I can't do anything about how they spend their money but tbh it doesn't affect me in any way other than possibly subsidizing something I actually want to watch. However opening twitter to look at cats and BL and finding SH posts instead was annoying!! I had to put words on mute to get rid of it :mad:

It's amusingly painful to see how far we can stretch the definition of isekai but the Japanese definition works.

Basically. A lot of the apocryphal biblical stories about when Jesus was a child wouldn't be out of place in some isekai.

Even if you don't watch anything else. At least watch the latest episode. It's a glorious trainwreck showing everything wrong with this series.

1. Shield Hero is at the celebration party but acts like a little kid and does nothing to help fix his image.
2. Shield Hero gets dragged into a 1 on 1 match vs Spear Hero. Who is egged on by the princess who for some reason isn't done loving with Shield Hero and now wants to take his slave partner away.
3. Slave Girl gets captured and hold against her will, she was showing agency of her own, so clearly she is under some kind of control spell.
4. Princess interferes with the match and starts laughing, yet nobody bats an eye.
5. Spear Hero points out that forcing slaves to fight is wrong. This is portrayed as a bad thing.
6. Slave Girl points out that he only used the painful force ability whenever she was too afraid to fight. RED FLAG! RED FLAG!
7. Slave Girl gets her slave seal removed and lashes out at Spear guy, telling him that if he's truly a good guy like Shield Hero, he would have also had a slave by his side. Wait what?
8. Princess starts acting like a huge racist rear end in a top hat, but no-one seems to care, not even these Isekai heroes who previously stated that they should be better than the people of the world they got send to.
9. Slave Girl tries to talk Shield Hero, is genuinely nice to him. But he lashes out anyways. Bitching about no matter how hard he tried, nobody likes him. So she gives him a motherly embrace by putting his head in her tits.
10. This causes Shield Hero to no longer see her as a young kid, but as a more grown up person (who still has the mind of a child, I'm not letting that one go)
11. The other 2 Isekai heroes show up and point out the obvious cheating that happened during the match. The king and princess who thus far have been able to force everyone in going along with their plans, don't bother doing so now and instead just walk away.
12. People still hate Shield Hero
13. But he now likes the taste of food.

Oh and all the while, this beautiful soothing music plays, telling the braindead fans of this show to feel emotional about the things that are happening.

And next episode he gets a chicken loli! And after restoring Slave girls slave seal, he also forces one on the chicken loli!


Like I said before, Shield Hero is a boring sludge of a series, but every now and then it spikes heavily into the what the hell were they thinking territory.

I felt...Dizzy when I finished reading all of that. Like I saw some images of it on Twitter criticizing the exact stuff you just said, but actually reading the whole thing made me feel a dizzying sensation. Like, what the gently caress did I just read? How is this an ongoing anime that's disturbingly popular?

I don't know what's wrong with 3.

7. was meant as why he doesn't free slaves if he actually cares for them. It seems Spear Hero only cared because Malty told him/Raccoon girl is cute. Still came across as weirdly worded.

making GBS threads on Shield Hero has been the whole series so far.

Yeah the people on my other thread said the same thing, but it still falls rather flat since honestly, neither is Naofumi.

Edit: I'm confused about 3.

Actually, it's more ridiculous than this. Not only does the Spear Hero call him out on slavery, the king of the country (which has legalized slavery to begin with) agrees with him. :psyduck:

Number 3 is that they conclude that she is not being controlled by the slave collar, but therefore standing up for a rapist like the Shield Hero, she must be under some form of stronger mind control.

Hold the phone goons. It turns out the entire thing was a plot to kill raccoon girl since Beastkin are considered "monsters" in that city/kingdom/wherever so unless she's someone's slave it would be legal to kill her. So Naofumi was totally in the right in keeping her a slave and the same goes for all his future slaves. :)

I am going entirely off of memory of a manga I read over a year ago, I am not watching this show because I have better things to read or watch.

Speaking of comedy, I recommend reading Sleeping Princess in Demon Lords castle for hijinks of a kidnapped princess being a bigger bother and threat to the demon lord than the Hero of the story, in her quest for perfect bedding and good naps.

Something about Shield Heroes always taking the side of the inhuman races and attempting to abolish slavery which fuels the cogs of the monarchy. I think?

At least nobody seems to like Shields much.

If that's so, why would they then be trying to free this slave girl, or be encouraging the other heroes to discourage slavery? The motivations don't make any sense.

Also why would they continue to be trying to destroy the only hero who is happily exploiting and enslaving demihumans.

Yeah ok. At this point the writers should just be exiled from the industry either because they're mind bogglingly incompetent or because they somehow actually believe that poo poo. I had a similar sense about the show after episode 2 but this really seals the deal.

What would be funny is if the next time a show like this came along, a someone bought exclusive rights to the show then refused to show it.

IIRC, the princess is a fragment of an evil goddess who's the story's main villain, and she's playing her dad, which is why he eventually gets redeemed and she... uhh... doesn't.
