The Rising of the Shield Hero

The Rising of the Shield Hero watch order begins with the 25-episode first season, watched straight through from episode 1 to episode 25. Naofumi Iwatani is summoned to another world as the Shield Hero, branded a villain through betrayal, and this opening run follows his hardened climb back with the demi-human Raphtalia at his side. As listed here, this season is the entry point — there's no OVA or movie to slot in, so the correct order for this stretch is simply the episodes in numerical sequence. If you're wondering where to start with The Rising of the Shield Hero, this first season is it: the foundation everything else builds on. When later seasons are added to the site, they'll appear here in their proper viewing position so the overall watch order stays accurate and complete for the whole isekai saga.
