* Naofumi would later realise that Malty, Aultcray and the Church of the Three Heroes, did what they did, simply because he was summoned as the Shield Hero.

** This is especially scary when you look at it from the perspective of the Three Heroes. They ''trusted'' the King and Princess. Whilst it was wrong of them to do so, in hindsight, it is easy to understand why the Princess' accusations were believed and why they would think that the King had their best interests at heart. Given everything that had happened and from what they witnessed, they all fully believed that Naofumi was a ''villain'' who committed an inexcusable act, showed no remorse for his crime and continued, from their perspective to do villainous things. Then, the Queen shows them in a way that cannot be refuted that Naofumi, who had professed his innocence from the very beginning '''was''' telling the truth all along. One can only imagine how they would have reacted after the fact, had they actually maimed or KILLED Naofumi.

* Malty's eye taunt has become an infamous example of that trope. In that moment she not only shows Naofumi and the audience her true colours, but reveals that she is ''relishing'' in his suffering. The worst part is that there is absolutely nothing that Naofumi can do about it.
