However, itвЂ™s not long before Naofumi realises something isnвЂ™t right with the kingdomвЂ™s treatment of the Shield Hero. As the four legendary heroes, they must protect the world from вЂwaves of destructionвЂ™ that descend upon the land. Motoyasu is the Spear Hero, Ren the Sword Hero and Itsuki the Bow Hero, while our protagonist ends up as the Shield Hero. The four are informed that they have been summoned to the Kingdom of Melromarc to wield the four legendary weapons: Spear, Sword, Bow and Shield. While flipping through the novelвЂ™s pages, Naofumi is suddenly sucked inside and reawakens in a fantasy world alongside three others: Motoyasu Kitamura, Ren Amaki, and Itsuki Kawasumi. The story follows 20-year-old Naofumi Iwatani who lives a carefree life as a college student, that is until the day he reads a mysterious book at his local library. A year later Manga Entertainment is now bringing the first half of Season 1 to home video, which IвЂ™m here to take a look at today. When The Rising of the Shield Hero began airing in January 2019, many anime fans were talking about it either because of its controversial plot elements or its gripping story.
