Shield Hero - Anime Spoilers & Speculation (for experienced Shield Hero fans only)
This thread is for the experienced Shield Hero viewer (i.e. those of you who are familiar with potentially all the light novels / manga), its purpose is to allow free discussion of theories and speculation over the Shield Hero anime series, it therefore will contain unmarked spoilers. If you are a light novel / manga virgin of Shield Hero, then do not read this thread unless you want to be spoiled (use Speculation & Theories thread instead).
Since posters are expected to be familiar with the light novel / manga, there is no real need for spoiler tags, but feel free to include them if you so wish. Adding a Spoiler tag:
Finally, please remain on-topic and do not use this thread if it's just discussion about the current or previous anime episodes. Also remember that this isn't a light novel / manga discussion thread, if you do want to discuss the light novel then please use the existing thread. |

I know that the anime is changing a lot of stuff from the novel and manga, but after seeing the King use his knights to threaten Naofumi in episode 4 I really hope they keep the scene after the next wave when he tries that again only for Naofumi to call his bluff and threaten them right back.

I'm sure enough they will keep it. IMO, Raphtalia flashback can be 'cut' because it will got another exposition later (and how it done in mines can be time consuming if they followed it straight from source). So there should be no changes for that moment but maybe some details before and after.
The changes itself so far is not bad as it helps defining the moment better, especially as we'll see them another time. I love how they added scar-bro knight, Naofumi went to tower to bait aggro, coordinating evacuation, villagers wanted to help further but retreat once they notice gap of strength; made me wish addition on future is always as good as this. I do looking forward to see scar-bro and his squad on next Wave.

There is an interesting part, that I previously missed in the Manga btw.
In at least one of the heroes realities, the allies seem to have lost WWII, or at least the Pacific war, which might explain how none of them complains about the demi-human discrimination.

Anime!Naofumi is not on same line of thought as here he got scar-bro and villagers tried to fight monsters with him rather than doing all the job by himself. It made more sense if he's taking things as 'why the hell I got all this unfair treatment' rather than 'for god sake, as if what you guys did still not enough to make me mad'.

Yeah,we can consider the anime yet another route, just like the manga and light novel. considering which studio is working in this I have hopes of them fixing problems, particularly someof the villains motivations as the villains are oneof the weakest points of this series.
Like SPOILER , she just wants to increase her level as her ultimate reason and we don't even know why would she want to increase it. |

Next episode is obviously getting the magic stone for Firo's dress and maybe the event with the bandits. Meanwhile ep7 should cover the evil plant and the start of the zombie dragon fight. I'm expecting ep7 to end with the Shield of Wrath being unlocked.

The order change and response really hit overall series perspective. IMHO.
Made me somehow doubt Curse Series can overwhelm him unless they made either the dragon working as vicious mind, other heroes became worse people or [spoiler] kill scar-bro (assuming they introduced him further later), triggering his rage.

I won't put this in spoiler since I'm only addressing Malty's established treatment of the Shield. Thinking about it, I'm not entirely sure she really did all this out of direct hatred or even a specific desire to put him personally down. I don't think she had any feelings or opinion of him at all, or probably of anyone else for that matter. I get the feeling that she initially just wanted to get in the good graces of the most popular hero, get as much control of him as possible, and gain as much as she could as quickly as she could. To do this, she determined that making up a "rescue romance" cliché would be useful, and with the Shield's reputation Naofumi made the perfect villain; and as a bonus she could steal his funds to line her pockets and give herself an even quicker start. She didn't feel anything positive or negative toward him, but once the deed had been done she needed to keep him down as she'd made an enemy of him. A scapegoat with influence or who's given the chance to demonstrate how out-of-character his supposed crimes would be is dangerous, so to protect her own skin she has to push him as far down as possible and hold him there, along with anyone who'd dare to speak well of him. And of course after a while with him thwarting her plans hatred blooms, but only later.
