What Is The Rising of the Shield Hero?ย
The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 3 ended with the tease that we would finally be seeing more of Raphtalia’s origin and where her people came from, and it’s all happening because Naofumi ended up sparking a war with the country by accident. If you wanted to catch up with the anime in the meantime before the new episodes premiere, you can now find the first three seasons of The Rising of the Shield Hero now streaming with Crunchyroll. They tease what to expect from the anime series as such:ย
“Iwatani Naofumi, a run-of-the-mill otaku, finds a book in the library that summons him to another world. He is tasked with joining the sword, spear, and bow as one of the Four Cardinal Heroes and fighting the Waves of Catastrophe as the Shield Hero. Excited by the prospect of a grand adventure, Naofumi sets off with his party. However, merely a few days later, he is betrayed and loses all his money, dignity, and respect. Unable to trust anyone anymore, he employs a slave named Raphtalia and takes on the Waves and the world. But will he really find a way to overturn this desperate situation?”
