  • The Rising of the Shield Hero has surprisingly taken my interest this season, despite it being an isekai, a genre I first hated, has now swapped my stance because of one single incredible character that is a breath of fresh air for it’s genre and hopefully will inspire more to com.

      Unfortunately, so far, (MINOR SPOILERS HERE)
      You ready?
      Naofumi's shield attacks (bashing, countering with shields that have no counter attack effect), and his own hand to hand attacks, do next to no damage simply because he's the Shield Hero. But yeah, he could definitely get all Cappy with it, there's no say in that his attacks don't stun or anything. Just that they don't do any damage.

      I like this one a lot because we’re usually seeing other Isekais where the OP Characters just gets everything handed to them and some of the Ladies are just too easy/act easy. Naofumi on the other hand is earning everything from the ground up. He’s a victim of the Racist Religion of the 3 Heroes, and if I was in his Shoes...I would’ve just traveled to another Country, befriend the Monarchs there and convince them to invest in me to help save the World while getting stronger there cuz who the hell wants to deal with constant Negativity and Dishonest People? But as the Story unfolds more and more, I keep rethinking that Naofumi staying was for the best cuz now a lot more things are going his way...in a very satisfying way to be honest. I am psyched for whenever Season 2 comes out because I’m sure that’s when Naofumi will be outdoing the other 3 Heroes in every way possible. Money, Well-Earned Hero Status, a Merchant to help him stand on his feet, a Gifted Healer, and I’m sure he’ll have a lot more Honorable Women(Harem) around him compared to the Spear Hero.

    I'm something of an isekai junkie, but I won't deny that the genre is filled with a *lot* of stinkers.
    The thing is, though, isekai is a storytelling _tool,_ and a very useful one at that. It gives the author a way to organically change the entire rules of the world and naturally exposit worldbuilding. The problem is that people usually use it as a checkbox to tick while they try to appeal to the lowest common denominator instead of doing anything new.
    Come to think of it, the current isekai genre is more or less a paintjob of that era of garbage harem anime from years ago, isn't it?
    Anyway, a good isekai has always been more than worth the goldpanning search to me, and I'm not worried about future developments in the genre. Like oil in water, a good story regardless of its genre will naturally rise to the surface in this era of information technology and powerful word-of-mouth.

    • @WavyHaise
      @WavyHaise  5 років тому +13

      It's also an easy way to get out exposition, instead of just fantasy, in isekai the character can be just as clueless as the viewer himself so we explore the world together with said character. Konosuba was also a good isekai, but that's just ironic when it makes fun of the genre.

      just like horror is a good genre, not all horror is good. I honestly hate it when people talk like liking Isekai is a bad thing when literally thats one of the best genre and story telling device out there.

    There are a few isekai protagonists like naofumi, protagonists that got similar bad deals, but managed to rise above it, but he probably fit the role best.
    I remember one isekai, where the healer class was the one discriminated against, and the healer from another world was forced into a drug addiction by a character similar to Myne...
    The character lost his sense of self and became a drug lapdog to the girl.
    He eventually came to his senses, used his healing magic to reverse time and gain revenge on her.
    Another isekai was a spin off to shield hero, making the spear hero the protagonist. It was basically groundhog day, with a traumatized eccentric version of him.

    • @themorebeer3072
      @themorebeer3072 5 років тому

      I think you're talking about Accel World there, but some of the details are off so I'm not sure. Healers weren't discriminated against, the skill was incredibly rare and highly coveted. The healer was a girl. Drugs weren't involved. The villain used his unique power of skill theft on the protagonist to claim his unique ability of flight. She served the villain to get the chance to use her "healing" power on him, so she could revert time far enough back to undo the original theft.
      The groundhog day isekai was probably Re: Zero.

    Tragedy can add depth to a character and a story. However, when it gets to the point that it becomes an end rather than a means, you wind up turning that character into a Gary Stu. And that's unfortunately what happens in Shield Hero. They focus so much on how unfair Naofumi's situation is and how much more he suffers than any other character that it becomes the whole point of the story.

    There's some choices of changes in the narrative between the manga and the anime that I both like and don't like, but overall both are great experiences to go through, it's a unique kind of story we haven't seen in quite a long while and I enjoy some of the twists and turns in the manga that I hope to see in video.

    I love Naofumi as a character. He's one of the best examples of the hero that a world needs, but doesn't deserve. He immediately captures your attention as either a viewer or a reader because of his situations and his plights, making him a character that you always constantly root for. In my case, to the point that I don't trust many of the other characters that appear because Naofumi's frame of mind is so well explained and justified.

    Did you ever hear the tragedy of Naofumi the heroic?
    I thought not. It's not a story the three heroes church would tell you. It's a demi-human legend. Naofumi was the shield hero, so powerful and so heroic he could use his hatred to influence the shield to deal damage… He had such a knowledge of the shield, he could even keep the ones he cared about from getting hurt.
    The curse series is a pathway to many shields some consider to be unholy.
    He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing raphtalia and filo, which eventually, of course, he didn’t. Fortunately, he taught his apprentices everything he knew, then his apprentices fought for him. Ironic. He had to have others deal damage for him, despite being a cardinal hero.

    If anything I feel that deep down when Naofumi saw Raphtalia I feel he saw a little bit of himself in her, someone who had been treated like shit in this world just for being who they were and I feel he felt that he could help her in the same way she could help him but in order to do that he needed to make her prove herself to him by making her confront her fears about the world in the same way he was and also to not take crap from anyone like when she stood up to the spear hero in episode 4 and confronted naofumi's dark thoughts at the end. In the end they both complete each other and gave each other a new perspective on life and that's the beauty of their tragedies.

    Consider that any other isekai protagonist would have given up, fallen into permanent despair, or committed suicide to escape their responsibilities if they were in the same position as Naofumi, yet Naofumi, either blinded by his good nature or his commitment to duty, not only continued to try and improve himself and those immediately around him, but also actively participated in fighting off the Waves, even before his name and title were cleared. Yes, his opening was tragic, but it's what he did with the tragedy and the feelings they forced on him that makes him a Hero.

    If buying a slave made Naofumi so bad then answer me this, why did he not only treat Raphtalia with kindness but also why did Raphtalia chose him over the spear hero if Naofumi was such a bad guy. Like you said, context matters and if people actually watch the series they would know that it's not a master slave in the horrific sense, as Naofumi puts it, more like she's a daughter to him, someone he can truly trust in this world and give him a ray of hope and sunshine after going through so much darkness. Also further prove that Naofumi is not a bad guy for buying a slave, at the start of episode five, Raphtalia gets the slave crest reinserted onto her. Naofumi didn't force her to do that, he didn't drag her kicking and screaming, she happily stated that SHE wanted to get it, not as a symbol of ownership, but as a symbol of trust that they had for one another and how they would always have each others back. So yeah, Naofumi did buy a slave, but at the end of the day it didn't make him a bad person, just someone who had hit the lowest of the low and had nothing else to lose and even after forcing her to confront her fears, Raphtalia still had his back because of just the kindness that Naofumi showed her.

    • @kingnamor7777
      @kingnamor7777 5 років тому

      Lasherluke They're many different forms of slavery. Cruelty, abuse, profit, protection or using a human being like a Slut/Hoe. In my opinion Neofumi is using Raccoon girl for means of protection. While also treating her with respect, love and care like any other human being. So Neofumi actions are pretty much okay. Because if he didn't save her. Raccoon girl would've ended up with a horrible and evil master.

    • @kingnamor7777
      @kingnamor7777 5 років тому

      I agree with everything you said. A lot of people misunderstand the situation and actions that Neofumi just done. Had he gave up or turned evil. Raphtalia would most likely be dead. If he didn’t buy her in the first place.

    • @Lasherluke
      @Lasherluke 5 років тому +1

      @@kingnamor7777 I agree, I just feel that people are just seeing it as a one sided way without actually watching the series. Like in the episode where he does buy Raphtalia at what point is he actually mean to her and I know they are going to bring up the slave crest thing, I actually saw it as him being firm and fair, like Naofumi knew that he needed to show Raphtalia the kind of world that they were in and I think he saw the potential in Raphtalia because unlike the other heroes who were treating the situation like a game, he treated the situation like this is real and he was like, this girl could be useful in terms of giving myself someone who couldn't betray me and someone who I can train, he even said that he would train Raphtalia up and despite his coldness, he's actually a very good instructor and Raphtalia becomes braver in the spam of only a few days. Yes he did say some quite harsh things, like saying he can just buy a new slave, but I feel that he said that as a test to see if she can truly fight as his sword and she proved herself to him time and time again, plus really after all he went through he needed someone like Raphtalia to get out of that darkness but at the same time Raphtalia needed someone to help her out of her darkness to. In many ways I feel that Naofumi weather he likes it or not saw a little bit of himself in Raphtalia and therefore trained her to not take crap from anyone like when she stood up to the spear hero in episode 4
