The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 3 Episode 1 Storyline!
Since the Spirit Tortoise brought up the idea of Guardian Beasts in the second season, it is likely that the first episode of the third season of The Rising of the Shield Hero will be about more Guardian Beasts.
This is also shown by scenes from the second season and ads for the third, which show that Naofumi will have to deal with a Guardian Beast that is based on birds.
After all the criticism the second season got, fans can expect the next season to be a big step up in terms of production.
With the future of the show depending on how well season 3 makes up for season 2, it’s very unlikely that any part of season 3 won’t be visually beautiful.
The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2 Recap!
In Season 2, Naofumi and his team fought the Spirit Tortoise, which was said to be a bigger problem than the Waves of Calamity. Then, Ost Horai joined Naofumi’s group on their way to defeat the Spirit Tortoise.
At first, it seemed like they had beaten the Tortoise. However, the fact that Ost was still living (since she was the Tortoise’s soul) showed that this was not the case. The group then looked at the mountain on top of the Spirit Tortoise. They finally ran into L’Arc, Therese, and Glass, who they had fought in season 1.
Then it turned out that Kyo Ethnina, a Book Hero from another world, was using the Tortoise to get what he wanted. The group was able to beat the Tortoise, who had chased Kyo into his world, because Ost gave up her life.
But they woke up in a jail cell where they met Kizuna Kazayama. Then, the group and Kizuna got away and went on a mission to find Kyo. They do find him in the end, but he takes Raphtalia prisoner and locks her up with Kizuna’s friends.
Once both groups got back together, Kyo’s real goal in making the Waves of Calamity became clear in the last episodes of the season, and the heroes were able to stop it.
