    The Rising of the Shield Hero season 2 episode 2 aired today, and in this video I wanted to take a look at spear hero Motoyasu Kitamura, who made a big impact on Naofumi and the audience in season 1. This video does not contain Shield Hero light novel spoilers, but does include information about Motoyasu as a character from skipped content not included in the anime. Check out my other videos about Ren Amaki the sword hero and Itsuki Kawasumi the bow hero, as well as about Rishia, and make sure you subscribe for more Shield Hero analysis throughout Shield Hero season 2!

      @@NatalieXHunter If you pay attention to what he says in his spin-off about what his life was like before being isekaied, Motoyasu is a character that makes a scary amount of sense when you think about the implications of such a life. I'm not going to go into major spoilers, but Motoyasu was like a protagonist of a different type of game before being an unwilling participant in a murder-suicide turned knife fight. Him seeking a harem isn't because he expects one for going to another world, as he was seeking one even before that as there are guys with them in his world. The major thing hinted at in 3...

    Motoyasu is my favourite "Chad" character. He reminds me of Aqua from konosuba where he thinks he's doing his best, but he's not smart enough to catch when he's being used.
    I knew a guy who was so attractive he became an escort and sadly was targeted by some nefarious people who were jealous and gave him some stuff that led to an OD, where they then emptied his apartment and only called an ambulance 2 hours later to take advantage of the "good semaritan" law that would wipe their hands of the crime.

They chose to sweep it under the rug denying him proper justice and almost validating that this legal loophole is so easy to exploit.
      What really get me is that he apparently signed up to be booked into rehab the next day, so if he was with literally anyone else, he would still be alive.
      I've lost friends before, and also lost someone the same month from the also having laced substances who didn't live far from Colby either. And the gov has been playing ads about the rise of addiction after lockdowns so there must have been a notable amount of victims to cause Canadian health care to now include mental health in their covered services.
      From my own experience, all addiction is just self medicating for an undiagnosed condition.
      But finding a doctor who is able to listen to the individual and assess which treatment they need correctly is as difficult as impressing Simon Cowell with an idol audition.
      The system fails people so often they opt to go the "Breaking Bad" over the constant rejection and shaming.
      I'm so lucky I had a Family doctor who literally called me the moment I turned legal age to let me know I had ADHD but my parents didn't believe him, or anyone, even though my cousins also have it.
      Without that help, I probably would have met a similar fate to my friends last year.
      I just hope that if parallel timelines exist, that there's one where right now I could still catch them at the dog park getting buzzed on spiked iced tea while we compare our calendars to see if we're on any of the same projects.

    Motoyasu is also the most "traditionally" smart hero, as he says he was in college for mechanical engineering during their initial introduction in the castle. And his later "developments" have him jury rig an outright racecar for... reasons... that is FULLY FUNCTIONING AND HAS PRETTY MUCH ALL MODERN CONVENTIONS LIKE SUSPENSION AND GEAR SHIFTING! This man, when he manages to pull his head from his rear, is a borderline genius who comes up with really unique solutions to problems that the other heroes (and strategists) don't even consider. I can't wait until the current novel plotline resolves and we can get the Motoyasu arc to make him "tolerable" as worst and decent to be around at best!

    One incident that was cut from the anime that provides a hugely good demonstration of his flaws is the Rino incident. Right before Motoyasu finds that seed, he encounters a very young adventurer girl named Rino who asks to be part of his party. Motoyasu happily accepts, as he had with several other adventurer girls who'd joined but suddenly left when they felt they couldn't fit in. Rino feels kind of awkward watching the way the party works, with all the adventurer girls just sort of cheering Motoyasu on without ever helping, then demanding that he give them whatever they want, but she doesn't really say much. Then, maybe less than a week later, she disappears and the other ladies say that, like the others, she felt she didn't really fit in. He heads out later and ends up walking alone in an alley, where he starts to hear moans coming from a nearby building he figures must be a brothel. He figures if a woman wants to do that sort of work it's up to her and starts to move on when he notices a voice that sounds exactly like Rino, but thinks there's no way Rino would take a job at a place like that. When that voice starts screaming and begging, he thinks "wow, this lady's a great actress to do r*pe play that well" and moves on without a second thought. When he ends up in the dungeon with that seed, he hears the girls from his party first talking about what a pain he is, always ogling them and finding excuses to grope them, and then move on to laughing about how easy it was to trick Rino to go with them, not realizing she was being tricked until her hands were bound and the slave crest was being applied so she'd be unable to defy the brothel owner, just like the other girls. And all Motoyasu thinks is "I remember my game having monsters that sound like your allies saying awful things, this must be one of them" and feels confirmed in this when he comes around the corner to find the ladies over a monster bat's corpse.
    Concerning Rino, I hear she does come back much later. Spoilers ahead
    She's saved from the brothel by the queen and joins a special spy unit, eventually being sent on a mission to locate Malty (who'd fled at this point). She finds her, infiltrates her party, and finally does what every reader has wanted someone to do since the first chapter of the story. Note, this is only in the light novel. To my knowledge she never appeared in the manga, and Malty/Myne/Bitch/Slut has a very different role in the web novel.

    Ah yes, the only other hero who has his own series aside from Naofumi. He's really, really easy to hate but I think one of his biggest mistakes actually is skipped in the anime, well, not really skipped because it's dealt with, but we aren't really given much information.
    I'm referring to the cursed seed where Naofumi had to deal with that village full of plants. It must be remembered that the warning against the seed was written in that world's language and only Naofumi had taken the time to learn it because he had to in order to learn magic (and because he was studying magic rather than having it gifted to him by crystals, he ends up knowing even more magic than the other heroes).
    Motayasu would not know that the seed he knew about from the game would actually be a cursed item that the creator warned against because he couldn't read the warning.

      Pretty sure naofumi still couldn’t read at that point and it was the mage woman who read it for him. The mistake was less that he couldn’t read and more that he was continually lead astray by the women he surrounds himself with. Malty can read and his whole party can too. But none of them bothered and he never questioned why they didn’t translate the tablet right next to the big sealed box.

    I actually don't hate the Spear hero as I did in season 1 now that I've gotten more than a glimpse of his character. He has his moments where he was more reliable than the Bow or Sword heroes. He's definitely the pretty boy that thinks he's understands women based on his limited knowledge of isekai harems, but doesn't take the time to understand their feelings which creates a potential blind spot for the Spear hero. I find it very interesting that Motoyasu met his end at the hands of a yandere, yet he continues to keep Myne around after all the terrible things she did. I always find it satisfying seeing the Spear Hero get knocked out by Filo whenever he gets close to her.

    I had not read the light novel until after much of the first season was out, so I was unaware of Rino when I watched the first half. I can understand them not including her, but the least they could of done was change out Motoyasu's party. From what I gathered from his extra chapter in volume 1, which takes place around the time Naofumi left with Raphtalia and ended up fighting that two headed dog monster, that Motoyasu's party was comprised of women who joined after Myne did, at least one of whom went to school with her. It was pretty clear they were in league with her. This means that with in the span of a few weeks, all the girls who joined Motoyasu on the first day were gone. Given what happened to Rino after Motoyasu left her alone with the other girls, it's not hard to guess what happened to them.
    Anime only watchers likely would of been confused by the switch. Granted they were still confused when one of Moyotasu's girls was missing when he fought with Naofumi at the border and it turned into a 4v4.
    Still it is a shame that they had to cut Rino, as it gave a look into Motoyasu's head. Myne and the other girls acted more like cheerleaders, hanging back and collecting EXP from the party system. He was confused why Rino wanted to help fight the monsters rather than let him carry the whole party.

    Spoiler Warning of Reprise of Spear Hero,

    I heard that there was a separate story called Reprise of the Spear Hero, though I am not sure if this goes into the Spear Hero's backstory or if it starts off when Nafomi is falsely accused by Mai and it goes into Motoyasu's interpretation of events.
    Though for those who want to know if there are any redeeming qualities to the Spear Hero, that might be the storyline to research on.

    • @NatalieXHunter
      @NatalieXHunter  2 роки тому +1

      It's actually neither of those things - it's a spin off that occurs much later in the story (like, it would tie in with the last few currently available volumes) and takes place after Motoyasu has changed quite a lot from how he is at the start.

      I was aware you asked for no spoilers in the comments, so I was trying my best to ask if that spinoff ever took place towards the start or somewhere in the middle of the series at least in the Light Novels.
      Considering it will take a number of years if the Anime adaptation does decide to go down that path, it might be something that anime only fans of Shield Hero might want to read since it won't spoil the plot too much in the series.

    Spear hero seems to be like a Rudeus gone wrong and who went to college. In the sense that they are both lolicons, perverts and have their women issues. And I mean he is based on a harem protagonist gone wrong. And blind faith is as bad as extreme doubt. The funny thing is that Motoyasu is a rather goodlooking guy in most stories despite his faults. He would seem like a harem protagonist if it weren’t for his character flaws. His Filo obsession does definitely equate to trauma and unlikely attitudes towards women. The degeneracy following or related to trauma or other issues that could happen.

    I seriously don’t get why he wasn’t just open and took a poly route? Maybe because he didn’t want them dating other people? Idk? That’s usually the case when I read about cheaters.

    • @serpenttailedangel
      @serpenttailedangel 2 роки тому +4

      As far as the loli thing goes it generally comes off more like he's into the angel aspect and doesn't give much thought to age, rather than that he's explicitly into younger girls (which is still not GOOD, but is a distinction.) There's a side story that the anime didn't adapt where he sees Raphtalia as a kid, but doesn't care to see what she's up to because she's not (yet) attractive to him.
      Spoilers for the first chapter of the spin off:
      In the WN version I think he was being secretive about cheating, but in the LNs he seemed really open about the fact that he wasn't going to commit to anyone. His main annoyance with the two girls who stabbed him was that they fought with each other too much for him to take them on a three-person date. In both versions, he's stabbed when they tell him to pick one or the other of them and he tells them outright that he doesn't want to commit to either one, rather than because he's simply caught cheating.
