The Rising of the Shield Hero: Season 1

T

While The Rising of the Shield Hero technically comes to an end, it may actually be a new beginning.

In its penultimate episode, L’Arc and Therese reveal their true selves and Glass makes a long-awaited appearance.

What begins as just a regular day of defeating monsters and the Cardinal Heroes bickering turns into a stark realization.

Despite Naofumi’s name being cleared, there remains many issues keeping the Cardinal Heroes from being on the same page.

In pursuit of making things right with Naofumi, Queen Mirellia Q. Melromarc seems willing to go to drastic means that even disturb Naofumi.

As followers of the Pope die, so comes the question of whether or not one of the heroes may sacrifice themselves, Naofumi in particular, to save the rest?

As Pope Balmus attempts to eviscerate the Cardinal Heroes, a few surprises appear and we’re clued in that Naofumi may get some reinforcements.

The true mastermind behind Naofumi being harassed and treated like a social pariah reveals themselves to us.

As Fitoria presents her ultimatum, the other heroes may have walked into a trap.

Never mind the beasts from the last episode, all eyes are on the Filolial queen Fitoria.
