The Rising of the Shield Hero - Vol. 26 Ch. 106 - Witch

I will rejoice the day someone cuts her tongue already.

One of the dumbest moments in the story. They already know she's a liar. She's been prosecuted and everything. But now the author is playing up that spectacle by showing that the characters have shit for brains.

Rem knew she was lying, he believed it anyway because in that way he didnt have to cope with his mistake as a leader since he couldnt accept the reality of his fight wit the spirit tortoise.

I mean, the 3 have never been shown as smart, rational thinkers to begin with. And it's justified. Ren and Itsuki are literal teenagers according to the wiki, and Motoyasu is in his early 20s, and clearly a bit cuckoo in his head - the guy literally got himself stabbed to death with his philandering. Anyway, most people are dumb at that age, and have little idea how to properly manage their emotions, or the perspective how to understand them. And that's exactly what we see with Ren; a young guy who never faced hardship, who is still a child, now suddenly faced with a serious amount of survivors guilt.

Of course he is looking for someone else to blame. Otherwise he has to hate and loath himself. Most people can't even stand light amounts of self-criticism, so this?

Myne tells him exactly what he wants to hear, what feels good, so he wants to trust her, despite what she did. Because the alternative is considering himself a bad person, in his own simplistic view. He doesn't know how to properly process shame or guilt, and Myne simply takes advantage of that weakness.

hit the nail right on the head

This is a dope chapter but it crazy how behind the manga is on the website when this is taken part of in the earlier part of season 3

Why is the discord advertisement page trying to dissuade people from joining?

Oh for the LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD

Acting compassion and understanding when one is at it's low, to exploit the person who desires acceptance while being in a state of depression, just to manipulate for personal gains...

I'm cheering for Ren, this will cost him a lot more than he lost already.




Also, people should already know why Bitch couldn't die after trial, yet arguing why isn't dead yet.

there has to be a reason for Bitch being so bitchy, right? Couldn't we have her executed right then when they were going to? thought she would have learned her lesson at least by now. Anyways thanks for the meal.

There is in the Web Novel. Which the manga has already deviated from in favor of the Light Novels instead

Spoiler: Web Novel Spoilers

TL;DR is that version of Bitch actually winds up being a small "fragment" of a goddess named Medea who is by all accounts even worse. And she LOVES causing chaos across planets by making her fragments that act in the same way bitch does spark shit and be general blights on society so they are easier to destroy so she can absorb the energy from said worlds partly for her own sick, twisted amusement, as she shares ALL of Bitch's traits, most importantly her narcissistic all-about-me mindset.

Of course the Light Novel is different in that she's just a bitch in general.
