| Damn good episode. Nearly had the curse on the shield go off, but it did rage our minds. Bitch and its bitter dog should die like hell. Though I like Lance heroes the one in this show is by far the worst to come. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
kevin_video said: -Stray said: I wonder if they plan on Raph not having the slave curse anymore, but I think she will since either way they're going back to the slave dealer, manga part was more touching and genuine than anything. And in a way I felt a lot more impact on Nao's thoughts in the manga than the anime as well. Overall it was a good episode, was still able to piss me off even after knowing what's about to happen, the fight was also well animated hands down. I agree. Having read the manga I found it much more impactful than the anime. I would have also preferred an instrumental ending instead of the lyrical one we got. It pulled me out of the moment. As much as I respect and love Raph's va, that insert song did not help at all, I also got pulled out of the moment after hearing that, I mean I was expecting a song but I woulda preferred our normal ED song than the new insert one we got, I tried playing the ED together with their moment and it sat a lot better for me. |

Yep the original ED has more impact to this episode. |

| Hoping this 'Curse Series' is some sort of Armaggedon inducing shield of ultimate devastation that allows Naofumi the power to rip that dickhead Spear hero's head off, and punch Myne straight in the stomach. That, or some sort of 'Kingslayer' shield for.. well.. it's in the name: Kicking that sentient turd King straight in his royal balls. |
| It felt rushed but neithertheless best episode so far. Plan of the villains really backfired. |
aa_bumi said: I cant really enjoy this episode, that cursed kingdom need a meteor of justice above their city. not just the king and his family even all royal is rotten. at least, the bow, sword keep their righteousness. something off is why are they being so evil for no reason? threatening people who use slave while legalized slavery (even put a tax on it maybe), victimized a hero who help them? what are they gain? they need 4 hero to face the up coming wave and now they want him dead? There's a very good reason for why he's victimized the way he is, but unfortunately it's going to be a long time before the audience finds out. Like volume 4-5 of the manga long time. |

Lelouch0202 said: Great episode. The fight was cool. Though I recall that in the WN, he was actually consumed in flames in the real world too by the curse series or maybe it was always in his head. Love how they showed how Naofumi still thinks of Raphtalia as a kid in his mind and then he was finally able to see her. Anyway, this is the scene that made me love Raphtalia so much. <3 She's very loyal to Naofumi and if I recall correctly she even told Naofumi that she'd become his slave again if that's what it means to gain his trust back. The day will come when those who deserve it will get what's coming to them. yeah that part with him thinking her as a kid still earlier on was throwing me off but this episode clarified it for me. Also thank god he got justice against that asshole and bitch. The king can also shove it up his ass as well |

Didn't read the manga, but I'm glad they didn't end this episode with her asking for the curse back. It would have made it seem like the other hero was right and that she was experiencing stockholm syndrome or at least shown that to the other heroes who are likely familiar with the concept. Her being there of her own free will (no curse) is a much more satisfying ending to (what I assume is the end) his social pariah status and the start of his "reputation redemption" arc. I rather enjoyed this episode and can't wait for more. |
| Damn great episode again! Kill everyone and protecc Raph, Naofumi-sama! |
 |
| The way they make almost all characters be this much unlikeable is making it impossible to even enjoy the anime for me, but from what I've read this should be the end of LN vol. 1, so hopefully they'll tone it down a bunch in the upcoming arcs. |
| Raphtalia is still adorable as an adult Melty is a bitch that needs to die They skipped the kiss and 'do you like chubby girls' scene...Damnit |
You better sit away from the screen, it's gonna happen many times...... |

HDVision said: all of them are rotten to the core, the king, the nobles, amn their all fucking rotten, seriously fuck them, the Bow and the Sword hero was able to tell that all of them were lying and had been told to keep their mouth shot by the king and seriously fuck that bitch princess as wellI fuckin hate this kingdom. With passion. |

Veldora_Tempest said: it was all in his min, afterall he still sees her as a ki up until that time that she couldn't even tell who Raphtalia was, that's why he was saying the town was full of lolicons and also where he says Raphtalia betrayed her, it's because it's all in his mind and still sees Raphtalia as a loli version of herselfCan someone tell me if the part where Raphtalia broke her slave pact was real or if it was just all in Naofumi mind? |
| 2nd best episode after 1st one.. Almost gave me tears. Also raphtalia's character development is going great too.. 5/5 for this episode . 9/10 for the series so far can't believe 2 of the greatest isekais are airing together |
| This episode was so annoying. All the hate he gets is way too onesided. King and co are portrayed as objectively evil with no redeeming qualities. I don't like that. On the other hand I'm really happy there was finally some progress. Other two guys calling spear hero on his BS, Raph speaking up for Naofumi, him getting his taste back. Yeah, it can still go good way. Tho I totally expected him to go berserk there and kill someone. Would be fun tbh. |

It really happened. Naofumi thought she was a traitor because until now he didn't truly trust her. He thought if she didn't have her slave pact than she would leave him. She wasn't the one that broke it though, they forced it on her. And she reaffirmed to him that slave pact or no slave pact she would continue to be by his side. |
Ryuketsuna said: One of the maddest if not the maddest i have ever been watching an anime scene since idk how longThis ep make you guys angry like the HELLLLL |

| This episode was a emotional roller coaster but ended so well. |

And the ED fits with that moment thematically, as well. I was a little disappointed that they didn't go with the ED because the lyrics would make sense in the context of Raph comforting Naofumi. |
| Raphtalia delivered one pretty good this episode, but the slap machine has a lot to work yet! |
| Never have I become so angry while watching an anime episode. Holy fuck can we just kill the red hair bitch and the damn King. The king is a scoundrel, I wanted Naofumi to slaughter his entire kingdom right that moment. I mean seriously what a shitty kingdom. If I was the Shield hero I would have said screw it I'm done, handle the waves yourself if you don't like me. |

| I always hated this part of the series as it was way too cruel on Naofumi as he really didn't deserve all that commotion and "official fight" for a stupid curse while the country allows slaves without any real problem... in the end the anime really did its best to bring this part the shine it deserves showing us whole-hearted scenes and a badass way to destroy Motoyasu's idea of the shield hero being powerless! The next episode, called "Filo", is my most hyped and waited part tho! To anyone saying that they want the victimization of Shield Hero-sama to end now, I'll just say: "Ahaha, you know nothing Jon Snow" |

| Boy, the dramatic scene sure overextended its welcome. I keep thinking "manga did it better" over and over again. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| I dont want that fucking bitch dead, I want her to be tortured and be made useful. I hope she becomes a slave to an abusive master or better yet to Naofumi hahaha! Death is too kind of a punishment for bitches like that. |

See mate, that's exactly what I said after first episode. There is a REAL threat to their whole world, one that will destroy whole kingdom, as in, they die. They actually die, they're not video game characters. And then they treat one of the prophesied heroes, one of the mandatory heroes to succeed in saving their own skins, like the biggest piece of shit. It is so incredibly annoying it's really reducing my enjoyment for the show. As if he's not nerfed enough by not being able to attack and no one wanting to be in his party (another bullshit, but hey), he also has to be constantly treated like shite to hammer the point these people are idiots. Now, some people commented it's only going to get worse and there's actual reason for that. To each his own I guess, I can't really enjoy a show where almost no one has an ounce of brain. |
anesubt said: Are we forgetting that ALL THE HEROES except the shield KNOW ABOUT THIS GAME AND ITS STORY but somehow forgot all about the manipulating King and Princess, was that something just so conveniently left out of their games/book? They always know about everything but then don't when it matters. This is going to be the most glaring tragedy of whatever story theyre trying to build. Um I dont think their summoned into the same game they played before...Im not sure but I recall them telling each other the games they played and it was different from each other, I think one played a vr game and one just mmo. |
| So...Raphtalia best girl of the season confirmed? Anyway, very good ep, the peak of the series imo |
| Raphtalia is the new Rem |
 |
| By far the best Isekai I've ever seen so far. (still not even for reasons that have anything to do with it being an isekai, please go back to making normal fantasy series japan) Both the praise and criticism of the show are irking me a little, it's so good that I can't helped be annoyed at the people who can watch an episode like this and only have the usual "hurrdurr <seasonal> best girl" takeaway. The criticism.. it's just getting pathetically bad at this point, people are desperate to hate this series. Mattinator95 said: I thought they said they (think ) are in similar game world with the same old hero summoned to save the world story . I must have missed something Yeah they said a similar world, but it's not like they came from singleplayer RPGs (at least 1-2 were MMOs iirc?) with pre-defined stories nor are they living out a pre-defined story. This is another case of someone who already hates the series trying to invent an excuse to justify it. |
Natsuki_Hyundai said: Well the worst arc of the series is out of the way, but we're still not out of the woods yet. Raphtalia best girl, and this is without a doubt of the strongest arcs, and one of my favorites at least. Mod Edit: Modified quote of edited post. Mod Edit: Added spoiler tags; please hide plot details. |

| I want to fking murder that B*tch. Arghhhhh. |
| I never read manga and I do not know what will happen in this anime, but I speculate the shield has some sort of curse on it. Someone is purposely victimizing the shield hero to activate the curse. There must be some sort of twist and the puppet master is somehow manipulating the King. If I am right, don't tell me because that would be a spoiler. |
 |
| Next episode is titled 'filo' but that seems much too soon for her. Shouldn't she be appearing episode 6 at the earliest? |
