The protagonist of this work, "The Rising of the Shield Hero," is Soma, who was summoned as a hero and was entrusted with the role of king due to his skills. As the king of a country, Soma has to make many big decisions, including some ruthless ones... Each time, he utters many famous lines to inspire those around him. In addition, the vassals also have many famous lines in response to those decisions. Here, we will introduce some particularly memorable lines.
"Protect your family no matter what" - the last words his grandfather left to Kazuya.
Shortly before Soma Kazuya became Soma Kazuya. A famous quote left by his grandfather before he came to the other world. "Make a family. And protect them no matter what." "If you do that, you will surely think in the end that you have lived a good life." These two pieces of advice, which could be interpreted as a will, were never forgotten even in his life in the other world that followed. Even when he declared war on the Principality of Adminia, which turned into a major war, he said, "Since you have laid hands on my family, you will pay for it." The only problem is that the other world is polygamous and Aisha allows Soma to have up to eight wives... How big will Soma's family end up being? (laughs)
"If you have talent, use it!" Famous quote from when he first appeared before the people after becoming king
The first problem Soma faced after becoming king was the lack of talented subordinates. The previous king was a good person and was kind to everyone, so the corrupt nobles could do whatever they wanted. Soma, who was not happy with this situation, decided to abandon the nobles other than the prime minister and look for talented people among the people. Soma appeared before the people when he began using the Imperial Rescript on Voting and his famous line at the time was, "If you have talent, use it!" All discrimination, such as family background or race, was eliminated, and as long as a person had even one talent that overwhelmed others, it didn't matter what kind of talent it was. After hearing Soma's speech and hearing that they could even receive a cash prize, the people were excited and took part in the audition, and five people with exceptional abilities were selected from the audition to work as Soma's aides.
"Even something trivial can be a great talent if you master it," Soma encourages Ishizuka.
Five people were selected from the talented people who gathered from all over the country. Among them, Poncho stood out as unique. There was a dark elf who boasted military power, a human who was said to have unparalleled knowledge and memory, a beastman who could talk to animals and monsters, and a beautiful woman with an outstanding singing voice and good looks. Poncho's special skill, which stands out among them, was "eating." Poncho flew around the world after spending all his money, and ate almost everything he could eat. Soma warmly welcomes this glutton, saying, "I've been waiting for someone like you." Until now, Poncho had been ridiculed by those around him, and even thought of himself as nothing more than a glutton, but Soma encourages him, saying, "Even the most pointless thing can be a fine talent if you master it. Be proud of it," and even utters the famous line, "Your gluttony and unsparing spending will save this country." Not only that, but he even sends him a special gift, Ishizuka, and this event would later be passed down as "a Cinderella story of a man who turned his life around in one fell swoop."
"If you're going to do it, do it in one hit" - Soma and Hakuya's first big decision
A famous quote from when he was talking to Hakuya about the situation in neighboring countries. After hearing a certain scenario from Hakuya, Soma uses the words of Italian political thinker Machiavelli, saying, "If a lord can end everything with one 'this' and never repeat it again, he has the qualities of a great ruler," and "On the other hand, if he cannot decide with one 'this' and keeps repeating it, he will sooner or later be ruined as a tyrant." Even Hakuya, who is from another world, said this was a "frighteningly realistic idea." Still, Soma decides that Hakuya's plan is Machiavelli's "this," and begins a certain strategy, leaving behind the famous line, "If you're going to do it, do it with one blow."
"Do I look like your fiance?" A famous line from Rishia, who had already become interested in him without even realizing it.
The three disguised themselves in uniforms and glasses to inspect the castle town. It's only natural that it suits Soma given his age, but... As he lies down on the grass in Central Park, Rishia asks if he wants to rest his head on her lap. Soma managed to get his head on her lap... or rather, it was Rishia, who was resting her head on his lap, who looked happier, as she muttered, "Does this make me look like my fiance?" It's an enviable line that will have many Rishia fans slamming their desks, but Rishia continues, "Don't you want me to be your fiance?" Even after this, Soma, who has little experience in love, was constantly being played with by Rishia, and he was constantly on the defensive, blushing (lol)
"It's good to be young" Famous quote from Excel, who is over 500 years old
Seeing the dishonest nobles in the Carmine Duchy drinking in the middle of the day at a bar while complaining about how they were treated, Excel sighs and laments, "The nobles who had proud aspirations at the time of the country's founding..." Having lived for over 500 years and seen the nobles fall into disuse, he also muttered, "It's hard to be a long-lived race." However, after seeing a letter from his subordinate Canary (Juna) who wanted to be by Soma's side, he said with a happy expression, "It's good to be young," and then he said, "If you live a long life, you may encounter new light that you never expected," correcting his statement that "Long-lived races are hard."
"Stepping over the big tree of warriors" - Soma and Georg's famous quote
On the day that Soma and the Three Dukes met for the first time and made their final pronouncements, Soma and Georg exchanged famous quotes. Georg describes what he is doing this time as "pride as a warrior," and continues, "If you wish to live, you die. If you wish not to die, you live. That is what it means to be a warrior." Soma responds, "I will step over that great warrior tree," and, "I am prepared! I have been prepared for a long time." Furthermore, Rishia tells Georg, "I understand your warrior resolve," and cuts her hair short to show her own resolve.
"If you're alive, you win" - Yuno's words that cheered up Soma
Because of the war against the Three Dukes and the Principality of Amidonia, Soma was trying to evacuate the people of the southwestern part of the country so that they wouldn't get caught up in the war, using a rather violent method proposed by Hakuya. The method was to create a monster called the Flame Clown and threaten them, and then burn down the deserted village after evacuating the villagers. (To scare the villagers and evacuate them quickly.) However, even though it was to help, Soma was depressed because he was worried about having burned down the village himself. He also seemed depressed when he saved Yuno as Musashi Boy. Yuno, seeing him in such a depressed state, prefaces him by saying, "Sometimes life doesn't go well," and encourages him with the famous line, "As long as you're alive, you win." Hearing this, Soma begins to think, "You can't apologize if you're not alive," and Yuno's words help him recover.
"The King's Job" Soma's Determination as King
A famous line said by Soma during the battle with the Amidonia Principality Army. Watching the battle from the rear, he wonders if he can take more proactive action and surround the tenacious enemy, and Carla tells him, "If you think so, why don't you give the order?", but he says it's better to leave it to the judgment of those on the ground and tries not to interfere in the battle. Soma never takes the lead in battle, so he says that the only job a king can do is "If the time comes, I guess I'll offer up my head and beg for the lives of my soldiers." This one line is a famous quote that makes him realize that he truly had become king.
"I will never forget your awesomeness for the rest of my life" - the greatest compliment to an enemy who showed his courage
Affection is a famous quote that Soma said to King Gaius of Amidonia as he died. Gaius fought with his courage to the very end, and his sword reached Soma's feet. In response to such a strong enemy, Soma said, "King Soma of Elfrieden will never forget your awesomeness for the rest of my life!" Gaius gave a faint smile and died on the spot.
