A brief recap of season 3 episode 5

Season 3’s fifth episode began with Filo, Naofumi, and Raphtalia abandoning their carriage due to Motoyasu staking it out. The three were then attacked while traveling when S’yne showed up to help them. She then revealed that the attackers were people from her now-destroyed world, also revealing her to have once been a Vassal Weapon Hero. She claimed that those men worked with the ones who ended up destroying her own world.

S’yne also revealed that she put a tracker on Naofumi to watch him, which is how she knew he was in trouble and needed help. She claims she first put it on him back in the colosseum, saying she doesn’t want to see any more Heroes die. Now back in Lurolona villlage, Naofumi then decided to take anyone who was level 40 or higher to obtain class upgrades.

He advises them to choose carefully and select paths they’ll want to pursue in the future. After acquiring more upgrades and purchasing additional weapons, Naofumi takes his party and several others out hunting. Eclair warns Naofumi about the Three Heroes Church, suspecting they had something to do with the slavers that attacked Lurolona village. He decides they’ll look for their hideout while they hunt, splitting up and finding Motoyasu and Rem after as the episode ends.

What to expect (speculative)

With Motoyasu and Rem having reunited with Naofumi once again, The Rising of the Shield Hero season 3 episode 6 should begin with Naofumi officially joining forces with them. After all, if he’s unable to get rid of them, he might as well officially team with them to make some use of their constant appearances.

The Rising of the Shield Hero season 3 episode 6 should also see Naofumi select some Lurolona village residents to join his party and begin fighting alongside him. This is further supported by the fact that he has them, especially Fohl, select class upgrades. While they may not see combat for a few more episodes yet, new members should be joining Naofumi’s fighting force soon.
