The Best Rising of the Shield Hero Characters

The Rising of the Shield Hero is the hottest anime right now, but who are your favorite characters? Let's rank every character from The Rising of the Shield Hero from best to worst, with the help of your votes! This includes good guys, villains, and even side characters who only make a handful of appearances.

It's pretty clear who the good and bad guys are in this series, as evidenced by the very first episode where Naofumi gets tricked and used by the manipulative Malty S Melromarc. She continues to pop up throughout the series, always to cause trouble for Naofumi and his group. Her sister Melty, however, is very likable, as is Naofumi's "slave" Filo, who switches between her bird and human form. One of the best Rising of the Shield Hero characters is obviously Raphtalia, who is Naofumi's first true ally in the series. She starts off shy and apprehensive, but after training with Naofumi becomes a powerful weapon that perfectly compliments his shielding abilities.
