Sorry I sound so awful guys. My voice is still recovering but I really wanted to get a video out for you so hope you're alright with it!
Don't worry man just heal up and relax

Your health is more important than a vedio + great vedio
Hey it’s alright
You heard of his voice actor, haven't you...?
What makes Naofumi OP: He actually read the instructions.
He's also not a complete idiot
Naofumi in addition to trying to understand the mechanics thinks about different ways to use them to his advantage even if it's not the way it's intended to be used(like any true gamer) the other 3 just spam skills until it dies so even if they read the instructions it probably wouldn't matter given they just spam
If this was a fighting game Naofumi is the type of guy to actually learn and practice the combos and timing while the other 3 just spam the A button and hope it works
Well and him NOT treating the world like a game probably also helped too.
hes not entirely op others are just dumb and weak
Basically understanding the mechanic of the skill and flexing its mechanics

Other 3 Heros: HOW DID BECOME THIS STRONG!!?
Naofumi: I read the manual and terms of service.

@@jokeathrowaway2524 Awesome! I am your 1st like
I think its very admirable for you to have posted a video, whilst not feeling 100%. I hope you get better as I always look forward to your next video.
Thanks again Jose! I hope to keep providing that quality content for you!
Interesting so Naofumi probably has a fundamental understanding of how to approach a situation & what shield works best for it. & Given everything he went through in Season 1 his ability to think ahead of his opponents or the other "Heroes" would be more advanced. 🛡🔰
;)
8====)~~~~
He had to learn basically everything about the new world and was forced to try anything and everything. The LN goes more into details about all his fails
Exactly. Because he had no foreknowledge he was forced learn everything from the ground up including magic and the written language of this world. This also allowed him to quickly realize that, for whatever reason, the foreknowledge the other heroes had often did not match up one to one with the actual world they were summoned to. Also, the other heroes all learned their magic from orbs that just granted them the spells with no knowledge of how it actually worked. Naofumi had to learn from a book. This was far more difficult because he didn’t know the language and magic books seemed to be their own language on top of that, but it gave him far more flexibility in how he casts magic as well as having an understanding of how it actually worked which allowed him to improve and cast more advanced versions of the magic he learned from the books. The other heroes refuse to actually take the time to learn anything, assume everything can be done by their weapons, assume Naofumi learned the written language from a shield unlock, and use it as another excuse to continue being jerks to him because they think he just refuses to tell them the material he gave his shield to unlock the language. One thing I like about this story is that while Naofumi is one of the strongest people around and continues to get stronger he has had to work and suffer for every tiny scrap of it and will continue to do so.
plus with the 4 cardinal weapons ability to summon pick out who gets summoned is playing role in it too, as Shield always gets its first choice but the other three often get dont get there top pick. This leading to the hero they get having general problems.
Naofumi didn't get those cheat crystals to learn magic an learned it through hard work, gave him genera understanding how magic worked an thu made him much stronger.
But ya the other 3 just are trying to brute force every fight while chugging spirit potions as they burn there SP with out a plan
for LN readers, he didnt just read the turtorial. He also searched for walkthroughs 😆
And got that 100% completion mindset
And that achievement hunter guide
Completed New Game +.
He asked for the advice of the other 3 Cardinal Heroes. He listened to the advice even though it was given in a very condescending manner. Then he earnestly sought out ways to apply it all.
Ah, a fellow gamefaqs enjoyer, i see
Eh. I actually like the idea that Naofumi can use Air Strike Shield offensively because it does have the term 'strike' in it. It's not necessarily a damaging move unto itself, but giving it weight and mass and the ability to be moved in such a way that it can ram into a target at the cost of doing virtually no damage like it did against Motoyasu demonstrates something important; a shield CAN be used as a weapon, which is the foundation of the Cursed Series. And if memory serves, Air Strike Shield started the transition to Shield Prison and Iron Maiden, so it stands to reason it would have some offensive qualities as a result if it lead down an offensive path.
Iron Maiden started with shield prison went to change shield attack then ended with Iron Maiden
It original skill suppose to be called 'Erst Shield' erst meaning first in german. Thats why he had another skill called second shield and dritte shield that summon another 'air strike' shield with longer range. Erst-secand-dritte (first-second-third)
The miss typo translation originate from the fan translatiom of the web-novel(Which isnt canon btw people have been kept asking that) and the offical translation for the light novel just went right with it without much more research. This also works for other 'air strike' skill like air strike javelin
The shield wasnt suppose to move nor teleport like how it shown in the tortoise battle. Its like a brick wall being put on certain places until that shield is destroyed or finished run down time
@@MILD676 This is good info, I always just assumed it was Air Strike Shield because being a shield that could be summoned and planted in the air, it works to protect yourself and allies from any sort of air strike... so a shield against air strikes not a shield that does them...
Not how or when, but I had the impression Air Strike was a mistranslation and was supposed to be something along the lines of first, especially if wwe consider the Second Shield and the Dritte(third in german) Shield.
Look up pavise shield, there is one guy who made a custom one with a very sharp end on RUclips and let me tell you it looks dope he also goes into detail on its history and use.
Another thing the light novel talks about but the anime ignores is dissection. Naofumi often dissects new monsters his party kills in order to offer different pieces to the shield. That's how he gets the usapil meat, bone, and leather shields. He also offers up whole monsters as well, which gained him the usapil shield. It isn't stated in the novel, but I think it's safe to assume the other heroes don't do this, as they're pretty arrogant and would likely see the labor of dissection as beneath them. Most of the dissected shields Naofumi gains are quite weak, but by equipping them for just a little while, he can obtain the passive bonus from each. The bonuses are generally pretty weak, but even +1 defense is useful if you have a hundred of them stacking together.
Yeah, the fact that everything stacks should make all the heroes incredibly powerful, the rest have just gotten lazy in how they go about it.
This is one the big reasons why I like the light novels it explains the systems of the weapons and how naofumi gets them, kinda wish the anime would explain them but again I could see why this would drag the anime progression
Thing is... Naofumi is not OP. He is behind or at least as strong as previous generations of heroes. Its just that a lot of knowledge has been lost or politics getting involved, or the pride of the other heroes getting in the way that makes them fall behind.
We see later that Shield Heroes CAN attack and have offensive capabilities in the LN.
And as a small spoiler, the other heroes were not their weapons first choice. Only Naofumi was his weapons first choice.
Could you explain the weapon choice part?
@@pegaferno4429 The weapons are sentient and they get to choose their wielders. So of the Heroes we have, only Naofumi was his weapon's first choice of wielder. The other guys are third stringers.
I have a theory, that legendary shield simply purposely removed offence stats, why you may ask?
Why would you need offence stat if you have 3 legendary heroes who already focus purely on offence, why not focus on your main task: defending and defend other legendary heroes.
Ancient/previous shield hero only had bow hero to relay on. Which is a ranged glass cannon, if he dies, there is no one else(ignoring star heroes). So it does make sense for shield to have low, but still have some offence stats, just in case, but if you have 3 heroes, the chances of them all dyeing before you are low, either you do poor job or your offence stat as shield hero would be useless anyways.
Next thing spirit have mentioned, is that shield heroes DIE super fast, like super fast compared to others, so it would make sense for spirit to perhaps look at more defensive/more tanky hero, to increase likelihood of them surviving.
I feel like shield spirit decided to simply rework/change build of it's weapon and make it's heroes focus purely on defense and no offence.
This is just a theory though.
@@darkpaul1uxgaming269 I believe the nature of the second set of waves may have something to do with that hero having offensive capabilities.
@@sapphirII Oh true, deathmatch kinda went extinct, so yeah it does make sense for changes in waves to effect overall build of the shield.
I always figured Most of Naofumi's OP abilities like Blood Sacrifice, Dark Gas Burning, & Iron Madien were derivative abilities from His Rage & Wrath Shields & the Evil Dragon's DNA he assimilated.🛡
How to be OP: just make and kill a raid boss.
@@nicolrb2210 Or just be The Main Character.
@@user-em6ie2be7x not everyone can be the main character
I do love me some dark gas burning
@@user-em6ie2be7x Main characters are overrated
i think the movement of the air strike shield was something to make it more useful for wider range of defence, but maybe naofumi realised that he can deploy it horizontally and use it as some sort of an impact hit. he is resourceful enough to try something like that out.
Naofume is the perfect example of the saying 'we are the result of our environment. In his case, his successes and powers are the direct result of the horrible treatment at the beginning. Him meeting Raftalia and Filo: because they are the only ones he could trust because of their slave seals which comes with the benefit of making them stronger
I'm really, I mean really disappointed at how the new season disregard the mechanic that Naofumi can't attack. As a fan of the series, the new season disregard the foreshadowing that fitoria is actually a hero. And also doesn't give Justice why he hesitated to kill the spirit tortoise
Isen't it stated in season one that she's a former party member of a prior shield hero just like Filo?
@@warllockmasterasd9142 , in the anime, they left out the fact that residence in the same world can be appointed to be holders of the vasal weapon.
I felt it was pretty obvious why he hesitated... or would be if he was a nicer person like most heroes in anime. Because it was corrupted and not really harming everyone of it's own volition. Kind of. I mean, clearly not entirely, given it's actual intended purpose... but still.
This is great. Please make a part 2 whenever you’re feeling better!
I like your voice here. It's got a depth that makes it seem like you're feeling the things your saying.
It might'a been short, but I still love these in-depth vids!
Do the tortoise shield next! The spirit tortoise said that naofumi won't have to use the rage shield again after obtaining this new shield so I want to know what it does.
Your videos explaining how characters and worlds work are amazing and I look forward to a part two for this video as well as all similar videos.
Ngl I wish there was a shield class in a RPG game but the closest class we got is paladin, seeing this anime made it really cool to just have a shield as a weapon
Thanks for making this video. I work on drafts for my Shield Hero fanfiction, and your video can help me a lot.
I'm looking forward to your coverage of the rest of S2
So I decided to use this as a drinking game and took a shot every time you said "Naufumi", I'm suprised I'm not dead.
Im sure people have heard of it already but their diverging from the manga and lightnovel now having raphatalia end up with naofumi rather than being separated in the new world, i wonder what their planning. Really hope they aren't going to pull an akame ga kill and end the series early or something.
Day 35 of asking for a grand assassin hassan servant review
I was very much worried when I saw episode 7... and the first "oh dear lord WHY STUDIO WHY!" Was the Raphtalia flag....
It's bad enough they are screwed up over 6 episodes, now we have to trust in their "Creativity" to fix it?
We're doomed.
It seems like they are purposely trying to speed run through the plot.
@@olandir Though to be fair, the studio working on this is far more used to working on longer projects and they are just now getting back on track. Shield Hero is far more suited for a movie adaptation rather than a show adaptation. Shield Hero has a lot of plot and rules for a show.
I hope you get better. Thanks for posting a video despite not being at your best . Cheers!
Must say, Webnovel is great for getting exposure as a writer. But if you hit success, you can't really progress financially without signing a contract that can be a bit restricting.
A bit? Aren't they infamous for their unfair contracts? Or am I thinking of something else?
@@jm6456 yeah that's them.
@@jm6456 Can you explain?
Your videos are the inital reason I wanted to read the light novels and have been going through them rapidly. What really started that ball rolling was the horrid execution of Season 2 of the anime. Glad I can still get great info from your videos like the bits that only show up in the manga like the Pipe Shield. Keep up the good work.
Mans gots more shield than my grades and he reads and understand the instruction and not a stupid
Good to hear you are ok to record at least and thanks for taking the time even if you are not 100%
dont rush Mr aninews sir
this just gives u more time to dish out those videos edit them while u recover yourself
5:40 In the anime the scene makes it look like he throws the shield into Motoyasu but it’s the reverse, it’s Motoyasu that crashed into the stationary shield when Naofumi made it appear in his path.
Before season 2 I always thought the air strike shield always just had insane knock back when he used it to “attack” no actual damage but because it’s moving so fast it could knock the wind out of someone but no actually lower HP
Or it knocked him back because Motoyasu is dumb af and he wasn't expecting it, mainly.
"That's one of my greatest features!"
- some dragon
Your videos are awesome. You explain every thing so easy to follow what's going on from the books to the anime. Keep up the awesome work and I look forward to seeing your next shield hero video.👍
Genuinely needed to watch your cut contents for season two and this to even consider watching shield hero again after episode 2
What you are doing here is really awesome. I always wait for the videos here.
He's absurdly broken despite having a defensive weapon
yeah reading is a good thing.
It's naofumi's "Soul" that op as the shield will do whatever it can within reason to have "help" naofumi. Good or for not as the Warth was gained due to naofumi breaking.
Defensive builds are underrated. If you have huge resistance, you can just wage a war of attrition
Especially after he uses Blood Sacrifice
@@warbrain1053 They definitely are. Most games let you have 5 playstyles.
1: Setter (You tank and enable teammates through crowd control)
2: Bruiser (Tank and deal big damage back)
3: Tank (You just eat a lot of damage and can take aggro)
4: Support Tank (Debuff or buff while tanking)
5: Self Sustain Tank (They can keep their own health high)
For Mobas you'll see a lot of setters/peelers pulling in enemies to then get deleted by the team's dps players.
Bruisers and tanks are more common in most games.
Support tanks can be seen in turn based games.
Self Sustain tanks is very common in pokemon and Mobas.
One of the more extreme examples I have would probably be Persona 5 Royale. One of my demons passively had massive damage reduction, status cleanse and insta-kill immunity. My passive sustain let me recover 98% of my HP at the start of every turn and I had 1 auto revive for every battle. You can only make it very late game where it's not needed but I could enable auto-battle for ng+ against hard usually late game boss and passively over level myself while I do other things.
I know there are games that let you just nuke everything or have high difficulties do too much damage that you can't tank but for the once with more combat depth having variety is good. I know for 1v1 in pokemon self sustain tanks can be very strong if they can also give a health draining status effect to the opponent.
As much as I love this anime, the pacing and direction they went with the story for this season is not it for me. Of course I love scenes getting animated but as someone who read the manga there were just some points that are off for me. Also cant wait for part 2 for this video! Hope you get well soon.
I actually stopped watching season 2, because the pacing is so horrid. They completely ruined Ost and the moment I saw what they did with the Arc where Naofumi meets Kizuna I just lost interest. The anime completely butchered the story. I guess I'll just stick to the manga and LN. The Light Novel is great. Naofumi has so many great scenes in it, that it feels like a completely different story from the Anime. Maybe I'll start reading volume 13 soon. After the anime butchered the current arc, i have no reason to withhold myself from actually reading the good parts.
I can understand how you feel though I still enjoy watching anime if for no other reason than to compare and contrast. In short I can praise what the anime does well and critique what poorly if only to myself
@@fightking100 Very much true. I love the anime for its own reason. Just kinda disheartened that its not like what I read in the manga but then again placing the idea that anime = manga shot for shot was my own fault when in actuality the manga isnt directly the same as the LN based on what I read on.
@@kerrvyap I'd also argue the manga's pacing isn't good either, just the inverse.
Dude I used to read the manga and the direction the story goes gets worse. I got so bored I put it down
Whenever you get back to 100% I can’t wait for part two of this video.
Naofumi unlike the other heros put EVERYTHING into his shield. He broke down mobs into Skin,Meat,Organs, and bones cause he almost always got a different shield when he did this. The skin would be the strongest defense shield, the meat would give him a shield that would give him bonus to cooking, organs and bones gave him bonus to craft skills and abilities. This wasnt all the time, but alot of the time, with the results mixed sometimes like bone being the strong shield or skin giving crafting bonuses. But once he master a shield he kept the + to stats and abilities except for equip effects like shields with counter strikes like Dog shield and snake venom shield. So he was getting alot of +1 to +3s to his stats for every shield. The other heros mostly focused on boss or tougher mobs to put into their weapons so even though they were higher level then Naofumi Naofumis stats were MUCH higher. Thats why Spear guy could only really hurt Naofumi with his power attacks even though he was 20 levels higher then him.
PS yes he also put different plants,grasses and weeds into his shield as well as items he crafted.
If you've ever played Pokemon you would know that a tank that can inflict poison and do passive damage through counters is the most frustrating thing to face off against!!!!!! That's why it annoys me that he doesn't rely on that more often against his opponents!!!!! As much as I love the anime and manga!!!!! It's one of my all time favorites!!!!!
that is why i choose bulbasaur as starter. Having leech, poison and healing breaks the game. My venausaur could solo team of legendary (until i drained out of sp or potions).
His counters are rather weak, although they do get increased by increasing the rarity of the shield by the sword energy system, and he get in book 22 a new method that increase skill but using it more. That being said, I don't expect to see him use more counters.
He does use counters. The venom snakes from the green chimera viper shield and some other are usually being used by him. The problem is that he sometimes dont have the much time to do counters. The counters also becoming more weak as they are facing an even greater enemy
Counters can be easily exploited and doesn’t work if the opponent can break his defense easily.
That right there is one of the reasons even at the start Maple from Bofuri was an absolutely disgusting opponent for people to fight. Nigh immortal defensively and had one of if not the most busted poison skills in the game
Hi! Could you make sort of a comparasion video between season 1 and 2?
When I looked at the ad read I thought that I press another video your voice is really great for this kind of content
1. Love the content hope you feel better.
2. This season is incredibly frustrating. Two episodes off the mark followed up by a solid one. Rush through the spirit turtle but give us a hype final move. Change up the events from the LN only to circle back to it. I really wanna love this show but dammit they make it difficult
you do such a great job on these videos. on some weeks i'm more excited to see your new video over the anime your talking about. great work
Sorry about your voice. Hope you get well soon. Thanks for the video
Hiya sam, thanks for making these videos!
Naofumi did have an Attack Shield long before he fought Glass. Remember The Bat Echo Shield...? The shield powerful enough to blow out that Chimera's Ear Drums? I wonder why he didn't use that shield more often? 🤔
Deafness is undesirable.
@@user-on5dl9hc2z Usually with status effects (Like in RPG's) it would only effect whatever the echo shield would've been pointed at not Naofumi or his allies.
That shield just boosts sound, maybe indirect damage
Why he will use it if can nuke the battlefield ?
@@user-em6ie2be7x when he used it on the nue he had raphtalia and the witch block their ears. plus the nue had better hearing and would be more effective than on other people
Can't wait got the next vid you do, because of you I picked up the light novel and I'm loving it.
Thanks for the video! Hope you feel better soon!
Bro! Bro! Bro! I hope your still reading this I just want to say that enerytime I watch your videos I always get the urge to rewatch that specific anime, your voice gives my brain a restart making it forget the contents of that anime thank you👌
Very well detail and cool level of his skills and ability with his party and tactics in battle , Keep up the good work and feel better soon dude!!!!
My guy is still doing videos when not feeling well, thank you for that but please take care of yourself :)
Nice video btw !
Ah, i wish you would continue to do this series. I know S2 was a bit of a dissapointment but overall this series is soo good.
Thanks for this Great Video about the Shield Hero. Get some rest and get well soon.
Appreciate these videos bro frfr 🙏🏿 💯
Thanks for trying so hard to make us content
you know I really do love your content. keep up the great work.
I'd love to see more DanMachi entries in this series; I've been particularly curious about whether anyone other than Bell could've won against Epimetheus.
Uh... Ottarl or maybe Ais? Finn is apparently even stronger than where Ais is currently... though not by much. I honestly think Ottarl is the best alternate option atm.

It been far too long ,feel alive again ☺️☺️
Thank you the video
And please GET WELL SOON
How the second part of this video comes out soon, and I hope you do more cut content on season two, cause after rereading the arcs that season 2 covers via the manga, there's a whole lot of stuff that was taken out. Hopefully you'll show us what we missed out on in the anime.
An idea I thought of is something I’m curious if the writers ever thought of
What if Naofumi had a custom offensive shield built for him, like a bladed shield
He can pick up and copy shields from his surroundings, so why wouldn’t he just get a custom shield with blades along the edge or something, then he COULD fight without the need for skills
we want more info about shield hero's power! get well soon and take your time, we'll be waiting!!
i have webnovel for a few years now and i love it. thenk you for this video ,its a big help for me.
Feel better my guy!
Thank you so much for the content please focus on your health and get well soon man
Continue your great job man i love this channel so much 🔥
That’s enlightening.
Shields can be surprisingly lethal in combat depending on how you use them
but it's all magic...
Yes but apparently Naofumi can't even do damage, really. It's somewhat covered in one of the Cut Content videos. He punches Motoyasu in the face to prove he can't do damage. Now, as mentioned here, maybe with the Attack +3 from that one shield, he could've done SOME damage... but he needs like attack +100 to really be able to kill anything.
It makes sense for him to make his party slaves. It boosts their growth and can easily be removed later on. People complained about how the anime wants to show slavery is a good thing.. It isn't, but Naofumi doesn't make them slaves because he wants to force them to do something against their will. He wants to help them grow and uses all of his different shields to his advantage which is a big pro gamer move to me
Plus they literally can’t betray him.
"The best defense is a good offense"
Glad you feel better. thanks for the info.
Thanks for the awsome video bro
Thank you! Love your videos!
The fact that not being overcome by the rage shield made him turtley enough for the turtle club was clearly an obvious inevitable spoiler when all 3 of the girls stopped him from being controlled by rage in season 1. It ain't called "Rising of the shield hero" for chips and giggles.
Wow I saw my name 🤣😅😂 ... Looking forward with cut contents and hopefully you do the I'm a spider and so what
You content is the best!
Feel better soon, buddy.
11:05 we will be ready for Part 2
:-P Happy doggo
Love your videos!
Keep it up!
Great video as always try rest until you feel better inchallah and I love your voice bro
Well you have a certain way ( and the voice ) to keep those explanations really interesting so ...
please do trat your self and please do continue ^^
man, i love legendary mechanic its really good
take a break if you need it Sam we all could use a bit of rest sometimes also i cant wait to see you at anime expo in a little over a month
I thought him using the airstrike shield as a projectile was because it would kind of stun the person. For the spirit tortoise I thought was using it to stop it from regenerating
Good video !
Thanks for this video
Hello.
Would you mind making a video about Miyamoto Musashi from Fate Grand Order?
Greetings.
Thanks for this video, I really like to know how the power system of every novel works
In the beginning the shield spear fight was mentioned where naofumi used air strike shield and he basically threw the shield at Motoyasu thats not a skill he gains until very late into the light novel. I'm talking around I think it was around 20 to 21 maybe even 22. But it does exist.
Hope you're feeling better now.
Hope you get well soon!
Feel better brother
Hope you feel better
Did you really drop the cut content series for the rest of season 2 of shield hero?
BTW R.I.P too his English dub VA Billy Kametz you would be missed
Personally, I love his “GUN” shield.
This sounds like a really good preset for an RPG. I'd love to play as shield hero, even though having 0 attack constantly feels like a pain in the neck :D
So you going to do how strong the black phantom is next
