Like most isekai. This too has a ton of incoherent plot points. With deathless characters. Unnecessary mysteries that don’t move the plot at all. Then mysteries that are kept mysteries for so long they don’t even matter anymore. And so on. Though, I must say. It did have some… merit. Its merit doesn’t lie in its world-building, side characters nor action scenes. It’s in how our main character handles pain. It simply intrigues me how stupid the plot gets sometimes but how good the shield hero’s rage is embodied in the show. Especially the shots where we get to see the inner monologue and internal conflict of our shield hero. The show simply aces in showing what’s going on inside that head of his. It simply does a very good job at displaying internal conflicts in a non-cringy way.
