Okay you guys have missed the hints for so long that i just have to come out and say it spoilers: The demi human supremacist nation Siltvelt which worships the shield hero and the human supremacist nation of Melromark which worships the other three heroes have been at war on and off for hundreds of years. The king married into royalty as a result of his achievements in ones of those wars, a war he joined because demi human supremacists killed his parents and sold his blind younger sister into sex slavery. Add that trauma to being raised in a religion that preaches that demi humans are innately evil and the the shield hero they worship is a demon and it's not hard to see why he ended up this way. The queens goal in the international conference was to gain the rights to summon the shield hero, have him marry into the royal family and make a lasting peace between Siltvelt and Melromark. This was something the church of three heroes and the king could not accept as they believed that the shield hero and demi humans are evil and that it would undermine their political power. Thus the king and the church conspired to summon all four heroes and manipulate the sword, bow and spear into killing the shield. Malty played along hoping to use the church to kill her mother and sister to claim the throne for herself. You saw how that played out.

[@JohnKazuma]

The Family that the King talks about might not be his wife and children. It could also be like his own father mother grandparents and siblings. Why because his children are still young and it doesn't make sense if the previous hero is only days before new ones were summoned. remember fitoria forgets because its been a long time. Also, they dealt the first wave with only knights and common people before they decided to summon the legendary heroes. Not Summoning right away means the waves of the past have been long gone and heroes are no longer needed until the new first wave hit.

[@WorldsGreatestRingAnnouncer]

Now Naofumi is pissed that he has even more responsibilities as the only competent hero because he was found innocent

[@YaBoyRockLee]

😂😂

[@playergame6398]

Aqua : I am useless 🔥🔥 3 cardiolanal heroes : hold our weapons !!!

[@YaBoyRockLee]

😂😂😂

[@ImFrelled]

That's also what Fitoria, the Filoliol Queen, is upset with the heroes for. They aren't answering the call to help the other nations when the waves hit outside Melramark. She's having to fight the other waves alone. She can right now, as the waves haven't built up in power were she can't handle it but it won't be long before even her great power won't be enough to hold back the waves, without the heroes help.

[@ray_exe2811]

"naofumi bout to be the next king!!", I cried, directornasty always has the best comments, sorry lee XD

[@xmant8842]

10:09 he wasn't being a coward. His thoughts were "you have been lying to me. You deserve this."

[@YaBoyRockLee]

xman t he’s saying that yet won’t face her. He should look her in the eyes or her general direction. He than proceeds to defend her in the following episode though behind closed doors.

[@xmant8842]

@@YaBoyRockLee Alright. That makes sense. And I was going to put another comment but I was like "if they haven't seen next episode it is kind of a spoiler. The comment I was going to put was where you said you wanted the heroes to apologize and I was like "next episode: how about no.

[@YaBoyRockLee]

xman t ha. Thanks for considering not spoiling. We actually finished shield hero when slime started. You can low key tell that something as ended when another started. (The secret to multiple videos and not getting confused is finishing a series lol)

[@cyonejohnson21]

Yes! I've been waiting for this one

[@mrmeleemushroom]

Did you miss the part where the Queen said she was on a diplomatic mission on other countries? Not locked up.

[@YaBoyRockLee]

We did

[@Waavlu]

So while you are absolutely correct with the info given about why the other countries are mad, since Melomarc summoned all four heroes. It is also explained in the source that there is a draft pick order for summoning the heroes and Melomarc wasn't even in line to summon any of the heroes. So in essence, they pissed off at least 4 more powerful nations by basically cutting in line and buying out the product on Black Friday sales.

[@YaBoyRockLee]

Waavlu ohhhh so Melomarc wasn’t gonna have ANY heroes?

[@Waavlu]

@@YaBoyRockLee most likely. Other factors apply that could cause a country to pass which is why they were having the conference in the first place, but Melomarc didn't want to risk it I guess.

[@WorldsGreatestRingAnnouncer]

Also Trash is Myne’s and Melty’s dad. He had red hair back when the Queen fell for him apx 18 years prior. Believe it or not, Trash was an Uber Chad.

[@Mythriaz]

Spoilers

[@peposo7]

Nasty was right with the other 3 Heroes visiting other countries outside of Melromarc. They visited adventurer guilds to get quests/rewards. Naofumi was not allowed to leave Melromarc, and this episode clear away the why.

[@Kelsar1981]

Haha, the old Lady... yeah, she IS bad ass, we should see more from her in Season 2.

[@Kelsar1981]

And no, the last shield Heroe was there hundreds years ago. But it has to do with the country he founded.

[@YaBoyRockLee]

Old??! Lol

[@TheDarkListener34]

I told you, you would be satisfied. ^^ I was overly satisfied with the episode. I loved it! I'm glad you two love this episode!

[@superaaronglitchy597]

I told you that episode was so satisfying!

[@GrubbJunker]

I'm pretty sure the Queen had a knife in her hands and was about to ask Naofumi to take her life instead of theirs. And the latest Shield Hero can't be THAT recent, I mean... Fitoria was young when he took care of her, wasn't she? It's been enough time that she forgot pretty much everything about him.

[@shadowfiresword]

I don't know the answer myself but there are a few ways I could see your question being answered. 1. We already know that heroes can be repeatedly summoned to this world, as long of the rest of the set is dead. So Fitora's hero could have been summoned, then died along with the other heroes of his set at a later point, and then a new hero showed up that caused the rift between siltvelt and melomarc. 2. While it is presumed that is has been a long time since Fitora's hero eventually left her, we don't actually know that for a fact. Neither her nor Filo are human beings in the sense that we understand it (how long do they live, what is their natural life span, how long until they suffer the mental effects of aging, etc) So for all we know she could be running on a dog years time line where for her it feels like an age, but for normal humans maybe it's been 20 years. 3. We don't know how regularly the sets of waves occur, they could be a once in a thousand years sorta thing, or as often as once every decade or once a human generation. If the latter is the case there is plenty of room for more shield heros who weren't Fitora's shield to show up and stir up the local diplomatic pot.

[@GrubbJunker]

​@@shadowfiresword If any other shield hero appeared, she would have said something about them, or remembered them, or anything. The fact she didn't very much implies that the man that raised her was the latest one. She clearly doesn't have bad memory, so I can only surmise from that, that quite a large number of years have passed. Also, when they first meet her, Melty herself said a long time ago (the subtitles say centuries, but I'm pretty sure she says 'a long time ago'). Go back and look, she even says that Fitoria was raised "by a hero of the time". So it has indeed been a long ass time. EDIT: This is on episode 16.

[@Kelsar1981]

@@GrubbJunker Also she literally told Filo it would take multiple lifetimes to grow that big.

[@GrubbJunker]

@@Kelsar1981 I didn't mention that because I don't know exactly the lifespan of a filolial. She meant filolial lifetimes, and I have no clue as to how long that would be xD

[@kallistikaleid]

I could be wrong, but, pretty sure there have been many generations of Heroes summoned. Fitoria's Shield Hero is definitely not the one Aultcray had a grudge against.

[@tntarts6476]

10:37 😂😂😂😂😂😂 That reaction was epic !!!

[@TrackMaster844]

As satisfying as this is, I think this was handled better in the manga. In that, Naofumi demands the death penalty for Bitch and Trash, but the Queen says that’s too good for them, too quick a release when he could torment them further. Plus the king was a great adventurer back in the day and has allies in other countries who’d take up arms if he died. As such, he went with the changing of their names. Also, the queen forced the two to publicly bow before Naofumi and beg him to save the kingdom.

[@olivierdubreuil-gagnon2201]

Every single iteration of that scene is completely different from the anime. They all show that, no matter how pissed she is at them (even burning and shooting their photos with ice magic), she still loves them and doesn't want them dead.

[@nicolasperez8960]

Hey @YaBoyRockLee just so you know they kinda covered why Melty is the crowned princess and not Malty. It's because Malty is unstable and bad natured and the Queen is fully aware of this fact. That is why the Queen made Melty the crowned princess. Plus Malty doesn't show the King that side of her; she would always act all innocent with the King because Malty knows it is an easy way to manipulate the King. Lol while it was funny the reason the King has so much hate for the Shield Hero isn't Baby Daddy Drama LOL. But man that whole discussion was a laugh riot. lol

[@YaBoyRockLee]

😂😂😂

[@YaBoyRockLee]

Yea. We let the theory go 😭😭

[@chrisc1914]

That's also why he was so shocked when it came out that Malty tried to kill her own sister

[@jaredsteele7932]

the first shield hero summoned was 400yrs ago, and he raised Fitoria. the last shield hero summoned was a 100yrs ago.

[@kallistikaleid]

Eh, I am questioning my own memories, but, Aultcray hates a particular Shield Hero, and he is not +100 years old, right?

[@chill-potato]

FINALLY WE ARE HERE

[@SHSZ1989]

Myne/Bitch: (screams in pain) Me: Now that's comedy!

[@simpgod2170]

4:09, The age difference doesn't really matter in this anime, along as her parents approve of it Melty (a 10 year old) can marry any man she wants, that includes Nafuomi ( 20 year old) but Nafuom still thinks she is a kid and is not interested in her or women in general.... at least in the anime Also why do you guys think the queen cheated lol

[@Akaritomi]

Which is ironic considering everyone constantly pushing for Raphtalia who is 100% a child!

[@YaBoyRockLee]

I cant rock with the age difference law lol. But we thought she cheated because the king personally hated shield hero so much

[@simpgod2170]

@@YaBoyRockLee the queen has more class then Malty, she wouldn't betray her husband like that lol

[@SyckniS]

Haven’t seen this posted yet but don’t read too much in the Sword heroes overpowered comments. It’s the same voice actor as Kirito from SAO who is the OP of OP chars so when he calls Naofumi overpowered its more of a joke towards his other character and not really directed at Naofumi

[@EdersonLouis]

1st. The king is not talking about the shield hero broken is current family because you can still see that they are a family. 2nd. the King is not the kind of guy that would take care Melty knowing that she is the daughter or have a possible chance of being the kid of the guy he hit the most. Naofumi have nothing to do with him and he still hate him that much. 3rd. The Queen made it clear that was out on an International Forum for the next wave which mean she wasn't lock up in any sort that will also explain why guard was around her and she couldn't just leave. 4th. If she really go and ***** with shield hero while married and as a leader of the country that would be a bad example for Melty as we all can see they trying to make Melty take after her. 5th. If one of them weren't the daughter of both the king and the queen you guys would notice by how they look at them. the treatment wouldn't be like that for both. those are some point from the anime there are some more info but that might be able to get on later episode

[@praxhurjya]

[@DXDragon38]

The most looked forward episode of the season :)

[@trailblazerlazerrazerd9027]

Y'all do know that you can only summon before hero like every 100 years or something right? They can't do it all of the time. When the Waves are coming, like when the Dragon Hourglasses, start ticking down a clock, that's when they have a minute to summon the 4 Holy Weapon Heroes. So the Queen couldn't have had sex or an affair before she got married to Aultcray the King of Melromarc. And when he said that he was trying to protect his family from the Shield Hero, his temporary slave crest didn't activate and the Queen almost caught feelings because of how her husband felt was genuine. But she was already resolved to execute him and Malty for the stuff that they did, contributing to the downfall of their country. And she was kind of in self-imposed exile, working on diplomacy. Her job was to try to convince the other countries to not go to war with Melromarc because her country snatched up all four Heroes behind her back. And all the Lords that were supposed to work for the queen like the Lord of Raptalia's village, were executed or assassinated or banished. Her village of Demi-human's Lord was like the one from Reichnott's village, a human who was sympathetic to demi-humans and treated them fairly. But after he was gone, human soldiers from the kingdom after the 1st Wave hit, tore the village down, slaughtered some folks and sold most of the children and young people into slavery. That's how Raphtalia, her best friend and that one boi her other other friend ended up at that one guy's mansion where he tortured them everyday, largely because of the war that Melromarc fought against the countries of likely Shieldfreeden and Shiltvelt which are mostly Demi-human ruled (Shiltvelt actually has human slavery).

He didn't stop Raphtalia, when she fought guy with whip. And he didn't be mercyful with Myne and King by his own will - it was the queen who asked him for this. Animation crew literally destroyed main character.

[@Diabelle90]

This episode is the worst of the series. It depicts the utter injustice that is served up to the viewer as justice. For what the royal family of Naofumi has done. Proving his innocence in front of everyone is enough. But for the benefits the Royal Family enjoys, they are responsible. Also, the King and Princess of Malta S. (Myne) are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people by their actions and their only punishment is renaming.
