The Waves of Calamity were slowly introduced throughout season one, with its end seeing them make landfall on the world. The Waves occur when two worlds collide with one another, as this is where the conflict can end with one growing stronger and the other getting destroyed.

What is The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2 About?

It has not been confirmed, but The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2 will likely cover the Spirit Tortoise arc, which comes next in the original light novels. The Guardian Beast featured prominently in the background of the early visuals.

Based on the light novel series of the same name, The Rising of the Shield Hero takes place in Melromarc, where four people from parallel Earths are summoned to the fantasy world of Melromarc. Here, they are each given one legendary weapon and are asked to defend the land against waves of monsters.

Otaku Naofumi Iwatani is transported into the world, where he is given the title of Shield Hero. As the only defensive weapon of the four, he doesn’t receive the popular support of the others - the Sword, Spear and Bow. His luck then goes from bad to worse when he’s betrayed by princess Malty Melromarc and made an outcast.

Hitting rock bottom, he sets out to right the wrongs against him and fulfil his mission, enlisting the help of a demi-human slave called Raphtalia and a bird-like creature called Filo.
