The Rising of the Shield Hero / The Anti-Hero Special Part 1

Betrayed by powerful royalty, dismissed by your companions, and a religion that bans your status; how does a hero rise to power, prominence and respect? Naofumi finds this out the hard way in The Rising of the Shield Hero. Edwin and Jack discuss the many unique story elements that this epic adventure packs in from its Final Fantasy like battle system to Naofumi's natural gift of trade and craft that makes this isekai extremely fascinating. But ultimately we focus on the anti-hero themes and actions Naofumi does in order to survive and fight off waves of monsters and to ultimately protect his party members and the rest of Melmorac. Episode dedicated to Billy Kametz.
