    The Village Training

    I don't know if the studio can animate the village training from volume 10. For those who don't know, when Naofumi bought some slaves before going to Zeltoble, he trained them by feeding them, learning to fight, and rebuilding the village. While I hope the anime can adapt this part for the Phoenix fight, I think it'll be very controversial. Think about it: SH was controversial when it came out and one of the "criticisms" I saw is the stuff not only regarding the false accusation but the presentation of slavery (which was a big one). My point is that if they adapt the village training closely it'll get controversial again.

    This is just speculation.

    Japanese equivalent to I daresay

    I'm watching the English Dub and wondering what the Japanese equivalent to 'I daresay' is. It's funny that sometimes the characters react to it as if the shadow has sad something very intriguing. 😅 I'm assuming it isn't a literal translation.

    Why did Naofumi not go to Siltvelt?

    I know the Queen said it would possibly be either Heaven or Hell for him there, and that she was putting Trash and Bitch on trial. But I still feel like it would only make sense to go to Siltvelt. Considering there's still hate for the shield. Can someone enlighten me?

    How does the shield work?

    I am reading the light novel and got confused. The shields that naofumi unlocks have two states, sealed and unsealed, the sealed state grants the status and abilities when equipped, and the unsealed state grants that status even when not equipped. But how does naofumi unseal a shield? I've read that they can have many conditions like materials, level, etc. I've also read the light novel say something like hin changing from a shield that was being unsealed, so is that a usage requirement? I'm really curious on how that works.

    is earth in danger?

    Various worlds are clashing across the cosmos legendary weapons and worlds being destroyed and combining with seemingly people from earth being summoned as hero fodder to fight the waves on behalf of these worlds.

    is it ever explained the reason why earthlings seem to be chosen as these heroes or if earth is under the same systems as these other worlds. Does earth have cardinal weapons? is there a risk of waves on earth. can earthlings use magic so many questions

    why fight the waves

    I understand that the waves cause massive devastation, but isnt worlds merging good in the end. It seems like when worlds combine it looks like various positive effects happen

    -the races from the losing world are integrated into the winners world such as Beast men in Raphtalias world (does this mean new people are created or are the losers teleported over)

    -The world becomes more stable as more Cardinal weapons are added to it. in addition to vassal weapons

    -magic systems from the losing world are integrated into the winning world such as gem magic

    -it's implied that technology is also integrated from one world to another.

    is there actually a negative aspect to the worlds combining? just like a major natural disaster it seems there is the aspect of some pretty major devastation but unlike a natural disaster it seems that there is major improvement after the fact the world that is born from both worlds is overall in a MUCH better position.

    Kind of liked how they added this "anime original" scene because they barely or never interacted in the LN. Sets up a neat foreshadow later on

    Is season 2 not a good adaptation?

    I just finished season two and saw some people saying that it wasn't adapted as well as it could have been. I really liked it, but I felt some parts were a little rushed, i don't know.

    So, I want to know if any important plot were not adapted and if you guys recommend that I read the LN/WN before starting the third season.

    By the way, is the anime more inspired by the LN or WN? I think i will read one in the future but I don't know which one.

    What happens to vassal weapons when a world is assimilated

    Im going to start with what I think I understand

    Each world has vassal weapons and cardinal weapons, for each cardinal weapon there are two vassal weapons but there isnt exactly a standard number of cardinal weapons, most worlds seem to have four but this isnt a set number. The cardinal weapons act as kind of the anchor point for a world so when one world wins against the other not only does the winning side get a bunch of new features (bigger worldmass, new inhabitants, new magics ect) but they also get the losers core or cardinal weapons because of this there would be worlds with 1,2,3 or 4 cardinal weapons with the possibility of like 6,8,16 ect cardinal weapons in a world if that world keeps winning.

    now Cardinal weapons are bound to a world, from what I understand they act as a literal anchor for the world, they kind of keep it together while vassal weapons assumedly come from the same source but are not bound in the same way, they can travel worlds as they please and will still function the same no matter where they are.

    I assume that along with the survivors and magic and land, vassal weapons are also transferred when a world assimilates another, the question is what happens if the vassal weapons aren't on world when this happens.

    like imagine you have 3 worlds close enough to each other that travel is possible world A,B and C. world A and B are currently going through the waves and A is winning. if all the vassal heroes from world B flee to world C (which isnt part of the conflict) when world B is assimilated what happens? is there any established answer forthis. Do the weapons cease to function?, are they transported to world A anyway? im so curious

    It's funny when you look at all the Power ups Raphtalia has gotten throughout the series, she is perfectly designed to Kill Naofumi

    Her Anti-Hero Powers she gets in LN 14 is huge Counter towards Naofumi
