Episode 6 recap
Season 3’s sixth episode began by showing Ren before he came to Raphtalia’s world, revealing him to be known for his video game prowess. However, just like in Raphtalia’s world, his overconfidence led him to have his entire party killed by the game’s Spirit Tortoise. In the present, Ren convinces himself that teaming with Malty will end his streak of bad luck, but he awakens to find her having robbed him and left a note calling him useless behind.
Ren is then attacked by a group of hooded men, fleeing and hiding in a random house, which he’s kicked out of due to not fighting against the Spirit Tortoise. He flees once more, finding a party in the nearby forest and attacking them in a blind rage. He steals one of their masks, eventually finding Motoyasu and fighting him. Naofumi then walks up as seen in the previous episode, realizing that Ren is using a Curse series weapon.
Ren attempts to kill Naofumi, but the latter’s party appears on time. Éclair requests to fight Ren, eventually defeating him after his greed grows stronger. The hooded men from earlier then reappear, whom Naofumi recognizes as the men from S’yne’s world. Motoyasu kills them both easily despite Naofumi’s fears of the group being too tired to fight. The episode ends with Éclair offering to train Ren, which he agrees to.
What to expect (speculative)
With both Ren and Motoyasu now seemingly aligned with Naofumi’s group, The Rising of the Shield Hero season 3 episode 7 will probably reveal the Bow Hero Itsuki Kawasumi’s location. A focus on Itsuki and what he and his party are up to is likely to first preface Naofumi and co-finding them, with a similar approach being taken to Motoyasu and Ren’s reintroductions.
The Rising of the Shield Hero season 3 episode 7 will also likely see Itsuki be staunchly opposed to joining Naofumi, even more so than Ren and Motoyasu were. This will most likely be due to his relationship with Rishia Ivyred, who has proven herself a valuable team member since leaving Itsuki and joining Naofumi.
