What it concludes

The Rising of the Shield Hero uses a controversial and effective dramatic hook by having the protagonist falsely accused and ostracized.
Despite flaws and questionable plot points, the anime is far better than its reputation suggests, especially regarding character dynamics.
Naofumi's focus on supporting and protecting his companions sets him apart from typical power-fantasy protagonists.
The handling of the main antagonist, Malty, makes her one of the most memorable and hated villains in anime history.
The world-building and character progression make it a standout title within the Isekai genre despite pacing issues.
