This adaptation is so trash and full of plot holes!!
- Fohl is high level and strong Colisseum fighter, worth 120 gold coins. 10 minutes later gets captured by a random slaver.
- Anime Naofumi is stupid. He leaves the village unguarded. He doesn't need a full party to negotiate a trade route, he can do it on his own...
- LN Naofumi is smart. He started leveling up the kids the moment he bought them. They were so strong they could beat the slavers from the anime and capture them on their own without help.
The studio is doing everything it can to not develop the side characters and minimize the world building...

| @Playcool yup Don,t misss the current season |

| The twin white tigers has joined Naofumi's party, some bandit doing bandit stuff and defeated, some more backstory about the king Thrash (I gotta he might getting a redemption) and they found Motoyasu, next one gonna be interesting |
| I don't know which of the manga or the anime is closer to the original story, but I find the manga to be much more interesting in its writing than this adaptation. They almost completely removed all the part about the young slaves and how they become stronger. The result is that while in the manga it's the slaves who defend themselves against the slavers, here they are powerless and it's still the heroes that need to come to save the day. In the manga, it's Raphtalia who suggests to sell the slavers as slaves, while she has not part in the anime at all on this topic. As a general rule, this adaptation erase most events or stories concerning the secondary characters. In other words, it's a bad adaptation. I guess there's no point in keeping watching it. Dropped. |

Shield Hero continues to give huge amounts of money to slavers making them more powerful.
His town gets attacked by weak slavers who know at best they'd be tracked down and killed, because that is what people do in really stupid shows.
Signal flare is hidden away making it inconvenient as possible to use... because that makes sense in really stupid shows.
Literally every scene in this series is dumb.

| Every scene in this episode was dumb, the series in general nah. Otherwise you literally said word for word on what's wrong with this episode. Naofumi felt so out of character this episode. The dude is smarter than this and would never leave the village with one guard if he didn't think the kids were strong enough. Selling the slave traders to slave traders? Anime Naoufumi always felt more like big talk but was actually pretty merciful. He didn't kill trash or slut despite them making his life a living hell. He saw someone cared about them so he spared them, and instead gave them embarrassing names. Why couldn't he do something similar to these slave kidnappers. Just demand compensation plus interest by the queens orders. Also if he was serious about supplying the slavers with more slaves why didn't Raphtalia speak up about how Naoufumi shouldn't do that. She knows what its like being a slave and this moment could further develop her character of being Naoufumi's right hand man. Always guiding him to make the best/moral decisions. You know slavery is bad and it shouldn't be supported. I've seen other replies to your comment and I gotta say people hate legitimate criticism its ridiculous. |
| Hahaha he sold the slavers and got paid for it. Win-Win. |
 |
| Yeah why Naofumi keep giving more money to the Slave trader instead of just destroying the whole slave system? Buying them out is not the solution LMAO Bruhh this is so stupid. |

| Well his party is going and he is really mixing it up now. I wonder if he'll get an archer and healer as Naofumi lacks that. |

| @Sokah I have a lot of issues with series but that's not one of them but it is a fair point to bring up that Naofumi is kind of enabling the slavers. |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |
| Damn... the anime has officially made the manga obsolete. I didn't want to read the light novels, but I guess that's the only way if I want to be up to date. |
| Good job, way better than last season! |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| naofumi so smart !! he can find a new loli waifu tigress = atla !! atla is more like raphtalia version 2 = type attacker |
| I can't believe all of that happen in one single episode lmao - it just went SO fast. I guess the point was to better present Atla and company, it just felt a little bit weird. (Still better than the whole Season 2, mind you) |
 » Escapism. |
| Fohl and Atla's moment were kinda cute, this anime introduce one very likeable character per season I feel. But to the other part, I still have the same problem with Naofumi's moral... |
| Actually a pretty good episode. The series is slightly redeemed from the shitshow that was season 2 |
 |
| Naofumi should buy enough slaves to host a tournament whereafter the audience would place their bets. Then he'd profit off of match-fixing and he'd free even more slaves |
| 2 White Tigers to add to Naofumi's ever increasing crew to battle to Phoenix, this gonna be good |

| @curvedtree Problem being, the LN has been on hold since 2019 I believe: https://shield-hero.fandom.com/wiki/Light_Novel_Volume_22 So even if you go with the LN, you will be forced to switch again if you want to conclude the story, to go for the WN. |

| @_Doraemon_ I already finished S2 yesterday and got on track with S3 today. Since I binge-watched, guess I will use this to comment on it so far. I was expecting the pacing for S3 to be less rushed than it was for S2, and it is, but I still prefer the pace of S1 than this one. Whoever, the direction is doing a good job of making it feel like disjointed, tons of things they did skip were minor stuff, and whenever it is something they should not speak, you kinda get a flashback. This is what I recall from my memories, been too long since I read these volumes. Episode 1 I liked how they introduced mid fight media-res, then going back, but I was surprised and disappointed that at the end of ep2 and we are already at the end of volume 10! These decisions were made, probably to give more time for the whole redemption of heroes arc they have going, the thing is I never felt it was that good of an arc, so again, whatever. Aside from Atlas reveal, what I wanted to see more, they already fucked up with season 2, so next it would be volume 15, but we would need another season to get there, kinda strange they are hyping that fight already when it should be toward the end of a possible S4. Well whatever, I rushed through to see Atlas animated and the direction of S3 is really good so far, but I hope they eventually slow down this pacing! |

| @Sokah Weak slavers attack because he is far away from his village More precisely 2 days journey back if he don't have wrap portal and the slavers doesn't know about the wrap portal For more information if the slaver sold the slaves of that villlage there is no way shield can track the slaves, even if he track it there is no way they gave the slaves for free This part need Money and shield doesn't have any enough money Understand one more thing that the slave leader is not your NPC but former solider |

| @Yaggamy 1. Fohl can't solo everyone. Especially that leader ( former solider ) + those other bandit is enough for restrict Fohl 2. raftalia is far better in peddling than naofumi. If he goes for solo trade ..... Make no sense about the village being unguarded. Besides Ginger is still stationed on that village even though she is slow she has enough sword skill as ren ( far better than ren ) 3. Anime original nothing can do about it + in LN bandit attack happens after levelling but this happens within atla recovery part make Sense |

The start of the season is very weak, I hope it improves soon.
| @Softs Never Compare the starting of Season 1 to this season Sequels especially isekai ones cannot have the same momentum of starting episodes If this is considered as weak better try more words to criticize in next episodes |
|
| name a better duo than Tate no and slavery , good slave that's gonna grow strong yes fake slaves? no! slavers attack my animal crossing village which i left defenseless after pointing out how weak it is currently can't kill em might as well sell them off as slaves -Naofumi guess the biggest improvement this season was the music and animation lol |

| @curvedtree Yes but you would want to wait forever to the writer to finally stop writing his shitty hentai and go back to finish this? When he goes back to finish, eventually one could read the newer volumes, and be even able to compare to the WN. I m tired on waiting on the writer to get his stuff together and finish it, so this is what I will do. |

| @Sokah I would this an uber-genius like you would find something more stimulating to watch like the Transformers. |
| Typical shield hero with slaves suffering and Naofumi being the very face of slave rights and protection ministry, saving them. Now after racoon and a bird, we've white tigers(rare entity) in our party too.. very diverse party I must say. |
