Episode 9 recap

The Rising of the Shield Hero season 3 episode 9 began with Gaelion breaking through Naofumi’s defenses, with him now unable to defend again. Atla then rushed at Gaelion and attacked him, which caused him to lash out and flood the cave with water from above. Thankfully, everyone was shown to be okay in the aftermath.

Naofumi said Filo was still alive, but her levels were going down fast, which means that Gaelion would have drained her levels by the next morning.

Wyndia then explained how the dragon Gaelion merged with was truly her father, with the beast being shown looking after her since she was an infant. This led her to remember its upside-down scale, which was seemingly a weak spot.

Wyndia told the Shield Hero about this and came up with a plan of attack. Naofumi then used the Wrath Shield to force the dragon up to the surface, beginning the group’s efforts to fight the beast.

Atla and Fohl executed their plan as Naofumi’s ace, landing a devastating blow on the dragon as a result. This freed Filo and Gaelion, now in his original infantile form.

Wyndia remembered times with her father as he died before her, saying she was glad to be his daughter. The episode ended by revealing that Wyndia’s father had reincarnated into Gaelion’s body.

What to expect (speculative)

With Gaelion rescued and Wyndia and Ren both having joined the party, The Rising of the Shield Hero season 3 episode 10 will likely return focus to finding the Bow Heri, Itsuki Kawasumi. This will probably also include finding the Staff Hero, which is still a main priority this season.

However, The Rising of the Shield Hero season 3 episode 10 is unlikely to merge these storylines. It is expected to focus on one for now and address the other later. While there aren’t many episodes left in the third season, there are enough to make such an approach viable.
