So from what I've gathered with these episodes so far:
- Spear Hero is an actual brainlet
- Bow Hero is an edgy 12 year old trying to be cool and shit
- Sword Hero has his heart in the right place but isn't wise and experienced enough to make the right choices
And of course:
- Shield Hero is best boy
If you look it up in the LN, you see that the dragon corpse incident was a genuine accident. Unlike the Bow and Spear's problems which were caused by either not thinking things through at all or overlooking pretty obvious warning signs (like a plaque explicitly saying "Don't take this seed out of this cave!"), Sword honestly just got bad advice.
-
It was the people in his party and in the village that told him to leave the corpse instead of disposing of it (I forget if it was to make it a tourist attraction or to leave it for other adventurers to harvest materials from). As for the plague itself, I can't exactly blame him for not anticipating a monster body turning into a full blown bio weapon (unless maybe if the dragon was a Poison type, which I don't think is ever indicated). In other words, he screwed up, but it was only because he had no reason to even consider things going down the way they did.
That is exactly correct. Sword is the best person of the other three heros.
Itsuki (bow hero) is a genuine piece of shit. Surrounds himself with people that boosts his ego and treats the only genuine person in his party (Risha) like shit. Literally the worst one of the bunch.
Motoyasu is a redeemable. Stupidity isn't evil. Just stupid.
Ren is just a fairly human character. He self-reflects and improves.
correction
spear hero is a lolicon womanizing melted brain
Beenu all correct
Naofumi: Absolute Chad
Ren: means well but is a total edgelord
Itsuki: the 12 year old on Xbox Live
Motoyasu: The definition of a “simp”
it's almost like this anime's characters are terribly written or something
@@nwojunkie And how did you get that from a meme post?
We get it, you don't like the show- now move along.
@@nwojunkie im honestly curious y u believe that?
I'm still digging through the Light Novel, but have completed the web novel. I can say this Adaptation is one of the better anime adaptations, even with the "made for the small screen" changes made. And the Web novel definitely backups those descriptions of the characters.
@@nwojunkie more likely written to be terrible. That's the difference between Dolores Umbridge and vice-admiral Holdo.
I think we can all agree ren is a good guy who’s made a mistake honestly I probably would have done it too. I never would have thought killing a dragon would start a plague
Up to that point, he literally still thought he was in a game, like the Discount Kirito he is.
i think only seiya ryuuguuin would have thought of that my guy
@@thebighurt2495 to be fair, in his world it literally is an vrmmo
I think nobody expected that the corpse would turn into a dragon zombie... Wich probably was the main reason of why the village got infected
@@Voldrim359 but the plague started BEFORE the corpse of the dragon reanimated into a zombie dragon
Spiderman refererence aside, it awesome that Naofumi pointed out the negative consequences of the Bow and Sword's "heroics"
And fortunately, Ren took it at heart. He is learning now (late, but not too late)
Im feeling sry for Itsuki and Bakayasu
@@gustavoargumanis1863 I've been hearing a few things from LN readers and Web Novel readers. No big spoilers, but basically, *don't pity Itsuki. He doesn't deserve it. In. The. Least.* ...so I've heard.
@@MrDibara because he doest deservet it, motoyasu try to fix his herror, in the new manga he show that
@@accelerator8558 So at least Motoyasu/Spear Hero is finally starting to get his shit together. Good for him.
But for whatever reason, I've heard people say "do NOT feel bad for Itsuki/Bow Hero".
Thankfully there were no big spoilers, so I'll probably see for myself why he's such a hateful guy;
@@MrDibara you will have to wait for that, i only tell about motoyasu because afther all what happen, he learn part of tru and he really feel bad for what happen to Neofumi in one way or another he want to fix his mistakes it's no so bad even if he is a idiot, and isuki from all heros i supouse he it's the one who deservet alot of punish
I have the feeling, the royals plan to make shield hero look like the bad guy is falling apart, pretty fast
No spoilers but.. Just you wait lol
It's clearly being accelerated by the fact that the other three heroes are causing their own share of problems that the Shield Hero ends up fixing, even if most people think he is just a regular adventurer with a different name.
Keep an eye on the royals...they’re gonna get what’s coming to em
Reezy909 are you a manga reader? Because if so, that knowledge makes me very happy...
You'll be trembling with excitement over the payback. Karma's a bitch thats fallen for our shield hero.

@@awesomeh3621 After that Peter and Joker dance on stairs
Bakugo and Midorya
YES LET IT HAPPEN
Let spider-man congratulate Naofumi (and exchange autographs with each other)
Sword is actually decent enough to realize his own mistakes, Bow and Spear are the biggest dickheads though, they believe that everything they do is heroic and inherently good because of their pride of being chosen as "heroes" so they lack critical thinking and jump to the easiest conclusions like sheep.
They never come close to Naofumi in combat because they continually grind easy exp but lack ACTUAL combat experience gained from true hardship in life-or-death battles and perseverance. When they spar with a royal captain later in the series she outright refuses to believe that the heroes are so basic at combat for their level, like an mmo character whose at high level but completely clueless at actual PVP.
its like a lvl 100 fire type pokemon against a level 50 ghost type pokemon but the lvl 100 keeps spamming a normal type move while the ghost is using toxic and slowly wittling the enemy using smarts
It went too far into "shield can do no wrong, heroes can do nothing right" imo. Made them complete caricatures in both decision making and fighting capabilities.
And the crux of the problem is that despite Bow, Spear, and Sword being game buffs with Sword having done MMORPGs before arriving in this world; all three of them look down on Shield thinking that because it's not a weapon it is as useless as most of the Kingdom says it is. They fail to attribute the three basic roles of MMOs to themselves and fail at realizing that the three of them are just DPS while Shield is the unique Tank/Healer Combo that most Dungeons/Raids Groups absolutely require in order to progress further in the games.
This is why I am a Tank Main: my job is to soak up the Aggro, and to coordinate with other Tanks to keep the Boss on its' toes so it doesn't break aggro to instead charge after our crucial Healers and Ranged Spellcasters, or cleave through the meat shield of flashy and extravagant DPS dipshits whose modus operandi only revolves around "Group Up And Hit It Til' It Dies".
@@0hvist SaO Abridged reference at the end?
At this point, Ren has shown more character development than his two fellow heroes, as he starts to improve greatly after this.
Everyone before among us: cool
Everyone after among us: sus
Well, now we have enough to accurately describe the other heroes:
Motoyasu is basically a generic Isekai/shonen MC: White Knight syndrome sufferer, pervert and very dumb. But it also shows what happens when he is not the protagonist, is pampered to irresponsable levels and pulled through the nose to whatever she wants.
Ren is the classical power leveler MMORPG player: just cares about growing in power. But he is not unreasonable and has a sense of responsability about the consecuences of his actions.
Itsuki is an arrogant glory seeker with a warped sense of justice and morals (and that's not all. I wont spoil it)
Just from looking at their bio's I feel like Itsuki is the worst.
@@admiralandy1983 Motoyasu actually gets worse later.
Joe Devaney before he unlocks his curse series or after?
@@admiralandy1983 Not sure. I mean, Naofumi likes Itsuki the least out of the three, but we saw from this episode that Naofumi is hardly a paragon of good judgement.
Joe Devaney I just find it funny that out of the four of them the light novel reader treats his party as a party (in fights) whereas the mmo players don’t.
Ren has humility, something a Hero needs
Ren has always been my favorite of the 3 cause he is willing to hear Naofumi out hell in this scene he seems to believe him about the zombie dragon and disease
the way I see the sword hero is like that one meme
"Hes a little confused but hes got the spirit"
Ren: he's basically just posturing. Looking cool, being detached, never letting anyone know anything about him or being indebted to anyone. He's actually just a regular dude doing his best to look strong and cool in front of others and avoid any problems to himself. He's moved by mere self interest.
Itsuki: he's always had an advantage over other people due to his status. He's all about being the star, the leader, the hero. His mind is on defeating powerful enemies, punishing criminals and tyrants. He only follows his ways, and whoever doesn't agree with him he considers to be below him. He refuses to admit his weaknesses, his mistakes or his ignorance, but its quick to condemn others. He's moved by mere ambition and pride.
Motoyasu: he's basically a guy that was lucky to be good looking, tall, strong and inheriting such a powerful weapon. Despite just being a lucky guy, he has tremendous contempt for those that are ugly, short, weak, poor and low on the social ladder. He's simply moved by pleasure, status and materialistic gains.
Naofumi: a common guy, very sincere and kind hearted, innocent, peaceful. He's not into posturing. He's not proud or entitled. He's authentic, vulnerable, humble and compassionate towards those in pain or need. He's moved by love and empathy towards other's people's misery. His weapon, the shield, it's a symbol of his strength: he may not be the strongest in offensive combat, but he can withstand even the most powerful blows.
Ren is the mose decent of the three other heroes. Where Itsuki feels like he's an anime protagonist and tries to be cool and is super self-righteous about it and Motoyasu is on a journey to find out how dumb you can be while being manipulated into bs by his snake companion, being a possible paedophile all the while, Ren isn't on some ego-trip but actually trying to be a good hero and helping the people. He's open-minded toward Naofumi despite the prejudice and acknowledges his own mistakes and tries to learn from them.
He's not the beast that Naofumi is, but he's definitely the second-best hero out there by a big distance
how sad is itsuki world that there is no stan lee :c at least ren can properly apologise and think
Yeah the heroes come from alternate versions of Earth with some notable differences, tho Naofumi comes from our Earth which Spiderman and the famous Uncle Ben quote exist.
now we know why he's such an asshole
Well it is possible they are from a world where Japan won WW2. I'd image that world is missing a lot of things.
No need to tell me, im on top with the light novel, up to daate and all, both wn and ln
From what I've been hearing, Ren has kind of an obsession with becoming "the best", so while I do think his remorse is genuine about the harm he has caused (notice him looking at Raphtalia's wound before apologizing), I also think a good part of that guilt is also him thinking _"dammit, I wasn't good enough! I need to get better!"_
At least, that's my take on the guy for now. If it turns out to be that, I just hope his mentality doesn't drive him to commit yet more reckless acts in his attempt to redeem himself.
Among all three heroes the sword hero actually has some senses if he just takes his time and learn from naufumi he would a great secondary main for the series
Shield Hero was not the Imposter.
2 imposters remain
This was proof that all Naofumi was doing is being an actual hero before the wave, trying to survive, help others and prepare for the wave.
If this part wasn't in the show it would come later and later until it couldn't not happen, it was a neccesary moment for the story to keep going.
It's overly a badass moment for Naofumi not as a hero or as a warrior, as a person.
🎶Spider-Man,Spider-Man,can do what ever a spider can.🎶

*"Hero things, any size/you can't do, just like that/Bow dude... You're no Spider-Man~"*
I like how ren is the youngest but more mature than the bow and spear hero
He's already beginning to earn my respect for taking the L like a man and choosing to listen to Naofumi
Wait......DID THIS SHOW JUST MADE A MARVEL REFERENCE!?!! ok I'm in love with this show more now
You’d think the other heroes would start taking advice from the shield hero by now.
Ooohhh
They will .... eventually
Cant wait won't be for a while though
Yeah, it's gonna take almost ten whole light novel volumes worth of time for the things Naofumi says to finally start sinking into their skulls.

When the hero is sus😳
In order from least to most useful of the four heroes are Motoyasu: easily distracted by boobs, Itsuki: get in his line of fire and you're next, Ren : won't work with anyone until the last minute, and Naofumi: the guy who hates his job but does it best
At least the hero with the sword is a bit more mature and levelheaded
The sword hero was actually a good person
0:00 Peter B. Parker: Don’t you dare finish that sentence!
Naofumi the master of cleaning everyone else’s mess.
THE JANITOR!!
There is hope for the sword hero
I like how the put a new spin on what being a hero is. It's now slaying a dragon or deposing a corrupt king. It's improving the quality of life for everyone. It's providing safety and stability, and that's usually mundane work
0:41 best part of this video, Filo is so precious :D
Can se talk about the fact that Naofumi understood the Spidey reference? The Cap would be so proud!
I feel like the Arrow and Sword Heroes aren't fully to blame. Sword took down a dangerous dragon but the town should have looked into removing the dragon's corpse and while Arrow was naive and left way too soon, that village should have picked smarter people to lead their resistance. But then Naofumi has a very nihilistic view of this fantasy world so it's expected he'd see things so simple.
Sword Hero: the new player. He makes mistakes, but learns from them and strives to improve.
Spear Hero: the well-meaning scrub. He TRIES to do a good job, but unfortunately, he's just too stupid.
Bow Hero: the War Pig. He's nowhere near as eloquent, wise or good at heroing as he thinks he is, and has a planetary ego besides.
Other heroes: "but we were doing good!"
Naofumi: *"vibe check"*
Whoever I see anime with class types like this - I’m reminded of the Round Table.
The Greatest Knight - Lancelot
The best Swordsman - Gawain
The most righteous - Galahad
No matter how great the knights in weapons - Galahad was rumored to be the only one to have found the Holy Grail (I’m taking this from Fate/ lore and tales of the Knights of the Round Table)
In Fate/ it’s suggested he was a Shielder servant - in life and as a pseudo.
The other knight classes may be stronger and faster in learning and strength - but remember, a shield will always outlast you if that person can hold off attack
Swords, lance, bow - try to end the battle as fast as possible
Shielders - they depend on the battle being extended, not only do they wear out their opponent they can also learn a lot about the enemy by analyzing the battle
The shield hero was not only handicapped from the start, he was forced to do it without backing of any sort
As Maple once did, invest so much in defense, you will become a monster in your own right XD XD
Shield Trio!
Ah, that's where the fun began
It’s kinda interesting since the bow and sword hero did what typical fantasy heroes would do in these situations, they just missed the part about making sure the job was fully finished without any unnecessary consequences before continuing on
I mean, usually the bodies disappear automatically in thin air :v
I see parallels with this situation and situations in real life. People and groups claiming to help others just to leave other or worse problems after they leave. To truly solve a problem you need to deal with the root of the cause as well as provide a safeguard for the future.
So Naofumi is basically confirmed to be from an Earth similar to ours, since he knows about Spiderman.
Here is the problem with itsuki and motoyasu, they both believe that they're in a situation where there is no real consequence. I think Ren gets it, as seen how he behaves in general, but the other two are clueless. To be fair, the world does essentially function like a video game, with skills and leveling and whatnot, but Ren and Chris (Naofumi) both get that they're in the real world. I assume that they understand because they seem less into video games in general, which I assume from Chris's first scene.
My question is why is everyone mad at him for not knowing a dragon will come back to life and spread a plague how does that make sense he killed it I want he would have known that.
My question is can all dragons do that and if so that's bulshit.
This is literally the equivalent of getting mad at a person not knowing even though it was not in his control whatsoever nor he had any information prior.
@@lonelywolf5659 I agree. Although I think the problem is more that rather than paying any attention and confirming the kill, he left the corpse where it was and let the situation worsen. He may not have known that it happened, but he was a direct cause of it happening. I don't think Naofumi is mad at him, as I think he realizes that Ren couldn't possibly have known.
@@lonelywolf5659 you can’t blame him for not knowing about it coming back to life but you can blame him for the plague since it is a real world thing not just some fantasy thing that happened in this reality made for the rising of shield hero for example when a deal whale washes up one of the many reasons you leave it alone is because it can spread disease same thing for basically any corpse
@@lonelywolf5659 and it wasn’t the dragon coming back to life that spread disease it was just the corpse being left there so you still can’t say it’s not his fault the disease happened
Shield boy was apparently a normal, functioning person before getting transported so of course he has the most sense of any of them given his frame of reference. I find it funny that the sword boy, being a loner, doesn't trust mass opinion and instead takes logic and rationality into account when confronted with some things. He'll take the best explanation rather than the most common explanation.
ren is the only one who has an actual brain among the 3 other heros
Ren is definitely my favourite if the 3. He just makes sense. The others are stupid (spear hero) or egotistical(archer hero).
Nao is trying so hard not to go on and call them "bunch of useless fools"
That's a fascinating "minor" detail I never registered before. "Bitten by a spider" in combo reference to the bow-kid, comment: "with great power comes great responsibility." That's the Spider-man keystone detail. And fact that the bow-kid doesn't know it, likely means for his worlds history, it unfolded in way that Stan Lee didn't exist (or potentially worse, get popularity) in his world.
Additionally... Of the three, Ren (IIRC, that's the sword kids name?) seems to be the most likely to be able to work well and listen to Naofumi.
This is why Sword Guy is second best boi to best boy Shield
I don't think Ren or Itsuki are in the wrong.
Ren is justified because it is not obvious that the Dragon corpse would rot and poison the nearby town. Maybe from now on he needs to be more careful when he defeats larger monsters, but it was reasonable for him not to have known this before.
Itsuki is justified because he empowered the townspeople and their resistance by helping take down the king. He isn't responsible for the people's failure to rule themselves properly after the fact.
The only reason Naofumi knows better is because he got to see the unexpected consequences of their actions. Also, Naofumi is not in much of a position to lecture these guys when his actions had lead to an increased demand for slaves.
Not an increase in the desire for slaves, just for that slave traders stock. Slavery in that world is just something that exists.
@@nathanthom8176 Naofumi became a walking advertisement for slavery. There are going to be people who didn't consider buying slaves which decide to do so after seeing how well it worked for Naofumi. Thus he increased the demand. Slavery existed before, but participation in it can go up or down.
@@didles123 let's not discount that he may also be a positive example for the treatment of slaves which from what we have seen elsewhere in the series is harsh to say the least.
So an I do good so it's good mentality?
The world is more nuanced than that, with such a childish naive view on things a person deserves to be held accountable for the bad consequences.
They got off easy in my opinion.
@@udntknw001 There is nothing childish about it. The only way to be good is to do what is right based on your own expectations. You cannot act based on something you don't know.
By your reasoning, the butterfly that flaps its wings is accountable for all the damage that a hurricane does down the line. It's ridiculous.
There are certain activities which by their nature are dangerous and so one is required to learn the full consequences of their actions and how to avoid bad outcomes. An example of this would be driving, which requires a license to do legally. Another example would be food and drugs, which must go through testing before they can be legally sold. These sorts of systems could never work for questing, though. The more advanced quests involve doing things that only the heroes are capable of doing meaning no one has a thorough understanding of the outcomes. If the heroes had to go through a 6 month training process before each quest to avoid potential collateral damage, then they would have lost on the first wave.
*flips off all the "heroes" except naofumi off like homer simpson*
Music is on point when it time to get serious and it makes you listen to the view points of the shield hero!!!! Team Shield
I wasn't expecting a Spider-Man referance there.
Ren is the most decent of the trio
To me what he got blamed for it doesn't sound right. If said out loud you be like wait what.
Like he got blank for a dragon that he killed but it came back to life and made plague. Like how can all dragons do this in this world that seems like b******* if you ask me.
Like if if that was me I'll be like I know I'm a hero it in kind of OB but that dragons powers are b*******. Even by my standards and now I know I have to learn how to double tap. Then exercise the body and then blow it up.
As some one who made a "I'll use my frying pan as a drying pan" refference that went over everyone's head, this pained me
He try not to be a hero but he has the talent
The nerve of that pipsqueak talking about responsibility.
Love how shield is like a dad talking to his teen sons who think they know it all he got to teach them how the world really work i feel kind of bad that later on they have to hit rock bottom to finally get it through there thick head dad was right
The Tank is not just the Tank he is the Guardian and protector he is the main leader and the first frontal attacker he is the backbone and the support he is the bearer of the team's safety.

@@tkn9979 That's not what I've heard of his character development.
@@tkn9979 uh... no? Wtf? From whose ass did you pull that BS?
How do you apologize for something you have no control over. That's like me killing re3 Nemesis and not knowing he can regenerate and come back to life and then get blamed for it how does this comment section work. Seriously did anyone think of that how does that work logically that made no sense.
A Changed Man but he does understand his ways after the greed series and help the shield hero and kinda become a unofficial party member of shield part. Bow hero takes some time to fix. Spear idiot nope still a dumbass but again how can you fix him when he got no brain.
Naofumi had to check the other two heroes like nah he wasn't trying to impersonate you... he was simply cleaning up your messes
Personal I think all these guys needed a do over- just like the Spear Hero Case, where the author made a spinoff for the Spear Hero getting a do-over while helping naofumi
That makes him the only responsible man in the entire world, literally no one else can clean up their own messes, even the god damn king is a bitch, giving his daughter whatever she desires, even if it causes massive chaos. excuse my language.

@@JoseMendoza-JAM stuff like that kind of ruins it for character development in my opinion. Like take them as they are and then watch then redeem themselves.

But his easily deceptive mind and weak will not to mention his rashness make him weaker. He's physically strong but he's mentally weak to the point to where it's laughable.

He has common sense, but no one around to give him a second opinion or talk things out with him. He’s not an idiot or a justice-freak, but his poor social skills have their own set of problems
@@vexxama he's a lot like a flushed out version of Kirito.
Gotta remember as well hes still young, which explains his naivete but he genuinely seems like a decent person and has some brain cells as well.
Flame Mixtape3342 True that, people tend to forget he’s the youngest only 16. He’s an edgy loner who doesn’t share his thoughts with others. But weren’t we all like that? Edgy 16 year old teenagers.
I don’t think that’s just a coincidence either. I don’t remember for sure but I remember hearing that both the shield and sword heroes are closer compared to the rest of the heroes. Makes sense since both work together really well.
Ren:brain capacity 50%
Itsuki: brain capacity 30%
Motoyasu: brain capacity 2.5%
Pretty sure what little brainpower Motoyasu has is being sucked off- er, out by Malty.

Only brain capacity he has is in his dick, and Myne was sucking that off.

@@DANCERcow They are from parallel world versions of Japan. Ren's world for example has full VR RPGs while the rest of them do not.

Shield hero: explains that bow hero did more damage and ruined tons of lives that he saved and helped which is why his request was declined because he basically tidied up the catastrophic mess u made
Sword hero: ok makes sense if that's the case for me please explain
Bow hero: tHaTs NoT tHe PoInT
@Tinyrocket no it's the sword hero who is the youngest
@@kuzokun566 even thought the sword Hero Is the youngest, he Is more reasonable than the bow Hero and the spear hero
Completely disregarding what Naofumi just told him. Bow hero is a moron.
I mean in both the web novel and light novel the moment he looks at Raphtalia's and finds cursed wounds on her he bowed down to her and asked to be forgiven for his mistake as it undirectly caused her to get those wounds (Ren may be the youngest but he takes the full responsibility of his actions most of the time)
Despite being the Shield Hero and the most hated man in Melromarc, Naofumi still does more good than those three posers.
I totally agree!
@MR.Galaxy 264 Didn't you want to say The Idiot Trio (San Baka)?
@@akaiyoru2681 More like the 3 Stooges
@@gianepineda5799 Anyways, fuck them all with a steel cactus
Sword dude seems alright.
Bow dude is a bit arrogant but once he gets knocked down a peg he’ll be alright.
Spear dude needs to die.
Out of the other three heroes, Ren always seems the most level-headed. He takes the story of the princess at face value, because why wouldn't he? However, when that story starts to clash with what he's seeing, he's the first one to question it, and starts to treat Naofumi more fairly.
Ren is easily the best of the three, being the most reasonable and not having his judgement clouded by self-righteous hypocrisy like Itsuki or the absolute idiocy of Motoyasu.
Also he didn't really know Naofumi at the beginning or the spoil princess for that matter, so he really couldn't defend his fellow hero based on face value and with the majority of everyone believing the princess who is he to stick his neck out for someone he didn't really know because for all Ran knew Naofumi could have actually done what she accused him of doing. But now that he's actually began to know him he's now able to defend him if he sees Naofumi being treated unfairly.
@@michaelmurray8134 i would also say ren also felt some what peer pressured in to disliking the shield hero
Out the remaining three, ren is literally the only one whose redeemable based off this season
Once he tackles his ego then he'll be a fantastic hero
Naofumi: you destabilized a country
Itsuki: dont change the subject!
Yeah real hero material right there
It's nice that the Sword Hero listens to Naofumi and trying to learn.
He’s the youngest too. Still has much to learn.
That is true, I got to give him that.
He has always been the most reasonable of the other 3 heros of the story, his major flaws were his loner personality and naivety but he comes around a lot better than most,,, as for the bow....well you will see >.>
Well he basically listened to Naofumi chew out the Bow Hero for not understanding a political transition system and how merely overthrowing one authority and leaving doesn't rectify problems as much as create seven more. At that point he had to assume there was some form if logic to his own case as well, though sadly as a man from a world with hygiene he should've at least understood viral outbreaks.
Swords and shields are suppose to go well together. I suppose a spear and shield could go well together too but a bow and shield not so much. Bows are two handed weapons and you need a hand avaliable for a shield but I digress. Sword and shield heroes should otherwise be a perfect match for eachother in terms of combat.
My opinion on the three heroes
Sword Hero: the only one who has a brain among them, and the one we have hope for.
Bow Hero: has an ego who could rival Gilgamesh from Fate Zero/Stay Night Franchise
Spear Hero: He'll believe whatever any beautiful lady tells him...coffs... like Bitch for example... because he is such a manipulative fool.
At least Gil can back up that ego of his with results.
Himanshu Goel Gil was crazy how much he could back it up and the bow hero fit in the same category because there both archers. I hat the bow hero he thinks he’s so good but he’s trash.
I think you should replace the f in fool with a t
remember that Sword hero still thinks he's been transported into a videogame
Funny you mention Fate. To me, Itzuki is sorta a cross between Shirou and Gilgamesh (who btw are both classified as Archers). He has the whole "hero of justice" shtick that Shirou has including his delusional obsession with it, but his insane ego rivals Gil's even though he clearly can't back up his boasting unlike the King of Heroes.
I think the dub did the armor-piercing question better.
"Did you ever think that maybe you're trying too hard to be some super-cool secret vigilante, and you're not very good at it?"
Sounds like the Green Arrow to me, damn that's 2 super hero references at once
Ray I didn’t even realize that
nice 😂
itsuki man, itsuki man does whatever an itsuki does
screws things up any time, mess things up then he whines

Always there, to blame you for shit

Here to blame you for shiiiit!!!
Honestly, did not read this to the spider-man theme but to the tune of Particle Man by We Might Be giants.
@@jamesdickens3120 Needs that accordian accompaniement
I like that Ren accepts responsibility and apologizes but I still love it when Naofumi puts the other so called hero’s in their place
Some people need a splash of cold water. Naofumi however grabs ice from the bucket and slaps someone with the rest of the bucket before serving himself whiskey on the rocks after.
SMH
These people have no culture
No spider-man = no Tobey McGuire = no Pizza time meme
That is the worst reality
@Captain Twice I would say most of history before the sixties sucked worse than the sixties. The world has only improved since Spiderman's creation.
GET ME MOR PICTURES OF SPIDER MAN!!!
True, but we dont know What memes they have in his World, maybe we are losing a great meme material from there e.e
@@vic38878 SPOILER ALERT but later it is reveal all the heros are from different versions of Japan which could explain not knowing spider man.
@@Jak239JC That was revealed at the very beginning of the series, it's practically common knowledge at this point.
- Itsuki: 12-year-old Xbox kid trying to be cool and rebel
- Ren: Try to help but lacks experience and initiatives
- Motoyasu: Is almost brain dead ... all the brain power he has left is being sucked by Myne
- Naofumi: Is a real chad that clean everybody's mess and actually help the world
A little disappointed that all the comments are talking about the Spider-Man reference and not the fact that my guy just spat all over poor filo
To be fair naofumi did apologize to filo afterwords.
Well, starting immediately after her "birth", Naofumi did let her ride around on his head. I'm sure a little water, spat from across a table, is nowhere near as bad as what she did in his hair. I'm sure she'll get over it.
Okay here's my analysis of the 3 incompetent heros
Ren: he is the most reasonable of the 3 and the only one to really consider his actions. He's naive but will eventually snap. Despite being the youngest he is often shown with the most maturity
Itsuki: He is the second youngest yet acts the most childish. He always holds a grudge and isn't willing to hear what Naofumi says for the sake of his ego. He's basically Robin Hood 2.0.
Motoyasu (fukboi mcgee): Blindly hates Naofumi due to Bitchs manipulation. He has his heart in the right place but it isn't shown that often due to the aforementioned manipulation. Despite being the oldest he doesn't show much intelligence
"Fuckboy McGee" HOW DO I LIKE A COMMENT 100 TIMES *wheeze*
Amazing, Fukboi Mcgee is a great name
Not trying to defend him, but is there such a thing as mind manipulation in this anime? Could be a possibility in terms of spear
@@hunteryt7819 not that we've seen it yet
@@hunteryt7819 There is... But is not used on Motoyasu... He is an idiot...
Out of the 4 heroes the only two decent ones are Naofumi and Ren.Naofumi is cleaning up all the messes the other 3 left behind and is building up his legacy,Ren seems to be disappointed in his actions,he thinks just because it's like a game the enemy he defeats will fade away.When Naofumi was accused of kidnapping Melty Ren wanted to talk it out with Naofumi.If Naofumi met Ren when he was trying to leave the country instead of Motoyasu,Ren would likely have been the one to listen to Naofumi's full story.But that's just my opinion.
Ren is easily the better of the Three Cardinal Stooges, because I feel his head is in the right place, although his heart isn't quite there. After Naofumi tells them of his suspicions of the Church, Ren was the first to take a risk and trust someone he had been set against from the beginning. From what I'm seeing so far, he'll be the first of them to fight alongside Naofumi and apologize for how he treated him.
It makes sense that Ren is the one most like Nafumi considering he's the sword the direct complement to the shield
@@urickmann7768 yeah, that's a very interesting point
"Three Cardinal Stooges" that is the greatest nickname for those three ever
Bitten by a spider, naofumi knows spider man
Well he comes from our specific world (not specific but probably a hair close) since he makes the spiderman joke and says that he didn't know he would end up making a feast for a KFC Farm when he fed all those Chocobos during the Fitoria visit
I'd like to believe it's reality give me little hope man
Spear Hero: Dumb hero
Sword Hero: Smart Hero
Bow Hero: Show-off Hero
Shield Hero: HELL YEAH
Imposter Among us
The sword hero has some redeeming qualities by accepting that he failed but i still don't like and bow and spear
Question how did he feel he killed the thing. How was he supposed to know it was going to come back to life and make a plague how would you know. The man only found out when he went there who would have been me at home and asked a question can all dragons do that why was only that dragon. Everybody in a conversation is literally blaming him for not knowing how does that make sense
@@lonelywolf5659 He should have known that if you leave a corpse out for a long time it will start to rot.
@@lonelywolf5659 not really. To stick to the theme of the clip, what ren did would be like if spider man fought and knocked out a super villain and just left them unconscious in a random alley without tying them up or disarming them at all. The hero usually can't stick around for the aftermath, but they should do something to ensure the cleanup goes well otherwise the problem just comes back, in the case of the spiderman analogy, the super villain goes free with the cops never knowing he was there, in Ren's case, the plague and zombie dragon.
@@lonelywolf5659 Dude looks like 16 how do expect him to think? And besides Its common for no side effects to come from rotting bodies, how was Ren supposed to know it would cause a plague? Yes he was irresponsible but again, look how young he looks.
Flame Mixtape3342 Ren was the youngest of the four, and I think he was 18. Also, while this might’ve been overlooked, when the three listed off what game they were in, Ren called it a VMMORPG, or virtual reality game, like Overlord. The other two just had a computer game, their situations similar to Log horizon, but Ren has a full dive game. Considering the world operates with video game logic, he might’ve genuinely thought that he was still in the game and that monster bodies disappear, like in a game
Of all the heroes that aren’t Naofumi, Sword Hero is probably my favorite. He lives in denial, sure, but he seems to be learning that his actions have consequences.
He literally still thought he was in an actual video game until this point.
I really like Naofumi because he is level-headed, smart and mature, since the beginning he knows that this world is no game. He knows that every action has consequences (unlike the other three morons who has to deal with).
It's been a while so some parts might be off but in the light novel when the other hero failed a wave and naofomi basically saved them (it could be the 2nd wave which changed in the anime?) the other heros basically said that they just respawn in beds if they fail like it's the most logical thing in the world.
To be fair, he thought it was basically a game too until that betrayal fucked him up.
The other three just realized it too late, poor Motoyasu became crazy and got his own series XD
@@DemonicMonkey88 no he thought it was a game like world so he knew death = death , the other three seems to have played games far to similar to the actual melomarc world that they assume all rules are the same as the game while the betrayel showed noufumi that the only demirt to the shield is that he can't become a thot slayer , oh and that he shouldn't trust people like a freaken idiot.
@@ambulancekun3142 ...
The other three thought they could respawn, Naofumi's the only one who realized it early that he wasn't stuck in a game, but a game like world.
Make sense?
To be fair Ren thinks is also level-headed but he doesnt think about the consequences of some of his actions. When Naofumi told him that he screwed up he simply thought oh he was probably right and apologized. Itsuki just listens to whoever has control over the country because when a soldier lied about one of his party members stealing from him and he flat out believed it even after finding out how corrupt the country he was fighting for is. Motoyasu is well needs no explanation.
Notice the sword hero is the only one who believes him, he sees how his companion suffered due to the job he was supposed to do but didnt. I also think that the classic tandem of the sword in shield, where you wield both, plays a little part in this. 'Sasuke' is the only one who gives him a shot.
Gonna be honest
Feels bad for sword hero
I like Ren almost as much as Naofumi, he's a real one
