Shy season 2 episode 1 recap

Expand Tweet

Shy season 2 episode 1 began with a brief overview of the five heroes from season 1 and their daily lives following the battles with Amarariruku. The American hero Century, a Marine named Adam Rockwell, was also introduced. All were then seen needing to Heart Shift so that they could perform their duty as heroes, with Century seemingly able to control an object’s gravity with his powers. Each of the five was also successful in fulfilling their heroic roles without causing any injuries.

Teru’s deeds specifically were seen by a character who seemed to take a particular interest in her heroic deeds and form as Shy. Teru, as Shy, was then seen being interviewed by the character, reporter Tojiko Asuka. It was revealed that Tojiko was a reporter who was at risk of losing her job and needed to come up with an idea for a topic. After seeing Shy’s heroic deeds at the park, she decided to send in a request to interview Shy, which Shrimpy accepted on her behalf.

However, Tojiko became upset at how walled Teru was, even as Shy, until they found common ground on sweets. This led to Teru asking why she wanted to be a reporter, which gave way to Teru’s nurturing personality as Shy shone through. After the interview, Tojiko was clearly motivated again and published the piece. The episode ended with a focus on Unilord, which then transitioned into the setup of Stigma and co’s next moves as well as a new character.

What to expect from Shy season 2 episode 2 (speculative)

Following the slice-of-life reintroduction to the series that was episode 1, Shy season 2 episode 2 should see the series actually begin highlighting the threats and plot of the second season. One noteworthy possibility is the introduction of Teru’s supposedly dead sister as this new character from episode 1, considering the first season ending on her mention. The picture of the siblings, which served as the elder’s first appearance, is also present in the season 2 opening.

Episode 2 should also begin introducing other heroes from various countries around the world, or at least keep focusing on Century as Stigma’s forces seemingly continue to grow. In either scenario, the introduction of new heroes is likely to be a recurring plot point given Stigma’s apparent movements in between seasons.
