It’s said that if the xylophone legendary weapon assists it with a combo move, every known universe will become a musical. Which doesn’t seem to be that bad but it’s weird that it happens.
By far my favourite piece in the series. It makes me so happy to listen to during an episode and during fights it gets me hyped. It's that DAMN SAX. THE SAX HERO
Buddy, as a fan of the novel and the manga, I am going to tell this to you right away: *MOTOYASU ISN'T THE WORST BEWARE THE BOW* Trust me, where the Spear is a fucking imbecile with a very serious hero complex, the bow is a fucking _monster_
@@tranle6607 Massive spoilers so I'll try to keep it vague. Of course, I got all of this from the manga/books, so I don't know if the anime will reveal it like that. You know Richia? The green haired girl who threw the barrels in episode 25? Well the anime cut out a whole scene where The bow hero basically breaks her to the point where she tries to commit suicide, and manages to convince everyone he's actually a really sensible/kind person when he does it. The other comes in way later, when he disobeys the Queen, nearly causes a massive war, and abandons smaller nations to be destroyed by an *ENORMOUS AND POWERFUL* monster cause he thinks he's in a game. I know I'm being vague, but I'm also trying to avoid the worst spoilers.
2:17 is the start of the amazing sax solo, but the best part of the sax solo is most definitely at 2:49. That part goes so well with the beat, you can't not bop your head to it. It's a groove.
It's no tho, (it lacks a strong rhythm section) I know I shouldn't be an asshole about this but it's the first thing you learn In music is rhythm this song has one but it not strong for that head pop, think about a strong *kack* from the drums
Visualize this: The saxophone represents Naofumi. The sax comes soloing against the strings which represent the tension in the scene. Throughout the piano plays at its own tune until 02:18 when the sax duets with the piano. The piano is Raphtalia. Right before this, the brass of the orchestra comes in but still in the background. As the piano/sax duet finishes the brass section swells into scene. The brass section represents allies. Although the power of the brass is building up to the end, the sax solos on never being overpowered by the brass section, even to the very end where its highest note is heard. What does this all all mean? Despite the waves taking place and Raphtalia being alone, Naofumi is alone in this world himself. This is until they finally meet and become a powerful duo. In battle, they fight alongside each other which can inspire others to want to join in and fight alongside them as well. Above all of this, it is still up to Naofumi to fight the hardest up until the final blow at the very end.
Never knew anime needed a sax! Really gives me that whole high up in the sky, fluffy yellow warm clouds, hair and clothing blowing in the wind, some grand castle hidden through cloud vale either on a mountain top or floating island, grand white final fantasy type castle/ kingdom hearts adventure/dark souls 2 dragon area vibes
Looks like Elden ring combined with rising of the shield hero. Elden Shield lol. Honestly would buy a rising of the shield hero game in a heartbeat too.
0:42 to 1:23 is the underdog in my opinion within this soundtrack, this helps build up an heroic figure ready to stand against all odds and I just love how it’s executed. Don’t get me wrong, I love the sax but I cannot deny the beauty that is what is between those time frames.
For those of you younger anime viewers; the sax used to be a common instrument for anime battle scenes. It's nice to see it make a comeback and it fits really well. I only wish they would have used it more for the sake of balance. Maybe we'll hear it more as badassery levels rise... pun intended.
@@ibrahimadewunmi4331exactly my thought too! Left me kinda feeling like I just got flexed on without any examples. Would love to see some more saxophone love!
Two questions, in which more old animes sax is used in battle themes? And do you know which genre Ohkami is? Don’t understand if this piece is neoclassical or jazz, or a mix of the two.
Actually loved this particular soundtrack when it played during the Sea Wave Edit: After rewatching the series, I realized this played a few times during the team's encounter with Fitoria.
I realize I'm like...almost 2 years late, buuuuttt....literally best ost I've ever heard. Sent shivers down my spine first time it played in the show. :3
What a ride. Slept on Rise of the Shield hero for like a year now. Watched all of Season 1 , 2 weeks ago and was hooked. So interested to see where the story is going next and the FUCKING SAX
This song is absolutely amazing! Every time I hear the sax kick in during the fight scenes I smile and cannot stop. I start waving my fists and everything
3 min of masterpiece, The drums that sounded like viking vibe, piano melody on point, the strings at the background maybe double bass and violin, and ya like jazz? 😀😏
few years ago i found a song called 'core pride' and its by Uverworld it was the first Intro for Blue Exorcist anime and it had a sax in and even since then ive fallen in love with the Instrument!!!! This song is no different great use of the sax I LOVE IT
when i heard this for the first time i was sure it was from another anime, at the time i also often listened to a made in abyss playlist while i studied. when i listened to the MIA playlist i was sure they had the same composer. Kevin Penkin truly has amazing work
The music is epic, and then the saxophone at 1:26 puts another layer of thought-provoking grooviness on it!! I love how it makes it unique from other Isekai! Almost reminded me of Cowboy Bebop later! The beautiful Sax!!
Yes, Naofumi and his party or just Naofumi alone fit well. Push those 3 stupid fucktards and fuckface bitchie aside, let ma shieldboi shine while this soundtrack playing
3 "weapon heros" will probably die in a wave. Leaving only shield hero and company. Luckily, fitoria already said the shield could do it alone. (Ep 17-18)
@@NoName5589 yeah, to be precise she said that each rising hero would raise the difficulty around twice the amount. That would mean if only Naofumi lives, the difficulty would rise eight times the basic difficulty. If Ren (or any other hero for that matter) survives as well, the difficulty would rise to four times the amount. If two heroes of Offensive weapons survive, the difficulty rises by twice the normal amount.
@@shalltearbloodfallen5795 yea. I was just winging it lol. Didnt remember off the top of my head, happy i was so close though, thanks for fact checkin me ^.^
came back here after season 2 episode 6 when they played a different version of this theme for Rishia. HOLY hell did they do this theme justice. Even more hype!
This song is a great them to write to playing the background. Essay, creative, or trying to create something. It is chill and really gives you a good vibe.

“Shield hero saxophone”
The sax is such an interesting choice for an epic piece like this and it works perfectly
The sax really is an underrated instrument when it comes to battle music. Both tate no yuusha and Red Dead Redemption 2 shows this
Yep agree. The use of the piano also reminds me of "Imper" and "Last Crest" from Trinity Seven. Two very cool tunes!
MasterZed absolutely, especially Giorno’s theme using it expertly
Nah it's the big lame instrument, nobody even likes them, I mean who would want to play I giant 's'
@@zed3493 even in battle music it's still played as a jazz instrument (in a more jazzy style than the long tones that the brass plays)

The fifth cardinal weapon: sexy sax
RE 4 Merchant voice: Stranger. Stranger.......now that's a weapon!
Sorry but the sax is a vassal weapon not a cardinal one. The 5th cardinal weapon is a fishing pole.

This is probably my favorite track right next to Autoroll. Great sax play at the end.

My 2nd fave too! Top is Glass though
I highly recommend you to listen to glass
what about Spirit Bomb and The rising of the shield hero?
I like the darker ones
sax solo, *happens

Agreed.
As a 90’s child whenever I hear saxophones it always gives me flashbacks to my childhood ☺️

God, you can tell just by listening that whoever is playing that sax is having so much fun, and it makes me so happy

Gigguk, you are right. This show needed a Sexy, Isekai Saxophone. Thank the Lord Kevin Penkin delivered!
Thank you for actually linking the art
2:45 - 3:19 GOD DAMN! THAT SAXOPHONE WAS GODLY.
This make's me want to buy a sax just to learn this godly power
I can listen to this for hours.
I wake up to this song it really just makes you feel like you were never sleep it energizes you
This music used for that anime is some kinda divine comedy on a universal scale
This and glass are my favourites!
