Just have to get off my chest just how insufferable the heroes are. Trying to finish season 3 and Rishia and Bow here are so annoying. Tis all.
I'm on two epsiodes left on the first season as I'm rewatching the entire isekai anime series on Netflix makes me wonder when will they release the next two seasons of it in the US? 🤔
Motoyasu once put his spear (not that spear) in a hole in the Filolial Sanctuary that unlocked the Minute Hand of the Dragon's Era - a spear that allowed him to loop back in time. IIRC in the same LN volume that Moto got that spear form Naofumi (and maybe Ren and Itsuki, too) tried to unlock that weapon series but failed.
Now, what if they succeeded and it turned out that every weapon had access to the Dragon's Era series, and they all represent a different part of a clock?
Based on the form of the Spear I think it's reasonable that the 4 Legendary weapons would represent a part that tells time, i.e. the second hand, the minute hand, the hour hand and the clock face. Vassal weapons meanwhile are more obscure parts that don't show themselves but are vital for the clock to function.
Here's what I think some weapons represent (based on the shape and parts of a grandfather clock):
Shield: the clock face
Sword: the hour hand
Spear: the minute hand
Bow: the second hand (if the second hand is very stylized)
Projectile: the gears (sharpen a gear's teeth and you have yourself a shuriken, actually you can always throw the gear like a rock)
Carriage: the casing
Whip: the string that holds the weight that powers the whole clock
Staff: the gear shaft
Hammer: the hammer that strikes the bell
We still have the gauntlet, the axe, and the claw left, but I have no idea what part those three can represent.
Tell me what you think each weapon represents.
Burned off practically all the skin, in constant agony and pain, cut off arms and legs leaving them as useless stubs, unable to speak and barely hear, being entirely dependent on someone else to help her with something as basic as chewing food?
Does the shield discriminates against pregnancy? Asking because I'm wondering how would it go for a vassal or legendary heroine to go through it... Like would the weapon abort the baby? Or would it accelerate the process so their wielder doesn't spent 9 months carrying a baby, since it would hinder their ability to fight?
This is one of those questions that fell nonsensical but is just curiosity, since I don't think we ever heard of a single female legendary hero from Raphtalia's world to my knowledge, which spiralled into me wondering if the legendary weapons in her world only choose man for some reason and the only thing I could think of for why it wouldn't choose one is this.
So in the case a heroine carrying the likes of the shield, would the weapon affect the process in a bad or positive way? Would the bonuses do something or would the weapon spirit aid in some way to the heroine carrying the baby? Would the child's development play out like Filo's or something closer to a human? Has the author ever stated on something like this, because the only way for a hero descendant to be made that I know of from the likes of the anime and manga is if a hero impregnates a woman. I think I'm overthinking the whole thing but unfortunately hyper fixating on something so trivial is the type of thing I can't stop thinking until I write about it.
LN novel readers and lore enthusiasts, please enlightened me on if this has any grounds or if my mind has been consumed by brain rot.
Does it bug anyone else that the other three heroes, as well as most of the main and minor characters, have yet to apologize or make any amends for believing in Bitch over him, treating him like scum for a crime he was innocent for? I mean not one of the people who took her side while he swore his innocence offered a single sincere apology. The other three heroes basically act like it never happened: “Hey where are you going? The party’s just getting started.” - is their conversation after he clears his name. It’s like they’re saying: ‘hey, since you didn’t actually do that you can come to the party now’. No remorse, it’s disgusting. If fact they still treat him like shit for quite awhile. They even have the audacity to believe Bitch over him again. ALL 3 OF THEM! She got caught lying about a rape attempt and trying to assassinate her younger sister and they still took her side again. Like Jesus Christ, how hard is it to say, “Sorry we didn’t believe you when you were accused of rape because a princess said you did with zero evidence to back it up and let her ruin your life, reputation, and livelihood.”
Silly post idea
What if the weapons made it so the heroes wielding them had the "ideal" body types to use them? So Itsuki is still the same body perhaps with some lean musculature, Motoyasu and Ren look like Captain America or any gym dude. And Naofumi is just a huge Goliath of pure muscle that has a just as equally massive shield (still can cause no damage)
Thoughts?

Is it to much to ask for a crossover fic that isn’t just shiro plows through everything. I just want a fic where it’s one of the 4 weapon users get summoned as hero’s for the holy grail war.
Instead all I get is “oops, all shiros”.
Don’t even have to give them everything when summoned, I always thought it would be cool if they were summoned and were able to get stronger. They could absorb items they find or take from other servants. Just imagine if blue bread gets put on the back foot first encounter because the holy weapon hero would get stronger from each kill of his summons, be from exp or absorbing the remains.
Please if someone with good writing skills see this then please at least think about this fic.
This scene from "Juken Sentai Gekiranger" makes me think of Naofumi reunite with the killed Raphtalia in The Afterlife.
So I normally read my light novels on the kindle app cause it is really convenient for me. I really love this series so I decided to pick up where season 3 ended and read the light novels, but I can’t seem to buy any volume past 11 on Amazon uk. I just wanted to know if anyone has had this issue aswell and if there is a work around
I know we will never explore other worlds outside of the main one and the likes of Glass's world, but as a Sci-fi nerd I must ask... What does the solar system looks like?
Is it just the sun, the moon and Raphtalia's world? Does the status magic only apply to the current planet your in and changes depending on if you enter a new one? Is there moon usapil or other monsters from space? We know meteorites exist so they need to be coming from somewhere outside the planet
Dumb question, but I like to make those
We all like Naofumi, some more than others love him and Naofumi did what was the first thing that came to mind.
So let's make this very hypothetical, what would you do in Naofumi's place? You are the hero of the shield and you have all the knowledge regarding the work of Tate no Yuusha, what moves would you make being in Naofumi's place?
For example, I would absorb rusty things to have a shield that generated tetanus. Maybe I would ask Erhard for a shield with a long, sharp tip so I could fight monsters and hurt them, and most likely I would ask the shadows for help to free Eclair. from his cell and if I have a chance to make Eclair fall in love
So what would you do? Would you do more ingenious things? would you form a harem? Would you make the heroes suffer even more? tell me
In LN Naafumi asked Eclair if she would date Ren if he asked her out rn. She said no, cuz she is not in mindset to date anyone, even Ren-dano.
To which Ren was sad. And Naafumi comforted him that maybe on the euphoria of saving the world he would propose to her and she would say yes maybe.
I was wondering which one is better fit for Ren. Don’t really like the harem route of two at the same time.
I guess eclair is the most obvious answer, cuz she helped him or whatever to recover from curse. But i don’t remember anything special with Windiya. Like she was raised by dragons and now Ren has overwhelming sense of guilt and now ask her everytime permission when he kills dragons.
Can yall remind me what special happened? Like he saved her sum. Cuz from the character of Eclair as a whole I don’t think she is a good fit. She is a terrible ruler of house of her father. More bend toward sword practice and i imagined her rigid like soldier most of the time
with his observation haki (note he was able to see violet and puddings true hearts) he would see through malty quickly (he just wouldnt hit her)
or he would be the shield hero since sanji is always about protecting people ( being quite self sacrificial ) and has shown time and time again to have the ability to inspire people to protect and draw in allies
I liked to show and i don't have anything to watch so i searched the internet for season 3 on netflix and found nothing
