* {{Irony}}: FishOutOfTemporalWater: Averted and very downplayed with Eugeo. The world of ''The Rising of the Shield Hero'' has similar cultures, social customs, and magic system to the Underworld (even though it's a [[InsideAComputerSystem virtual reality]] created through ''very'' advanced technology with the people living inside being created from human consciousness), allowing him to adapt to his new surroundings better than the other Cardinal Heroes aside from his experience as a MagicKnight. The very downplayed part comes in regarding him hearing other Cardinal Heroes when they talk about "online computer games" or "modern technology", while he can't fully comprehend what they mean, he's still able to grasp a rudimentary concept of MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame when Naofumi explains to him in chapter 1.
