Shield hero volume 16 discussion thread

And so, the latest translated volume of this otherworldly revenge fantasy isekai thread arrives.
Covering the WN parts between the aftermath of the Phoenix battle and a bit past takt's fight there's a lot to be expected from this volume. Not only that, there's been a few changes regarding new characters introduced in the LN and a few changes to events in the arcs covered by this volume. And also, the next ones will be a complete departure from everything we've know from this point forward, returning to Glass's world once again.
So, what'd you like from this volume? what did you not like? What are you hoping for the next volume? Come in and join and talk it out!

Instead of meeting what's the cross of a pig and jabba the hutt, our heroes find this Axl Low-looking motherfucker.

In naofumi's moment of weakness, firo was about to enter the bed with him but melty figures out what was about to happen if she did and stops her. Naofumi also asks if she wanted to enter too but melty quickly absconds with firo.

Firo becomes an idol in that post-phoenix battle festival, to great effect. Everyone else thinks she was cursed to become a filorial and her fans are rooting for her so she one day breaks said curse.

Best girl.

Raph-chan and Raph-chan II manage to dispel the sanctuary spells that prevented everyone from using their portal skills which firo and even motoyasu failed to rbeak. Raphtalia stays behind to ensure everyone else portals out safely before takt and his harem can get to them.

Naofumi reunites with Ost and Atla in the realm where the spirits of the weapons reside, he's informed of the situation, the options and the choices he has to make.

Takt's harem dropping like flies and he's increasingly becoming ever more powerless to stop naofumi and the others.

Yeah, if you remember from the WN that after takt glass gave up on protecting her world since it went to shit as almost every other hero got killed, besides her and another holy hero. In the LN that's just about happening so naofumi and the others can go and help. Naofumi also has an incentive to go to glass's world considering raphtalia got whisked away there by the vassal katana while she was in captivity.

Wow look at all that desperate shieldcuck spam. No one wants to read your garbage.

I want to read it. Would rather watch it though, to be honest.

Thank you for letting our hero Naofumi live rent-free in your head when everyone else was against him.

I'm starting to feel an urge to learn Japanese just to be able to read the raws. So many good works like Time Stop Brave, but they all have a huge pile of untranslated raws behind.

>Desperate
It's just a simple dump thread.

Dont be rude, the boy planned it for days.

Remider that Fantasy books are generally better than isekai light novel

Nah

It's literally Axl Low.

How much rent Naofumi-san pays to live inside your head?
a. 0
b. Nothing
c. log(senC² + cosC²)
d. i²+i⁴

No, Narnia pissed me off more than the average isekai thing.

Takt's weapon was the seven start whip(+other stolen weapons) though.

So tell me, is Naofumi STILL traumatized by the accusation and "exile" in the first chapter? Last I checked he still was in the turtle arc.

So do they completely omit the tact and co. torture scenes from the LN?

He's DTF now. But now they got another world to save so that's for later.

>Axl Low
You mean Axl Rose?

Oh no, those are still in. It's just that bitch is not included as they couldn't find her so she's still at large. Also instead of the soul eaters from glass's world, they use the native soul-eating monsters of raphtalia's world, the soul vaccumers.

Is this the isekai thread?

Lmao

That just sounds like another poor excuse. He's not working every minute of the day.

Whenever you /lit/ fags come in, you always, always bring up old series. Sure, /lit/ was actually good at one point, but now it’s been pozzed like hollywood.

Look, unless if a manga/LN series is explicitly a romance series, you’re not gonna any romance until the very end.

Is volume 17 out yet? Im very curious about Syne's big sister. Oh and the Takt fight made me cringe.

Countdown day 01: Shieldy Boi
Tomorrow's the release of the LN artbook.

July i think. Fight was almost the same like in the WN, more or less.

That seems an even better time for it. Without the plot dependent on any romance progress there's less of a need to make sure nothing changes until the series is ending.

At least naofumi and raphtalia FINALLY become a couple later on. Even crack a joke or two about how rapthalia's name would end up once they get married.

It's either this or the gook thread

Solo leveling posters are not gookbros.

I can't believe Morlock is fucking dead!

What would the name change be?

She'd be Raphtalia "Heavenly Empress" iwatani. Considering she's now the ruler of q'ten lo.

those other threads were merely illusions

Four threads of what?

Based

The only other thread is the one with seiya

>What would the name change be?
In Japan? Raphtalia Iwatani. Japan has some backwards rules regarding surnames, unless the woman changes her surname.
In her own world I'm not sure. Does Q'ten Lo work the same way as Melromarc, where the ruling dynasty names the country? And how are the local rules regarding married names? I wouldn't be surprised if Raphtalia stayed Raphtalia Q'ten Lo, while Naofumi changed his name to something like Naofumi Iwatami Q'ten Lo. (I mean... her family is far, FAR more prestigious than his)

that one would be sweeped up later
there can only be one isekai thread

Pretty much every country has the same name change rules for marriage.

>backwards rules
Are you from a cuckish Nordic country or something? Cause the woman pretty much always takes her husband’s surname in virtually every country. It’s not exclusive to Japan, or even Asian countries in general.
