The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 3 Episode 1 recap

At the start of the episode, we see Naofumi and his allies struggling in the fight against the Tapaks. After some time, our shield hero realizes that the other heroes have one missing, and if they are not found soon, the beast won’t be defeated easily. While he was dealing with this dire situation, he got a piece of news that the land would start worshipping all of the four heroes from now on.

Later, when Naofomi goes to purchase the slaves from Lurolana Village, he is told that they have already been sold out for a high price to some other village. So, he decides to set them free.

However, things were not as easy as they appeared; every slave was taken to an underground arena in Zeltoble to fight. Naofumi and his friends decide to fight the underground battle for the sake of the enslaved people’s freedom.
