Original subtitles

Before I was summoned to this otherworld, I lived in Japan,

enjoying to the fullest my life as a gamer.

Reality was total shit. I didn't have a place in the world.

Games were the only thing that let me forget that.

Sometimes, I would dedicate myself to selling items,

and sometimes, I would lead a clan on raids.

I was a genius. I could do anything.

The kingdom sung my praises for my discoveries and inventions.

MMOs were one of the things I enjoyed in gaming.

Games were all I had.

Games were the true reality.

I thought that my life would never change. I'd keep playing forever.

I wanted to escape from that nightmare.

But what am I doing here?

I was summoned to an otherworld. But what am I doing?

I'm just fulfilling the role that I was given.

Hell if I'm gonna do something that stupid!

This is the second life I always wanted!

I'm not wasting it without enjoying it to the fullest!

Break past the different defenses of a different world ruled by different laws

and bring about a different phenomenon!

Wave of Catastrophe!

Dimensional Wave!

(The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2)

"Reason to Fight" Master Naofumi! Is this...

Yeah. A Wave just broke.

Then where did Kizuna and the others go?

The Four Cardinal Heroes of this world must've been teleported to the Wave to fight it.

But then...

We should've had more time. Why?

Master! Look there!

Please get on board, everyone!

Where are Kizuna and the others?

They remained in the other location to combat the Wave.

Kyo did all of this.

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

You knew he'd do this, and you still helped him?!

Master Naofumi!

But I didn't think that he would do something like this.

I thought that he would use the power of the Spirit Tortoise to stop this world's Waves.

So why did you come waltzing back to us for?

Kizuna told me...

They would do something about the Wave,

so for me to help you and your companions.

Kizuna believed in me despite my foolishness.

If she so wishes, I will accept any shame to lead the Shield Hero to Kyo!

I am the Ship Hero. I will see to it that you are delivered safely as well.

Okay. Take us there.

Take us to where that shithead is.

Lure Multiplier!

Ring Dance Void: Moon Splitter!

Thanks, Glass!

Of course.

There's no end to them!

How do we end this thing?

Perhaps we need to defeat Kyo as the originator of the Wave?

Naofumi...

This is it?

This is Kyo's laboratory.

Thanks, Ethnobalt. We'll handle things from here.

Huh?

L'Arc and Glass have been through this before, but this is Kizuna's first Wave.

She'll be in good hands with you there.

Very well.

Please do stay safe.

You too, Ethnobalt!

Let's go.

So these are all for Kyo's experiments?

Yes. That's right.

Revenge...

Revenge for Sir Kazuki...

Aren't these people...

Chimeras?!

Did you combine humans with Byakko's replicas, Kyo?!

That... looks like the sword that Yomogi fought us with.

We will kill you. If we kill you, Sir Kazuki will be revived.

That is what Kyo promised!

So that's what he told them to turn them into pawns?

Just like you.

Stop this! Nothing can bring the dead back to life!

My sincere apologies, but we cannot afford to waste time here!

In one instant?!

Thanks to this gem that Therese gave me.

It gives you something like Filo's High Quick?

What?! But I'm fast too!

Sir Kazuki...

For Sir Kazuki...

Crap!

Erst Shield!

Second Shield!

Dritte Shield!

Shield Prison!

Shooting Star Shield!

Are you all okay?!

Yes!

I-I think so.

It's all dusty!

Man, look at the mess you've made!

Why do you all have to screw up everything?

Useless retards!

Kyo!

Long time no see, Shieldpid Hero!

It's a pissy day to see you again.

Same here.

Too bad I can't kick your ass without seeing you again.

Ha!

Sir Kazuki...

Sir Kazuki!

Yup! I brought him back to life like I said!

You couldn't possibly do-

A mirror?

He was not brought back to life.

That's a homunculus that Kyo made!

The soul that was in the body was already gone. It was empty.

He forced the soul of the possessor of the Mirror of the Vassal Weapons into it!

What?!

The Mirror of the Vassal Weapons? They said it had gone missing!

Man, why'd you have to spill all that, retard?

The body has no blood. The soul is of another.

That is not the man that they had served!

No... No!

Well, that's how it is!

So anyway...

Fight this dead guy, retards!

You won't get away!

Raphtalia?!

Master Naofumi, I will take him.

I can hear it. The voice of the Mirror.

It wants me to free it.

I see. The Vassal Weapons are resonating with each other!

Please go, Shield Hero.

Please stop Kyo.

I'll help too!

Okay.

Let's go, Rishia!

Huh? Uh, right!

Wow! I can fight like I used to!

Ugh. What is that thing?

As one who was accomplice to Kyo, ending you will be what little atonement I can enact.

We'll free you now.

Kyo!

Ah, finally!

It's finally just you two.

The green-haired retard and the Shieldpid Hero.

I won't be satisfied until I personally wring both your necks.

It seems you used Ost's power to invoke that Wave.

That's right!

Heck, isn't that freaking obvious?

This is all energy from that turtle.

I used up a lot of it.

Well, I can always go back to your world and get more!

Oh, but that stupid turtle's dead.

What's the next one? Was it a giant bird?

Shut up.

Huh? I can't hear you, dumb-

Shut up!

(The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2)

I'm freaking tired of hearing your voice and your condescending face!

Naofumi?

What the hell is with you?

You just waltz into our world and do whatever the hell you want!

Oh? But you're in my world doing whatever the hell you want right now.

And you even call it "our" world? You're the Shield Hero to the cockles of your soul!

Yes! That's it!

I've always wanted to see that look on your face!

The look when I separated you from that demi-human brat was priceless too!

It's too bad about that bird brat!

I wanted her to be fried chicken before you could find her!

And it's all because you interfered with my plans by acting like a hero!

Naofumi?

How do you feel?

You mad?

Pissed as hell?

You can't wait to kill my ass?

Yeah, you are, aren't you?

Right? Right?

Yeah, that's right!

You messed with the people I hold dear!

I'm gonna kill you right now, so shut up, bastard!

Yeah, do it!

Naofumi, you can't!

If you use that...

My judgment upon this foolish sinner is to scream as a sacrifice to God!

By the jaws of a dragon born from my flesh and blood,

be sacrificed in suffering and agony!

Naofumi!

You used me.

You summoned me, Naofumi Iwatani.

You will become one with me!

"Wrath Shield IV"

How lame!

You got possessed by your own shield!

The people you hold dear?

Man, your mouth is corny is hell!

When you've got them bound to you by slave and monster seals!

You wouldn't turn your dear friends into your slaves!

That's not true! Naofumi-

Just 'cuz you raised them a bit doesn't make them a friend, shit-for-brains!

Naofumi! Get a hold-

So what about it?

Nao... fumi...

Raphtalia and Filo weren't much use at the start.

But now they are useful.

That's why I keep them with me.

What's wrong with that?

But what about you, you accursed loose woman?

I was as angry with you as I am with Kyo.

Why do I have to look after some bitch who wags her tail at the Bow Hero?

You unsightly whore!

I'll start by killing you!

You finally told me how you really feel.

I was always concerned...

How did you really feel about me?

I'm okay with what you said about me,

but Raphtalia and Filo wouldn't.

It's true that it was a strategic relationship at first,

but that was unavoidable.

There were obstacles that you had to overcome,

even if it meant making Raphtalia and Filo your slaves.

They understand that much.

They know that it isn't like that anymore.

They know that you see them as dear friends from the bottom of your heart.

That's why... Ost...

I don't know who or what you are,

but get out of Naofumi right now!

What the hell is wrong with you?!

You just ruined the greatest show ever!

Ah, whatever.

I'll kill you while you're halfway dead already.

And of course, you get to die first, retard!

Not again! Damn you!

You've been beaten this badly, but you're still relying on the Spirit Tortoise's power?

You are a weakling!

What the hell?!

What the hell are you?!

Naofumi! Get yourself together, Naofumi!

Damn you, bitch!

Naofumi!

What's wrong? Do not be fooled by that woman's words!

No. You're the one trying to fool me!

I am simply making suggestions.

That is your role as one of the Four Cardinal Heroes summoned to repel the Waves!

Role?

This power will undoubtedly be necessary to do it.

The power to burn everything into nothingness!

Burn... everything?

Yes. That is right.

I told you, Shield Hero.

You do not need this fire.

Ost?

Burn? Were you going to burn my dear friends along with them?

You can decide your own role.

Now, rise.

They're all waiting for you.

Raphtalia...

Filo...

Rishia!

Huh? What-

Damn you to hell!

I'll burn you all to ash!

Forbidden Book: Index!

Die!

I've got the advantage in an endurance match!

- Master Naofumi! - Master!

Thanks, Raphtalia, Filo!

Naofumi!

Rishia, you too!

Thanks to you three, I wasn't consumed by the Wrath Shield!

But I need to accept my rage and suffering and sorrow in order to move on.

The Mirror?!

It's just as Ost said.

I decide my own role!

Sorry, Kyo Esnina.

I came in acting like a hero and interfered in your plans.

What?!

You had your own idea of what was right.

That's why I'll do this, not for my role or what is right,

but for my own desire and my own sake.

I'll defeat you!

Okay! You can bask in your victory for now!

Retards like you always end up regretting it!

You'll see what I mean soon enough!

This is...

Ost...

Shield Hero and his followers...

Thank you for defeating Kyo.

Hey! Up here!

I see. So Kyo died?

We found the Mirror which was missing all this time too.

We'll be able to avoid war for now.

It's up to the King to make that reality, L'Arc.

It's in your court, Highness.

I told you not to call me that, Kiddo!

Naofumi, what are you going to do now?

Who knows?

I thought I could only go home by riding the Wave like you.

Except the Wave disappeared.

The next Wave is... in a little over a month.

Why not take it easy here until then?

Guess that's the only way.

Hey, nice idea!

Let's go back to the palace and have a party!

I'm in!

Hey, let's go fishing too!

I wanted to do it with you guys!

Naofumi?

"Complete - Spirit Tortoise recovered" Looks like we can go back to our world.

We have less than a minute.

What?!

Thank you for everything.

Um... Let's meet again soon?

See you!

Hold on! What about fishing?

And the party?

Don't ask for the impossible, Kizuna girly.

No way...

Well, this is expected.

Naofumi, you idiot!

I haven't even gotten to thank you properly!

Thank you...

Thank you, Naofumi!

I'll do my best as a Cardinal Hero in this world.

Yeah.

Can I go over and hang out sometimes?

I don't know if I can.

Yeah. As long as you don't come to kill us, you're welcome.

Stupid. I'd never do that-

See you again, Kizuna.

Oh...

Right to the end, that Naofumi...

This voice

Is for guiding you

These hands

Are for holding you

This time

Is for making sure you have a tomorrow

Believing in you

That's all we need to do

It's what lets us grow stronger

Than anyone else

You taught us that

Ever since that day

That unchanging light

Even if the time comes for us to part

We'll be sure to find you again

After returning to our original otherworld,

the Queen granted me a medal for defeating the Spirit Tortoise

and the peerage of viscount.

I discovered later that when a Wave broke on Kizuna's world,

a Wave broke on this one as well.

While we were gone, Motoyasu, Ren, and Itsuki were proactive in repelling it.

Maybe they just wanted to restore their names

after being useless against the Spirit Tortoise.

The Waves, other otherworlds...

The problems keep multiplying.

And the next guardian beast to awaken, the Phoenix...

Unprecedented obstacles lie in our path.

It's almost despairing.

But together with my friends, we will be able to defend this world.

I have a feeling we can.

As for why...

It's because I'm the Shield Hero.
