      It also kinda explains that Raphtalia is not very smart or clever, quite stupid actually. She needed explanation from Naofumi to grasp the whole seriousness of the situation. Can be seen from her reaction. Or maybe she was just too lost in a thought, being proteccted by Naofumi, explained by blush.

      That's usually the way it works though. Old people are usually conservative and set-in-their-ways.

At least, as long as their mental growth isn't being stifled by their family/social group.

    0:46 This moment right here was an interesting one for me.
    Raphtalia’s sword is actually aiming for Mister Asschin McBullshitter, or the guy “in charge” of the knights (and presumably the one who ordered the friendly fire). The only reason this idiot is still alive is because of Sir Scarface blocking Raphtalia’s lunge like a boss.
    When you compare Asschin’s face to Scarface’s...face, you can tell Scarface is a professional, seasoned war veteran who values action over words. He immediately put himself in harm’s way to stop a lightning quick demi-human from goring his superior. The man is completely fearless.
    Comparing that to Asschin, who’s more concerned about pissing on the Shield Hero (and pissing his pants at every real sign of danger), and you can tell it was only through red tape that this guy became head of the knights. He’s a blowhard trying to cash in on the situation, not actually helping people.
    Makes you wonder how their standings and attitudes will affect their destinies in the coming weeks...

      The only thing lacking is the spears. I understand the fact that not everybody knows medieval history and doesn't know that spears were the dominant weapon of the warfare but I guess the formation still serves its purpose. They're closely aligned with shields and their swords are protruding out keeping the enemy at bay and morilizing your own men to fight. So I guess it still works somewhat ?

      @@sgtsaldl I am not an expert on my own, but I can explain it to you if you want.
      The " phalanx" formation is one of the most famous war tactics and it was supposedley used by the conqueror Alexander the great around 338 a.c. - 168 d.c.
      The phalanx is composed by a close-rank formation of heavy infantry aligned with long spears and interlocking shields as it's said by the article of the "ancient history encyclopedia" .
      The purpose of this tactic is to demoralize the enemy infantry without compromising defense, in which case, the territory that favored this kind of formation was mostly flat land, free from any obstacle that could break it's cohesion and ruin it's effectiveness.
      In case you're still reading and you haven't gone anywhere yet, I asume that you can see the main problem with the scene we were talking about. There is literally no reason for them to yell "phalanx!" Out of nowhere if they've got not enough forces to keep the enemy's strenght at bay, nor the ideal terrain to execute the formation, and most important, if they have no freaking spears!! xD

    • @pattygreen8064
      @pattygreen8064 5 лет назад +44

      @@Ganom-ng1zt the phalanx had been around in practice long before alexander, his addition was to make even longer spears than those currently in use by his countrymen. a phalanx or shield walls of different types most likely have been around since the dawn of warfare, while some like alexander used this tactic to great effect with longer spears and tightly structured disciplined formations he is not the originator. the spear was a main part of the formation not just for the reach it provides but because spears were cheap to produce and easy to use making them perfect for larger armies of poorly trained conscripts. in practice however spears break or get disarmed quickly once the opposing force closes ground and more often than not the bulk of the fighting was done with shorter melee weapons, at least for those in the front rows. the spears allowed those farther back from the front to reach over top and assist the front lines with well timed spear strikes taken from relative safety behind a row or two of defenders.
      while you are right it is used to great effect on an open battle field . it has nothing to do with having superior numbers it is a defensive stance that allows a smaller disciplined force to defend itself while outnumbered. they have every reason to take this formation given the fact that they are surrounded by enemies. the lack of spears is a complete non issue due to the fact that their numbers ARE so low those near the center of formation can still reach to strike over the heads of their allies without needing the extra reach a spear provides, so while not technically a true "phalanx" and more just a shield wall the differences in the end are somewhat small and i think its more an issue with translation and the fact that the term phalanx is so widely used and recognized. this term is used often in video games as well as a stand in for any group defensive stance.

      @James Schulte This is incorrect. As evidenced when people were giving Raphtalia free things and saying "You grew up to be very beautiful", Naofumi only saw her as how he got her. He proves this by calling everyone lolicons.
      In ep 4 when she finally brings him back from his despair he comments on not even recognizing her, showing he had no concept of the fact that she, let alone the world around him had evolved beyond what it was when he got her.
      Right now Naofumi needs someone he can trust. Raphtalia gave him a reason to fight, a reason to care. That kind of character development though? It takes time.

    • @MrDibara
      @MrDibara 5 лет назад +12

      To be frank, this kind of wear feels a lot more attractive and beautiful then the overly exaggerated or exposing outfits most fantasy settings make women wear. I feel that kind of trend is good for maybe one or two characters at most, same for the "Conan, the Barbarian" look, but not as a standart for everyone else.
      Raphtalia's costume actually looks pretty medieval-like, despite her legs showing (the only "scanty" side of her outfit). Heck, those sleeves almost look like gambesons from a certain perspective! She looks like she's actually wearing light armor. I think that's really neat.
      EDIT: Okay, correction, maybe not at this point yet. But later on, Raphtalia's costume really gets an upgrade and actually looks like light armor.
      But yeah, even here, I'm glad her clothes aren't the stereotypical *almost nude "armor"* that's so overly used, sometimes. XP
      Like I said, when that becomes a standart, it stops being cool and just becomes ridiculous. Well, I'm my personal opinion, at least.

    It's the reason the heroes were summoned and it's a shit ton of danger to everyone in the area.
    Let's just compare a generic isekai like SAO to Shield hero with a metaphore.
    In SAO, if you get punched in the face you don't feel it and you punch harder
    In Shield hero, if you get punched you fall back, you feel pain, you have a mark on you and you're not punching any harder.
    The punch matters in that show and that's what makes it so good.

      SAO can barely be considered an Isekai so that comparison is horrible. You're also comparing getting punched in reality vs getting punched in a video game simulation and treating it as the same is also wrong. Going by your logic, Bleach, Dragon ball and Yugioh would be considered Isekais.

      The thing about SAO and feeling pain is interesting. You only feel a slight thud on you if you're playing the game normally, but the feeling of knowing you're taking damage and you might die is the kick.
      Your mind is what makes it real and SAO through Nerve Gear goes mostly through your brain, through your mind, they know it's a death game and they feel every single bit of pain they suffer. From exhaustion to thirst to hunger. In SAO it's all real to them, since if they think it's happening, well then it's happening.

Not showing even a modicum of respect or restraint in situations like that were a great way to either incite a rebellion or die from a dagger in the back. That's the whole reason the Queen didn't play a major role until the last few episodes - she was doing major damage control to prevent a world war. If she hadn't done that, Melromarc would have been summarily destroyed by the other nations. No amount of Heroic or Holy weapons would've saved them. The queen even said as much.
