Here's a deeper meaning: Raphtalia is walking hopelessly through shipwrecks. She has lost all hope after losing her parents that cared deeply for her. In the next shot Naofumi is walking in a barren wasteland with a red sky and dead trees, he has lost his trust in people because of the princess. Naofumi's shield sparkles which catches Raphtalia's eyes, she is awe struck of him and decides to go to him. The sky clears up from the red sky, both of the are embracing each other. Both of them have found hope and trust in each other. Raphtalia isn't afraid anymore and has found her reason to fight, to protect Naofumi. Naofumi has also found his lost trust in Raphtalia which is seen from his calm face when earlier he was fueled with anger. In the last scene they are in a calming sunset.
Look up the English lyrics. You will get even more meaning from this ending. It's a love song from raphtalia to naofumi but just as easily works for naofumi to her.
@@Kiseki0328 Neither me but I heard the manga is similar but with less details,anyways SPOILER ALERT:After ep 3 the heroes were reunited in the castle of the king, there Naofumi and Raphtalia were chatting then the lance hero accuses that Naofumi is with a slave (which is legal there btw) and challenge Naofumi to a 1v1 fight Naofumi refuses at first but then the king heard of that and order the guards to remove the "slave seal" in Raphtalia chest (sorry I didn't remember the right word) then Naofumi accept the 1v1 because of that then...I won't tell you anymore there is your cliffhanger go read the manga or wait for the next ep 😝

I've seen a lot of animes around my life, btw i've heard a full list of openings and endings but any one else touched me like this one, when she starts singing with her delicated voice it really feels like one thousand knives stabbing my heart
this is really the best ed of the season, the meaning behind it and the images complement each other so well, it is a simplistic drawing yet so powerful with just a little of analysis, the wrecked ships and buildings show raphtalia vilalge which was destroyed by the wave, where she lost everything, while naofumi is in a barren land full of dead treas as he was framed and lost all meaning to be a hero aside from getting out of there, where each other after they meet, get to change their own lives, with naofumi having found something to fight for as well as raphtalia, really, even more after todays episode where its reinstated how important is that raphtalia stays along naofumi
pls read the web novel, not to say that the manga is bad but later on it just turns into a different story, dunno if the anime will follow the manga or nor but read the novel
@@neylboo can you link the site you read it from please, I've read the whole manga but apparently the Web comics and LN are ahead and I love this series so much.
It feels weird after watching this weekly for 6 months, I'll never hear these endings again after each episode. At least I can still enjoy them like this.
Coming back to this after seeing the ED2 so much it's kinda nice to see the parallels of them. In this you see that both Naofumi and Raphtalia were alone and had very negative outlooks on life with Naofumi's anger and Raphtalia's fear of it and they find a sort of salvation in eachother. With the new ending it kinda shows that for the most part when they are around eachother it kinda takes away the negativity for eachother, at least that's how i see it, I honestly think the ED's are both perfect both music and video :D
They utilized the continuation of the song extremely well! Just the entirety of it tells about Raphtalia's fears of losing Naofumi just having him by her side, and vice versa, gives her the strength to continue on ... as cheesy as that sounds haha
Probably the best anime i've ever watch. I can feel how painful Naufumi was. Thanks to Raphtalia, if ever Naufumi would've find her. He will run from everyone else and he hates to everyone in that world. This make me want to help those who feel painful as Naufumi did, Thank you for making this anime. As someone already said, The shield protect your body But Raphtalia protect your heart.
@@GabrielAlves-fw7bj konosuba makes us laugh, re zero scares us with it's gore and rising of the shield hero satisfies us with it's plot of nuclear revenge.
I just realized this scene and the scene at the very end of the credits in episode 25 are the same scene and location at different times, almost like a foreshadowing. Brilliant.
She loves him so much. The joy, peace, comfort, and adoration this show's creators show in Raphtalia's face is awe inspiring in both OPs and storyline of the show. Raphtalia views Naofumi as a protector, a sweet true guardian/father figure, but yet her true love - her light in her dangerous and cruel world.
It's really intense that Naofumi had to go through all of that to know Raphtalia (and Filo, Melty and the others) and to become the man he is at the end of Season 1, a true hero ready to do what he has to in order to protect others, even his enemies sometimes. It's a work of fiction, but sometimes life brings us in dire situations and only there we can become better persons.
Знаете, что самое прикольное для меня сейчас, в два часа ночи? Когда-то по просьбе друга искал музыку и, перерывая интернет, нашёл её в конце концов. Это была она. Тогда я особо не заценил её. Но теперь, по происшествии 3-ех месяцев, просматривая "Восхождение героя Щита" я решил её найти, обнаружил, что тут поставлен лайк, и всё вспомнил😂
Seriously, this anime is absolutely fantastic! If you have not watched it, YOU MUST! This ED is really touchy in the heart. The OP is amazing as well. The story is really great and animation is well done. I'm enjoying this anime very well. I love it!
I love this op and ending. I love this anime. How do i give it a higher rating than 5 stars because it deserves more. This anime is perfect and it has now decided to crawl to me and forced me to love it. This is now my favorite anime after last night when i first watched it and now i finished all available episodes and i have fallen into depression until the next episode arrives. I will support this anime so the rest of the novel could be animated.
This is one of the most beautiful anime i ever seen, i always cry a little bit at this part 1:05 because i remember that Raphtalia stays on Iwatani side even tho he got accused of doing a very bad thing...
I feel like the perfect ending for this anime is if after all he's been through, Naofumi finally goes home, in fact he's still at the book shop in his own world from episode 1. As he leaves the store he runs into Raphtalia whose either human (not to mention 18-20 obviously) or looks human to others and they embrace. Meanwhile Filo is the royal guard of Melty, the new queen and She's also the ambassador of melmorac, uniting humans and demi humans while training new generations of legendary heroes.
Oh, the ending makes room for a lot of different endings, there's one just like the one you said, they go to the real world together, actually there are a lot of different endings, it's kind of a lot of different realities

I find this ending so heartwarming,the way Raphtalia and Naofumi are both smiling and the way they are holding each other literally makes me cry 😢
she'll literally save him from a huge mental breakdown
@@AbyssContent not only a huge mental breakdown, but very possibly the last one...
Everyone is talking about Raphtalia but I respect the main charatecter for changing her life.
See a need, Fill a need!

They changed each others life. If they didn't meet both of them wouldn't be how they are now.
Juan Cena amen to that
to be honest i think so many of us like raphtalia because alot of us have been in naofumi's shoes.
@@az_3kgt714 or just cause we wish someone would care about us like she cares about naofumi
Two broken souls, cast aside and beaten by the world, end up saving one another.
God this anime is good.
God that's a good description of the show
A man who has been taken everything and a girl who has nothing more to be taken of
God this is well thougth
They both need each other and this anime is one of the best isekais out in my opinion
neck it cringer
Reminds me of Ranking of Kings
And now that I think of it, both the Eds sound really similar
I'm definitely gonna rewatch the anime when its finished.
this is the first anime im buying the light novels for. Everywhere seems to be selling out of them tho. least i got the first volume

Send me the link
yeah. glad they had it again
Lost everything, lost hope, respect, money but that's the way he became the most powerful hero
true
In memory of billy kametz .... Farewell dear friend and voice of Naofumi sama 😢😢😢😢💚💚💚
what happened?
May he rest in peace 🙏
One of the few EDs that I refuse to skip.
I'm not crying. YOU'RE CRYING

Best Ending of Whinter 2019
Leonel Gomez Hdz I agree, close second is Reincarnated as a Slime ED 2
Mine's SAO Alicization ED 2
Also this is my favorite ending with Attack on Titan Season 3 ending.
Black Clover's ending wins this honestly.
must protecc Raphtalia
and protect you from time it seems
@@Samonie67 lmao
this song is beatifull, Best Isekai 2019
One of my favorite endings ever, so simple, yet so deep and beautiful 🥰
Have been listening to this song everyday when I get home for some days Such a cozy song
feelsgoodsong
Full song is out btw
Kazi Hossain that was what I had been listening to
Do you happen to know the name of that song? I've been trying like crazy to find but all I see online is the intro and ending songs :(
the best part 0:45 *"But then, your voice called me again and again.. and eventually saved me"*
I'ma be a asshole and say.....
*K*
I totally think that lyric is Naofumi talking to Rapthalia though.
My heart stopped for a secnd
@@jamescuevas2005 The beggining is actually Naofumi , the second part ia Raphtalia
Beautiful ending, Raphtalia is perfect.
Sometimes a single act of kindness was all that a soul needed.
Such a good song for a good show. Can't wait to see raph grow into a big girl later
Me too!
Next episode I believe
BookPvP she’s also taller

Raphtalia forever
Rapthalia forever
1:22 It's nice to see Naofumi look happy for once, or at least at peace, anyways.
He deserves it.
He deserves all the happiness in the world.
The new Season 2 ED song is good but it will never be as good as this.
true
This anime is so good! I wish I can just marathon it !
@Rika Tomoe Woooooo
this, this is the best new gen anime around currently
Raphtalia is the best waifu for many reasons
1. She is loyal
2. She is reliable
3. She is supportive
4. She is cute
