The Rising of the Shield Hero Episode 1 English Dubbed

While in the library, college student Naofumi Iwatani finds a fantasy book about “Four Heroes”; The Spear, Sword, Bow, and Shield. Naofumi is summoned to another universe with three others to save mankind from The Waves, a series of demonic invasions. When partners are assigned, nobody joins Shield Hero Naofumi, believing him to be the weakest of the four. However, Myne, a member of the Spear Hero’s party, offers to join Naofumi to help him train. Soon afterward, Myne steals his belongings and accuses him of raping her. Naofumi’s denials are ignored by all, and he becomes an outcast, shown kindness only by Erhard the weapon-smith who realizes he is innocent. Embittered and enraged, Naofumi begins scrounging for materials and learns how to upgrade his shield with resources he finds in the world. After fighting away some thugs who wanted to rob him, he realizes he can’t upgrade without experience or strength. Approached by Slave Trader Beloukas, Naofumi is brought to a slave market so a slave may gain XP and fight for him. In the corner of the room, Naofumi finds a demi-human slave girl cowering in a cage.
