As they put their heads together to get to the land the hunting hero has summoned, their search for the tools that can warp space-time and shorten their journey ends up in a world of trouble. Here’s everything you need to know about the ending of ‘The Rising of the Shield Hero’ Season 2 Episode 8. SPOILERS AHEAD!
The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2 Episode 8 Recap
After escaping the infinite labyrinth, Naofumi and his friends find themselves in the world where Kizuna was originally called. The hunting hero explains to the shield hero and his party that they are in the enemy nation. Her fellow Cardinal heroes were called in to rescue Sikul, which is about a week away if they travel on foot. In addition, they will have to pass several checkpoints along the way, which can complicate the situation even more.
Therefore, Kizuna advises them that they should instead go to the capital Mikakage and use the dragon hourglass there to warp to Sikul. It will help them save a lot of time and also avoid the hassle of going through checkpoints where Kizuna could probably get caught. Therefore, they travel on foot and manage to reach Mikakage in two to three days. Naofumi is surprised that the city’s traditional dress and currency are very similar to Japan.
Shortly after their arrival, they come across a public poster that tries to make people aware that the neighboring countries are developing monsters. Furthermore, they are also working on teleportation and other technologies that will artificially give ordinary people the powers of a cardinal hero. Although Naofumi and his friends are surprised by the new information, they are happy that at least the government knows nothing about Kizuna and their escape from the infinite labyrinth.
In the days that follow, they earn money for weapons and important tools for their mission and prepare for their mission to obtain the dragon hourglass so that they can finally travel to Sikul. One day, however, they learn that a genius magician from another land has found a way to use the Return Dragon Vein. That information is crucial to the shield hero, and his allies decide to get hold of the dragon hourglass as quickly as possible.
The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2 Episode 8 Ending: Can Naofumi and his friends find the Dragon Hourglass and travel to Sikul?
Once the urgency of finding the dragon hourglass dawns on them, Naofumi and his friends decide to infiltrate the building where it is supposedly kept. Although security is very tight there, Raphtalia points out that they can use the adverse weather conditions that night to their advantage. Hoping that there won’t be so many soldiers guarding the dragon hourglass, they start their quest with the help of the hunting hero.
To their surprise, the shield hero and his company encounter no enemies, which arouses suspicion. They eventually reach the entrance to the room where the dragon hourglass is supposedly kept, according to Kizuna. However, when they open the door, they find a dead end and within moments they are surrounded by soldiers. It turns out that very elaborate security measures have been put in place for the dragon hourglass that the shield hero and his friends did not know.
With no choice but to fight back, Raphtalia takes charge and gives way to her allies as they race to different parts of the enigmatic building to find what they were looking for. After a long search, she senses that one of the dead ends is hollow and proceeds to erase the entrance. Raphtalia and others find the genius mage – credited with inventing a method to use the Return Dragon Vein – waiting for them there.
He explains that this was all a trap, and he deliberately put a few soldiers outside so he could corner them and surround them with more men. To their surprise, the mage claims to be working on Kyo’s orders and has been asked to capture them dead or alive. Before the soldiers can harm anyone, the shield hero uses his powers to push them away, while Raphtalia makes the opening for his friends to reach the dragon hourglass.
The hunting hero wastes no time starting the wrap with her powers so they can reach Sikul immediately. However, just moments after activation, Raphtalia is suddenly knocked out of effect, and Kyo’s voice greets the shield hero. The villain explains that he deliberately sent him to the infinite labyrinth and will now capture Raphtalia for his experiments, just like Filo. So, although everyone gets the Sikul, Raphtalia can’t go with him. She gladly accepts her fate and decides to fight Naofumi’s enemies.
