The protagonist of this work, "The Rising of the Shield Hero," is Soma, who aims to rebuild the kingdom of Elfrieden as the king. Along the way, there are famous scenes that depict friendship with allies and famous scenes where big decisions must be made. In addition, there are many funny and funny scenes. This time, I will introduce the most memorable scenes from among them, based on my personal opinion and bias!
Faces and lines you've seen somewhere before
First of all, it starts from the end of the first episode of the anime that has already been broadcast. Although it was not in the original work, a scene that seems to be a parody of Yu-Gi-Oh was added to the anime. When Rishia suggested that they should increase their military strength, Soma stood up and said, "I'll activate the proverb immediately in response to that proverb," reminiscent of a duel. Many people also said that it was "like Lelouch." By the way, in the original work, when he activates magic, he takes a pose similar to the JoJo pose.
A horse riding scene that made people say, "What are you touching?"
In the second episode of the anime, the two of them ride horses to the city, but since Soma can't ride horses, he straddles Rishia and the two of them ride the same horse. At that moment, he has nowhere to hold on to, so he grabs onto Rishia, but his hand goes to her waist... He gets told off, "Don't hold on so tightly," but the viewers also get angry, saying, "Where are you touching?" However, this part is slightly different from the original, and in the original, when he sways violently, he hugs her with all his might, and gets scolded, "Hey, don't touch my belly so hard!" Both may seem similar, but personally I would have preferred if they had faithfully reproduced the original... Which one did you prefer? (lol)
Elfrieden is polygamous! Up to eight wives are allowed from the legal wife! ?
This is the scene where Lissia, Soma's fiancée, makes a ridiculous statement. Lissia says about Soma's polygamy, "As a woman, I'm not interested, but I'm fine with it if Soma takes the throne." (It's surprising that Lissia had become fully prepared to get married without anyone realizing it.) She even makes a bombshell statement, saying, "I'll allow up to eight people, including me." In this world, there are eight days in a week, so it seems that she said eight people per person, one day. At this point, in addition to Lissia, Aisha and Juna were the only three people who came forward to be polygamous partners. The story progressed on its own, with things like "only once a week if there are eight of us" and "two days a week if there are two of us," and Rishia was thinking along the lines of "it'd be nice to have my day all to myself."
A scene where Soma hugs a depressed Aisha
Aisha was full of energy from the first time she appeared, but one day, news arrived that her hometown, "Shingo no Mori," had been hit by a large landslide. The damage was so severe that half of the village was engulfed in mud and sand, and it was a very dangerous situation with no idea how many people were missing. Even so, Aisha held back her tears and did not ask Soma for help. Even after Soma read the letter and decided to go to the rescue, Aisha was not at all energetic and spoke little, probably due to her worries and feelings of guilt. When Soma saw this and hugged Aisha, saying "Leave it to me," Aisha broke down and burst into tears.
Rescue a Dark Elf from a Landslide
After hearing about the large-scale landslide, Soma and his friends immediately rushed to the Forest of Divine Guard. Upon arriving, they immediately began rescue operations. While rescuing many Dark Elves who had been buried alive, Aisha's aunt and cousin have still not been found. The uncle becomes distraught and Soma tries to reason with him, but at that moment Soma uses magic to discover the two who have been buried alive. When they dig up the remains, they find Aisha's aunt and cousin. The aunt, who had collapsed as if shielding her daughter, had already died, but the daughter, who was being held in her arms, was successfully rescued. As Aisha's uncle holds his wife in his arms and sheds tears, Soma offers words of encouragement, saying, "Your wife protected your daughter to the end..."
Mixed opinions? Rishia's Determination
On the day Soma met the Three Dukes for the first time and gave them his ultimatum, Rishia, seeing Georg's determination, took an action to show her own determination. That was to cut her long, beautiful hair with a sword and make it short. The problem of the main heroine suddenly having short hair. There have been many heroines in the past who cut their hair on various occasions, such as Akane from Ranma 1/2 and Videl from Dragon Ball, but each time it caused controversy over which was better. Long hair is feminine and cute, while short hair gives a strong impression of masculinity and activity, and many people think that she looked better before she cut her hair... but which opinion will prevail in this work?
100% accuracy! A skilled archer!
Fortress battle near Randel. Halbert and his men were desperately enduring the army's fierce attack, but the situation suddenly became unfavorable when the enemy brought out a cannon. Kaede had already used up all her magical power in building the fortress, and said that even Halbert's javelin could not intercept the iron balls fired from the cannon. Then the dark elf Suhl appears. His bow and arrow imbued with wind magic is powerful enough to pulverize the iron ball into pieces, and he hits the iron ball with his bow 100% without missing a beat, saying that it's "easier than taking down a peregrine falcon." In fact, Suhl is the father of the girl whom Halbert rescued from a landslide, and he has come to the fortress to repay her kindness. Reinforcements from Suhl and the other dark elves, as well as from the Forbidden Army, arrive, and Halbert and his men succeed in overcoming this crisis.
Scene of declaring war on the Principality of Amidonia
After the battle with the air force and the army, Soma, who controls all the military, declares war on the Principality of Amidonia. In the scene where he declares war, we can see Soma, who is more strict than ever before as a king, as the fate of many people has been decided. At this point, the outcome is almost decided, and if reinforcements are sent to Altmura, it will be easy to drive away the Adminia Principality army. But Soma wasn't going to let that go, and declared that "Since you laid hands on my family, you will pay," and that he would launch an attack on Van, the capital of the Amidonia Principality, with his entire army. Incidentally, it was Elfrieden's plan to induce Gaius to lead the army and attack (to lay hands on my family), and he gave a terrifying speech, but as far as the Amidonia Principality army's movements were concerned, everything was proceeding according to Soma's plan.
The scene where Halbert cuts the enemy general in half
When he first appeared, Aisha grabbed his face and the three women did whatever they wanted with Halbert, but he played a major role in the battle against the Amidonia Principality Army. He played an active role in the battle at the fortress where the army was the opponent, but he was even more active in the hand-to-hand combat with the Amidonia Principality Army. He literally cut the enemy general's body and arm in half with one swing. He cut the enemy general in half and killed him while covered in blood, and the enemy army called him the "Red Demon" and feared him. Seeing Halbert's performance, the Imperial Guard's morale was further boosted and they launched an offensive. Although it was unclear how strong Halbert would be in actual combat, I think this scene left the impression that "Halbert is actually incredibly strong."
Gaius' Final Blow
Soon after the final battle began, Gaius was on the brink of defeat and even admitted defeat. However, he entrusted his "Viper's Blood" and "Desire for Vengeance" to his son Julius, and headed for the enemy general Soma with a small group of people to show the spirit of Amidonia. His final moments were brutal. He was so badly injured that he lost consciousness after being hit by a bomb from close range, but he managed to stand up, and even though he was hit by nearly 10 arrows and vomited a lot of blood, he still managed to throw his sword at Soma's feet, threatening him. It was creepy that he was laughing at the very end just before he collapsed, and it was also a cool scene despite being an enemy.

So far, we have introduced some of the famous scenes from How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom. What did you think? Many characters appear in the anime earlier than in the original work, and the content has changed slightly, so it is unclear whether famous scenes from the original work will be reproduced, but the anime may have some original scenes that are unique to the anime. I hope you will pay attention to these differences!
