Episode 11 recap
The eleventh episode of Season 3 opened with Itsuki preparing for his arena fight with Rishia Ivyred by giving himself words of affirmation. Confident in his abilities and underestimating Rishia, he aims to prove how evil Naofumi truly is. However, to his surprise, his actions result in the arrows attacking the announcer, and ultimately lead to Rishia defeating him with his own bow's power. The bow rejects Itsuki's idea of justice and seemingly creates a new weapon for Rishia to use against him.
Hilariously, Itsuki then rushes to search for Malty, only to discover that she deceived and robbed him just like she did the other heroes. Itsuki then faints and reminisces about the past, awakening in Lurolona Village where he will work to repay his debts. The episode concludes with Raphtalia pondering whether Itsuki can overcome his catatonic-like state, to which Naofumi remarks that grappling with one’s own sense of justice can be a complicated task.
What to expect (speculative)
The upcoming episode of The Rising of the Shield Hero season 3, episode 12, will have Naofumi and his team gearing up for the arrival of the Phoenix. With all the Cardinal Heroes now working together, the focus will likely shift to preparing for the upcoming battle against the powerful Guardian Beast. Although the beast may not make an appearance in the next episode, fans can expect to see Naofumi training and getting the others ready for the impending fight.
Don't miss out on The Rising of the Shield Hero season 3 episode 12, which is expected to shed light on Malty's increasing influence in the later part of the season. It remains uncertain what this focus will uncover, but it is possible that some kind of scheme or plan will be revealed.

Editor's P/S
As an enthusiastic fan of The Rising of the Shield Hero, I am eagerly anticipating the release of season 3 episode 12. The previous episode left us with a thrilling cliffhanger, as Rishia Ivyred defeated Itsuki with his own bow's power. I can't wait to see how this development will affect Itsuki's character and his relationship with the other heroes.
I am also excited to see how Naofumi and his team will prepare for the arrival of the Phoenix. The Guardian Beast is sure to be a formidable opponent, and I am eager to see how the heroes will strategize to defeat it. I have full confidence in Naofumi's leadership and abilities, and I believe that he will lead his team to victory.
