

Well, I actually notice that in the last episode, however, with the new one I could relate easily. What you guys think? The behavior of Naofumi and Raphatalia doesn't resemblance a little with Lawrence's and Holo? You know, with that merchant negotiation and stuff...
PS: I also wanted to know about your predictions, manly related with this topic, although, predictions about the whole story is also welcome (pls, no spoilers).

Firo is cute and all and I can overlook that they spent an episode to organize her an functional outfit, but I thought it wasn't really necessary to include a dressmaker gushing all over her. It's welcomed in series like Wataten or Uzamaid.

I wish Shield Hero would be a bit more ambitious, nevertheless, I still enjoy it for what it is.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

I think this might have been my favourite episode of this series thus far cause we're away from this contrived plotline and instead focus on character centred adventuring.

Filo is a fun addition to the party so far and I hope she'll manage to bring some interesting developments, also she's adorable! Now please Shield Hero continue like this while slowing down on the pacing a bit and u will win my heart over!

I love that the bat shield was a big arm mounted magical megaphone, that's decently creative.

There's something doubly wholesome and also cynical about this show that really gels with me. You got Naofumi being a nice dad/big brother to Raphtalia and Filo, taking care of them and getting some earnest trade going in a nice little wagon.

And on the other hand you've got him threatening to feed bandits to his bird, stealing their stuff and hearing his 'allies' voices talking about backstabbing him whilst killing a Nue. This is a sweet blend they got going for sure.

Oh, a miraculous crop and a seed to stop famine that's been stolen from a temple? Can't wait to see how that turns out. I think we're at the point where all three other 'heroes' need a good slap in the chops.

I really enjoyed tiny Filo but HUGE FLUFFY Filo is amazing. And her loli form is precious too. I love that her ribbon stays when she transforms! Even Naofumi couldn't resist saying how cute she was with that new outfit.

"We pray this seed never makes it out of here. It is a horribly twisted manifestation of our wish to for nobody to starve"... and Motoyasu gave that starving village a legendary new crop eh?

Technically he didn't steal their stuff. They gave him their stuff in exchange for their lives. So, a trade. A commodity for a commodity. Just like the merchant said. Therefore not stealing. Therefore, a hero and totally not a bad guy. XD

Today there were many positive events in this episode, which is a pleasure after all the hatred that Naofumi had to go through.
Firo turned out to be a great acquisition to the party of Naofumi, she is very fast, an excellent fighter, she has magic affinity and most importantly, she is irresitibly adorable (at last I knew that Firo's voice is from the V.A who did Millim's voice).
The quest to get clothes for Firo was great, Naofumi earned the reputation as the "Saint of the holy bird" and he gain new skills thanks to the merchant he saved.
I also loved the ability of Raphtalia to become invisible.
The encounter with the thieves was funny, they were easily defeated and then they said they were going to spread false rumors of Naofumi, but they did not count that the hero of the shield is very cruel, so in the end he take away all their treasures in exchange for not being Firo's food and their silence.
The fight with the Nue was great, the monster looked fierce, but Firo, Raphtalia and the lady magician managed to eliminate the Nue, the kick that Firo gave the Nue was epic.
Firo is beautiful with her new dress, the dressmaker is a genius that knew how to extract the maximum of Firo's cuteness.
Another thing that I love about this episode is the chemistry of Raphtalia and Firo, both fight the love of Naofumi and are very jealous, besides Raphtalia is so cute when she is jealous, her pout face is too adorable.

and news that nobody cares, The idiot of the spear just ruined the life of a town, after seeing the chest with the warning of the "cursed seed", Mal-bitch is an excellent helper.

Wow, Al-Khazneh made a cameo this episode. A lot of postives this time compared to last week.
"You talk too much. Think too much."
"I don't care how justified you think your reasons are. I won't tolerate liars or thieves."
"If you're not going to be nice to me, don't expect me to be nice to you."
"I'm a soldier, not a superhero. Don't ever think of me as one."
"The world doesn't revolve around you. Get that through your thick skull."

As an anime only: I'm going to call it bets here that Spear guy doesn't know the true origins of the seed since it was given to him by the princess.
Next episode will be him protesting in innocence when the seed curse does it's job (so Shield can go slap some sense in him)

Things I liked this episode:

*Raphtalia's awesome Matrix dodge when the Nue attacked her while stealthed.
*Raphtalia covering her ears on top of her head.

Other than that... wow this is really seeming rushed. It bounces from plot point to plot point at breakneck speed, and all of them seem less important as a result. Like, this is the first episode Firo's spent as a human, gonna spend time on that? No, we'll just jump straight in to sidequests. Hey, Raphtalia's feeling jealous that Naofumi's attention is being taken away from her, any time on that? No, we'll just go cave exploring for five minutes. Voices playing on the character's distrust and fear - going to expand on Raphtalia's jealousy, or show Naofumi's trauma? No, we'll just have literally one glance and a 'never mind' and never mention it again.

I mean, it's still not a bad show. But I'm enjoying it less and less each week.
