The Rising of the Shield Hero (盾の勇者の成り上がり)

Before I was summoned to another world,

I was an ordinary otaku who dabbled in a little bit of everything.

The real world is a shithole. I don't belong here.

And my games were the one thing that helped me forget that.

I spent most of my time selling items to relax,

but sometimes I'd lead clans doing high-difficulty content.

I was a genius!

I could do anything!

My experiments and inventions made me famous throughout the whole country!

Online games were just one of many things I enjoyed as an otaku.

tl;dr + don't care

Name: Nameless Vagrant

Diedie i'll kill you all die

Name: Nameless Vagrant

somebody ban this loser

Name: Nameless Vagrant

Games were all I had.

My life in those games was my reality!

I hacked your IP

My life was an ordinary one, and I thought it would last forever.

I wanted to wake up from this nightmare.

So what am I doing here?

I'm here in a totally new world, and I...

I'm just doing what they told me to!

I'm not wasting my time with that crap!

This is the second life I wanted!

So I'm gonna seize it for all its worth!

Different worlds, ruled by different laws.

Shatter their different barriers and manifest its power here!

The Wave of Calamity, Dimension Wave!

The Rising of the Shield Hero

Naofumi-san, this is...

Episode 12 Reason to Fight

Yes! That's a Wave!

Then the others...

They were sent to the Wave because they're this world's Cardinal Heroes and their followers.

No...

There was still time!

Why?

Look, Master!

Get in, everyone!

Where are the others?

They stayed to help with the Waves.

It's all Kyo's doing...

He used the power he stole from the Spirit Tortoise to create a Wave!

You knew, and you still helped him?

Naofumi-sama!

But I didn't think he'd do this!

I thought he'd use the Spirit Tortoise's power to protect this world from the Waves!

So, what are you even doing here?

Kizuna told me...

they'd handle the Waves.

And that I should help you instead.

Kizuna believed in me, even though I'm a fool.

For her sake, I will throw aside my pride and bring the Shield Hero to Kyo!

As the Wielder of the Boat Vassal Weapon, I will bring you to Kyo.

All right.

Take me to where that bastard's waiting!

Bait Lure!

Blank-Stance Rondo: Moon Break!

Thanks, Glass!

It was nothing...

They just keep coming!

How do we stop this?

We may need to defeat Kyo, the one who summoned it!

Naofumi...

This is it?

Kyo's lab.

Thank you, Ethnobalt!

We'll handle the rest!

The others have seen the Waves, but Kizuna hasn't.

She'll feel a lot better with you there.

All right.

Stay safe, everyone!

You too, Ethnobalt!

Let's go!

These are all used in Kyo's experiments, huh?

Yes, that's right.

Vengeance... Vengeance for Kazuki-sama!

These are...

Chimeras?

A fusion of a human and a Byakko copy?

Kyo!

That's...

The same sword Yomogi-san was using?

We'll defeat you...

If we defeat you, Kazuki-sama will come back!

Kyo promised us!

So he talked them into being sacrificial pawns?

Like he did with you?

Stop...

That won't bring your master back!

I'm sorry, but...

We don't have time to waste here!

It only took an instant?

I think it's because of the jewel that Therese-san gave me!

It gives you the same power as Filo's High Quick?

I'm fast, too!

Kazuki-sama...

For Kazuki-sama...

No!

Air Strike Shield!

Second Shield!

Dritte Shield!

Shield Prison!

Meteor Shield!

Are you guys okay?

Yes!

I think so...

It's so dusty!

Well, so much for this lab!

But you still screwed it up, like everybody else.

You're all useless.

Kyo!

Hey there, Shield Shithead!

I'm not happy at all to see you again.

Agreed.

But coming here was the only way to kick your ass.

Kazuki-sama! Kazuki-sama!

See! I brought him back!

That's impossible...

A mirror?

He didn't come back to life!

That's a homunculus Kyo made!

The soul that dwelled in his body during life is gone!

The body is empty!

He forced the soul of the Wielder of the Mirror Vassal Weapon into it!

What?

The Wielder of the Mirror Vassal Weapon? The one who went missing?

Spoiler warning, bitch.

No blood flows through his veins. His soul is a different person's.

That isn't the comrade they love!

No... No!

Well, there you go.

Have fun dying against a dead guy, morons!

I won't let you get away!

Raphtalia!

Naofumi-sama, I can handle this.

I can hear the voice of the Wielder of the Mirror Vassal Weapon.

He's begging to be released.

I get it...

The Vassal Weapon Wielders are resonating!

Go, Shield Hero!

And stop Kyo!

I'll help!

Okay!

Let's go, Rishia!

Um... okay!

Wow!

I can fight like I did before!

What is that?

As someone who helped Kyo,

is it my duty to put their suffering to an end?

I'll liberate you now.

Kyo!

Finally!

It's finally just the two of you!

The green-haired moron and the Shield Shithead!

You're the two that I need to kill myself!

So you caused that last Wave using Ost's power?

Of course I did!

Can't you tell?

This is all that turtle's power!

I used a lot of it,

but I can just go back to your world and get more!

Oh, but I guess the stupid turtle is dead.

So what's the other one again? Some kind of big bird?

Shut up.

I can't hear you—

Shut up !

I'm sick of you.

Sick of hearing your voice, sick of seeing that smirk on your face...

Naofumi-san?

Who the hell do you think you are?

Coming into our world and treating it like it's your toy!

Right now, you're the ones in my world.

So it's "our world" now?

Guess you really are the Shield Hero now!

Yes! That's it!
