The Rising of the Shield Hero Episode 19 English Subbed

Melty recognizes Pope Balmus wields an ancient weapon which replicates all the Four Cardinal Weapons, supposedly lost long ago. Naofumi and Motoyasu are unable to breach the weapon’s defenses as it is powered by hundreds of Balmus’ loyalists. Just then, Ren and Itsuki appear to help, explaining they were rescued by Mirelia’s special forces, The Shadows. They also reveal an army, personally led by Mirelia, is coming to subdue the Church, who refuse to surrender. While The Heroes join forces against the Pope, Naofumi refuses given the harm they caused, detailing their consequences, lack of coordination, and how he had to rectify them. Naofumi explains they were ignorant of how to be heroes and properly clean up, leading the Church to see them as fakes and plan a coup d’état. The Pope takes advantage of their discussion to fire an attack, which Naofumi blocks. Naofumi equates the other Heroes to the Pope, but agrees to work with them only out of his promise to Fitoria. Now, the Four Cardinal Heroes stand together, but Pope Balmus responds by enclosing the battlefield inside a magical cathedral.
