Spear man sure damn the most obnoxious man in the world lmao. Challenging a duel wih Naofumi because the stupid red hair bish plotted to.

This was a rather sad yet sweet episode and thanks to our girl Raphtalia fixing Naofumi's mental state.

Probably one of my favorite episodes the series. It shows the relationship between Naofumi and Raphtalia and how there bond has been set in stone. The fight between the Spear and Shield is also one of my favorite fights in the series. It has stakes thanks to Raphtalia, and Naofumi once again uses unconventional methods to "beat" the Spear hero. It shows off his strategy plus his character traits in how they mesh together for his more unconventional fighting style. We get a glimpse of the curse series, which will become important later on in the show. We get to see Naofumi cry and be comforted and told from someone important to him that they believe he's innocent. Also the moment he see's that Raphtalia has grown into an adult is satisfying. Glad how they sprinkled it in previously in the episode showing that he still literally see's her as a child.

The spear hero has too much confidence, and I nearly teared up at the end when I saw what Raphtalia is willing to commit with Naofumi.

Myne is also a BITCH!!!!

This Kingdom is a pure dumpster fire - why should people even rescue it - it allows slavery and condemns the shield hero having one-
That the other three heroes aren´t the brightest was established pretty much ,it seems there is hope for the other two, but they are so shallow written (not much screentime so far) that it is laughable esp the spear dude.
How everyone just ignored outside interference is pretty much hilarious.

Rapthalia best girl

The Rising of the Shield Hero, episode 4.

I am noticing a bit of a pattern: the main character, Naofumi Iwatani (the Shield Hero), is unfairly victimized to make us sympathize with him. Let’s see how far the story takes this idea.

We now know why Raphtalia (Naofumi’s teammate and, until this episode, also his slave) is growing so quickly. As a demihuman, she grows when she levels up, and since she’s teamed up with one of the Four Heroes, she’s leveling up rapidly. This accelerated growth is also used to excuse the mistreatment of demihumans. It is construed as something that makes them inhuman.

Ren Amaki (the Sword Hero) and Itsuki Kawasumi (the Bow Hero) aren’t necessarily bad people. They just don’t believe Naofumi is strong enough to earn their respect. Still, they’re willing to point to the glaring injustices thrown at him.

Naofumi faces a great challenge with the royal family hating him. Or at least the king, Melromarc Aultcray, and the princess, Malty Melromarc.

This episode is my comfort video for anything now. Other anime had similar beautiful scenes, but the way Tate no Yuusha leverages mistreatment of the MC and his aide and forges it into a bond... chef's kiss.


In short,
Raphtalia = best girl
Don't open your arms if you aren't prepared for a hug.
