The Rising of the Shield Hero

Media Recommendations #40

Thursday 10/11/22

So hey 40 Media Recommendations? That's a pretty big number, and it only took me most of a year and a half on what was originally a weekly project.

I have nothing too special in mind for Entry Number 40, it's just another week, another couple things I waste my spare time on. Maybe if I reach 50 I'll do something more interesting?

Anyway ignore the slight passive aggressive fight I'm having with myself. This week I'm recommending one of fave recent anime series.

The Rising of the Shield Hero

Aneko Yusagi/ Kinema Citrus DR Movie

The Pitch

Naofumi was a college age nerd living in regular Japan when one day he happened upon a seemingly random half finished book in a local library. Next thing he knows, he's been summoned to the fantasy, slightly videogamey land of Melromarc. He and four other strangers have been summoned to act as heroes in the fight against demonic waves of monsters threatening the kingdom.

Each of the four Cardinal Heroes are mastery of one main type of medieval equipment. Sword, Spear, Bow, and... Shield. Due to ancient superstitions and the meddling of a local religion, it soon becomes clear to Naofumi that the Shield Hero is not smiled upon. Each hero may only weild their designated weapon, so all Naofumi can do is protect himself and those in his party.

A scandal is fabricated and any support from the throne is dissolved. Naofumi the Shield Hero is left the fend for himself in this cruel world. He recruits the help of a slave "demi-human" (part animal people with lesser rights) named Raphtalia, who becomes his sword. Together they grow to make themselves stronger, both physically and within. They are also joined by a magical bird girl named Filo, who fights with Raphtalia for Naofumi's affection.

Despite the reputation that is thrust upon the Shield Hero, Naofumi is a man of the people. He fights for the little guy, travelling across the land saving towns from famine, defeating evils, and righting wrongs. And although he tries to act tough, treating it as a business that he gets paid for, the Shield Hero, Raphtalia, and Filo become known throughout the land for their kindness and heroism.

My Thoughts

Many Isekai stories welcome the protagonist as a portent of good fortune, or introduce an unlikely hero who quickly gains favour with a key figure to grow into a light for the realm, but Rise of the Shield Hero is an interesting story of a protagonist that is quickly demonised, and shunned by society at large. And unlike some other quirky takes on the genre (e.g. Kono Suba), Shield Hero doesn't show a quick turn around for redemption.

Naofumi abandons the royal family, and only shows kindness to those he knows can't help themselves. The way he treats heroism as a business, with an expectation of payment everytime, is a stance I haven't seen a lot in fantasy anime. But the subtle way he is lenient with how he is payed and how much, shows that he still has the humanity that makes him the Hero of the Shield.

At the time of writing, there are two seasons, and in my opinion, the first season is waaay stronger. Without spoiling, the first season is about Naofumi and Raphtalia growing as heroes, and about them and the other Cardinal Heroes coming together as a force for the greater good. The second season, although presented as a tale of equally grand scale, feels almost like a side story spinning off from the main plot (for most of it at least). Since Naofumi has done most of his growing, it is less of an interesting journey, in my opinion at least. They do put more focus on characters around Naofumi growing, and although it is engaging, it's not as compelling.

That growth is also something I want to commend the series on. Although sometimes it can come across as edgy, Naofumi's hatred and rage at his treatment is fuel for his character. He doesn't just smile and shake hands once he proves himself worthy of the title of Hero. He holds onto the grudge, and this anger becomes a source of power in itself. And I mean a literal power that he can use to defeat monsters. But it damages his soul, and the journey he takes to leave that rage behind takes most of the series to resolve, and goes well into season 2. And it makes sense. It's hard to forgive being wronged, it's easy to hold onto anger. But it's not good for you.

The best lessons we can take away from Rise of the Shield Hero are about being your best self. Don't allow yourself to be pushed around, make your own destiny. And it's OK to be angry when you're wronged. But don't let that anger consume you. You have to let it go to become a better person.

Thanks for Reading

One of my favourite anime, features three of the most exciting, interesting, flawed, and iconic waifus. This piece is one of my more recent Digital Art Pieces. Pretty proud of them, particularly the Megumin one (my fave).
