She thought this was the end, that she would die in battle against Orochi. But, fate would later grant her a second chance at life as the Cardinal Sword Hero. She and the Shield Hero will rise from disgrace and face the future.Rise of the Sword and the Shield is an ongoing crossover fanfiction between Senran Kagura and The Rising of the Shield Hero, in which Asuka becomes the Cardinal Sword Hero in place of Ren Amaki.Instead of defeating Orochi, Asuka and her friends perish in the fight against the giant Yoma. Now in the world of Shield Hero, Asuka becomes acquainted with her fellow Cardinal Heroes, Motoyasu, Itsuki, and Naofumi, and things would have gone smoothly in the fight against the Waves of Catastrophe, had a certain red-haired princess and her father the King not framed Naofumi for attempted rape.After trying to defend him, Asuka now has to contend with her own struggles in Melromarc being disparaged by a Fake Hero and looked down upon by her peers.It can be read here on FanFiction.Net. It can now also be read on Wattpad. This story is also a rewrite. For the original version, see here. Has nothing to do with Pokémon Sword and Shield.

Darker and Edgier: Downplayed, but the world of Senran Kagura is a lot darker due to the beginning showing all of our main characters having been killed in various awful ways by Orochi, ending with Asuka being burned to death. As mentioned above in Break the Cutie, this ends up leaving Asuka with PTSD and plagued by nightmares of the monster that killed her. The Shield Hero world, however, is just as bad as it was before.

Gone Horribly Right: Malty hated Asuka’s heroic and hopeful attitude and wanted nothing more than to break her. While she briefly broke down in tears from everything she was forced to admit AND Malty’s absolutely vile taunting, she unlocks her Curse of Wrath series shortly after. While she’s in no way heroic at this point, she is so filled with hate that she becomes absolutely determined to see the people who brought her nothing but misery brought to justice.

Adaptation Expansion: Cerberus was the First Wave boss, but it was never revealed what happened to it after the First Wave of Catastrophe ended. Here, it is an Arc-Villain, and Asuka is pitted against it in a fight to the death. Cerberus was also given a personality; in addition to being bloodthirsty, it also held the Might Makes Right mentality and was a Blood Knight.

Only Sane Man: Naofumi, weirdly even more so than in canon, as due to Asuka being the one to unlock her own cursed series first while Naofumi still hasn't unlocked his own, now he's left trying to calm down and rein in Asuka when she is getting too vengeful and angry for her own good.

For Myne, all her efforts to cheat in the match end up wasted as she spent it healing Motoyasu (who, as mentioned, barely stood a chance against either one of his opponents) and attempting to hit Asuka with her wind magic, which was so obvious even Motoyasu saw what she did, Motoyasu tells her that he'd rather see Asuka's breasts than win the match, the attack that Motoyasu hit Myne with destroyed her top and paralyzed her, and Asuka got a happy ending despite her best efforts.

Even Evil Has Standards: Chapter 09: For all of his corruption, Aultcray makes it clear he does not approve of the Three Heroes bickering amongst themselves, especially when it led to Asuka going into hiding after she was harassed and laughed at by Motoyasu and Itsuki. In the same chapter, both he and Pope Balmus are shocked by Malty's suggestion to enslave Asuka after they cheat in the duel. Chapter 19: Aultcray may think poorly of Asuka for continuously refusing to play ball and supporting Naofumi, but he furiously scolds Malty, whom he usually dotes upon, when she insults Asuka’s dead teammates and her inability to save them.

Handsome Lech: Motoyasu, big surprise. To make it more awkward, he flirts with Asuka, who doesn't appreciate it. Goes to exaggerated levels during the duel when Asuka offers him the chance to get a free attack on her...to her chest and tells him that would shred her top and expose her breasts. From there, Motoyasu becomes so focused on trying to do just that he ignores all warnings and demands to stop from his allies.

For Motoyasu, he is mopped across the floor by both Asuka and Naofumi, is offered a "handicap" by Asuka to hit her in the chest to expose her breasts that he takes with shameful eagerness, accidentally hits Myne with an attack, and is finally knocked out and stripped by Asuka to win the match.

Hidden in Plain Sight: After she is harassed, mocked, and pestered by Motoyasu, Itsuki, and Myne at the Adventurer’s Guild, Asuka goes into hiding by disguising herself with her shinobi arts. She uses this to gather information, keep an eye on Naofumi and Raphtalia, and eventually travel with Motoyasu and his team so she can beat them to the punch in killing a monster that would give Motoyasu an edge during their future duel.

Tranquil Fury: Once Asuka unlocks the Curse of Wrath series for her sword, she is completely calm the entire time, even cracking small jokes as she speaks. But a single look at Motoyasu causes him to wet himself and afterward he can only say that her gaze contained absolutely nothing but hate for him. Asuka is capable of being intimidating without completely giving to the Wrath Curse, as she threatens to resign from the fight against the Waves of Catastrophe and let a hellhole like Melromarc be destroyed, should Aultcray choose to not give her and Naofumi their monthly funding.

But then she outright demands that Motoyasu fight Asuka after a Wrath Sword possessed Asuka catches Malty’s wrist mid-slap and holds it hard enough to leave some bruises.

In chapter 03, Asuka gives one out to Motoyasu, Itsuki, Malty, and Aultcray following the trial. She lambasts everyone for the deplorable treatment of Naofumi, before attacking them individually: First, Motoyasu for his perverted personality, Myne for her true lying sadistic nature, Itsuki for not being sincere, and King Aultcray for his deceit and wasting time on a Kangaroo Court fueled by his hatred for the Shield Hero.

My God, You Are Serious!: When Asuka explains to the Four Heroes how she had fought and killed the Three-Headed Cerberus wave boss, Itsuki and Motoyasu immediately laugh at how ridiculous (they think) that sounds. Then when Motoyasu jokes that she'll next tell them she nearly died fighting it, seeing Asuka's humorless expression causes them both to realize that she wasn't kidding as well as connect the dots on why their respective relics glowed dimly a while ago.

For Want Of A Nail: In the canon story of Shield Hero, no one came to Naofumi’s defense during his False Rape Accusation, but here, Asuka quickly realizes something was wrong with Myne's claims and uses rational thinking to disprove them. However, In Spite of a Nail ensues when Myne lies about Naofumi plotting to rape her as well, which seals the deal in the eyes of the King, Motoyasu, Itsuki, and pretty much everyone else besides Asuka. Instead of Naofumi being forced to fight Motoyasu in a duel for Raphtalia, Asuka and Motoyasu are promised to fight a sacred duel that takes place after the Second Wave. If Asuka wins, Naofumi’s name is cleared of the accusations against him, and if Motoyasu wins, Asuka must serve the royal family. Later this nearly gets subverted when Myne attempts to force a duel between Motoyasu and Naofumi so he'd lose Raphtalia anyway, but through a series of events including Asuka unlocking the Wrath Sword and terrifying Motoyasu into nearly refusing to fight, it becomes double subverted as a fight is set up with Naofumi and Asuka fighting against Motoyasu and Itsuki. In canon, Rino is sold as a slave and later seen in the far future after she manages to trick her way into Malty's party again and literally stabs her in the back. Here, she gets sold in front of Asuka, who is quick to rescue her from the slavers. This results in her joining Asuka's party as her very first party member. In canon, Naofumi is the first one to unlock one of the Cursed series weapons. In this story, Asuka is the first one to unlock one when she receives the Sloth Sword, then later gets the Wrath Sword as well, while Naofumi still hasn't unlocked any. In canon, Motoyasu "beats" Naofumi due to Malty's cheating, but he still gets to keep Raphtalia when she refuses to leave his side. In this story, Asuka and Naofumi not only beat Motoyasu together, but Asuka singlehandedly takes down Itsuki and causes Motoyasu to publicly humiliate Malty by accidentally destroying her top and paralyzing her in one attack. In canon, only Naofumi gets his payment revoked because of Aultcray's petty excuses, but has it reinstated after the Sword and Bow Heroes argue how unfair it is. In this story, both Naofumi and Asuka have their payment revoked after Aultcray gets mad at them for winning the duel and, due to Itsuki's dislike of Asuka, Asuka has to convince Aultcray on her own to pay them fairly. This has a trickledown effect that causes her to refuse to accept future payments from the King since she feels he's too petty to trust.

I Reject Your Reality: Motoyasu refuses to believe that Asuka genuinely hates him. He wholeheartedly believes it's a drug that makes her hate him and not Naofumi. He doesn't even question its existence, he believes it because Myne told him.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech
 Rise of the Sword and the Shield (Fanfic) / int_7d89315b
comment
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: In chapter 03, Asuka gives one out to Motoyasu, Itsuki, Malty, and Aultcray following the trial. She lambasts everyone for the deplorable treatment of Naofumi, before attacking them individually: First, Motoyasu for his perverted personality, Myne for her true lying sadistic nature, Itsuki for not being sincere, and King Aultcray for his deceit and wasting time on a Kangaroo Court fueled by his hatred for the Shield Hero. In Chapter 20, Asuka gives another one to Motoyasu as the duel reaches its climax about how easily distracted he is by pretty girls and how easy it is to take advantage of him. In chapter 21, Asuka roasts Aultcray and Myne for trying to extort her and Naofumi and for their rigging and cheating in the duel. She also berates Aultcray for his half-ass handling of the Waves and threatens to abstain from the fight if he doesn't give her the promised money. In the same chapter, Aultcray snaps at Motoyasu for his idiocy when the latter tries to offer to pay for Myne's armor since he destroyed it by accident. Again in the same chapter, Raphtalia, Naofumi, and Asuka also read Motoyasu the riot act for his participation in Myne and Aultcray's scheme and his inability to care for a slave, preferring to follow Myne's orders.

Bullying a Dragon: Much like in canon, Malty doesn't have the best sense of when not to poke the bear due to her inflated ego and bratty nature and so doesn't think it's a bad idea to try and slap a Curse of Wrath affected Asuka, who had practically teleported behind her several seconds ago AND effortlessly lifted Motoyasu off the ground with a single-handed neck grab almost a minute ago. Somewhat justified as she had previously managed to slap Asuka without much trouble, but still highly inadvisable.

Abhorrent Admirer: Following chapter 03's trial, Asuka voices her contempt at Motoyasu for his lechery. He doesn't get the message, due to believing she's under the effects of a drug and he still pursues her. Asuka even goes out of her way to avoid him as much as possible.

Humiliation Conga: Chapter 20 features one hell of one delivered to Motoyasu, Itsuki, and Myne, with some extra carrying over to Aultcray and Pope Balmus. For Motoyasu, he is mopped across the floor by both Asuka and Naofumi, is offered a "handicap" by Asuka to hit her in the chest to expose her breasts that he takes with shameful eagerness, accidentally hits Myne with an attack, and is finally knocked out and stripped by Asuka to win the match. For Itsuki, he is barely able to help out Motoyasu due to Naofumi blocking all his attacks with his shield techniques, when he finally fights Asuka he nearly gets a hit on her only to learn that the one he attacked was a clone, he is brought down in one strike from Asuka's Sloth Sword draining his vitality, and stays conscious while watching Motoyasu humiliate himself, praying that no one would associate him with Motoyasu's pervertedness. For Myne, all her efforts to cheat in the match end up wasted as she spent it healing Motoyasu (who, as mentioned, barely stood a chance against either one of his opponents) and attempting to hit Asuka with her wind magic, which was so obvious even Motoyasu saw what she did, Motoyasu tells her that he'd rather see Asuka's breasts than win the match, the attack that Motoyasu hit Myne with destroyed her top and paralyzed her, and Asuka got a happy ending despite her best efforts. Both Aultcray and Pope Balmus had to suffer the humiliation of their heroes getting thoroughly trounced by Asuka and Naofumi, having Motoyasu openly show what a shameless pervert he is for all to see, and for Aultcray he had his own daughter get exposed by his favored hero in front of all the people of his country before being forced to acknowledge Asuka and Naofumi as the victors. The humiliation continues in chapter 21, where Asuka forces Aultcray to fairly pay her and Naofumi for their services during the Second Wave. This after he tried to extort them for the repairs for Myne and Motoyasu's armor. She also casually reveals that slave crests don't work on Cardinal Heroes, rendering Myne's efforts completely pointless. Motoyasu himself is still fearful of provoking Asuka after losing horribly to her, and when he tries to persuade Raphtalia to leave Naofumi, she calls him a pervert who lies and cheats and denounces his efforts to defend Myne and Aultcray's desire to free her from her servitude, calling all three of them bad people for what they did. Naofumi has also taken a potshot at the Spear Hero’s groin.

Take a Third Option: Initially, Asuka challenges Motoyasu to a fight after the Second Wave in order to try and clear Naofumi of the false rape charges levied against him by Malty. However, when the time comes, Malty attempts to further screw over Naofumi by getting Motoyasu to challenge him to a fight due to him owning Raphtalia as a slave. Asuka insists on fighting Motoyasu and eventually is allowed the chance to after intimidating King Aultcray into allowing it while under the effects of the Curse of Wrath. However, due to Motoyasu refusing to fight Asuka, Itsuki offers one last option... that Naofumi and Asuka fight against Motoyasu and Itsuki, 2 on 2.

Even after being scolded by King Aultcray and Pope Balmus, Itsuki readily blames her disappearance on Motoyasu. He even insists Asuka is "blowing things out of proportion".

Seven Deadly Sins: Much like canon, the Cursed Series follows this. Asuka unlocks the Sloth Sword, which grants her the ability to drain energy from anything she cuts, though at the cost of suppressing her emotions to the point of apathy, and it makes her see hallucinations of her deceased friends. Later on, during the party that occurs after the Second Wave, Asuka unlocks the Wrath Sword after Malty pressures Asuka into telling everyone about the deaths of her friends and herself which caused her to be summoned to begin with.

He gets hit with this even harder upon hearing exactly how rough Asuka has had it before and even after being summoned to Melromarc, to the point that he comes to feel she has suffered far worse than he ever did.

Oh, Crap!: Malty has one upon the revelation that Asuka managed to kill the Three-Headed Cerberus. A part of this, however, seems to come with knowing that this means Rino, who she had sold to slavers that got killed by the beast, possibly survived. In Chapter 21, after receiving payments for fighting in the Second Wave, Asuka reveals her knowledge of several things to everyone, resulting in several of these from King Aultcray. Among them are: That she knows Malty has a sister who is the true next in line to become Queen, much to Aultcray's dismay. That she knows about the Queen, which makes Aultcray go pale. That she knows Malty, King Aultcray, and Pope Balmus had planned to try and enslave her, at which point Aultcray can't even bring himself to look at Asuka.

This is despite how dysfunctional they are as a team, something Asuka acknowledges.

In Spite of a Nail: Although Asuka was initially supposed to fight against Motoyasu after the Second Wave, Malty, much like in canon, convinces Motoyasu to challenge Naofumi to a duel in order to "free" Raphtalia. This doesn't last long as Asuka, under the effects of the Curse of Wrath, intimidates King Aultcray into allowing her to fight in Naofumi's stead, then gets further subverted when Motoyasu's reluctance to fight Asuka gives Itsuki a chance to suggest a fight of Naofumi and Asuka vs Motoyasu and Itsuki.

In chapter 09, King Aultcray and Pope Balmus lecture Motoyasu and Itsuki for causing Asuka to leave the Adventurer's Guild by laughing at and denouncing her training methods and belief that the current world they inhabit is real.

Adaptational Wimp: Sort of, as unlike in canon, Naofumi has yet to unlock any of the cursed series.

Hypocrite: In Naofumi's trial, Motoyasu condemns him for supposedly attempting to rape Myne. Asuka calls him out and rightly accuses him of hugging her earlier just to get a feel of her breasts.

Hate Sink: Myne, Motoyasu, and Itsuki, more so in than canon. Myne because of how she goes out of her way to antagonize Asuka out of petty jealousy, and Motoyasu for his delusional obsession with Asuka. Itsuki antagonizes her, due to his jealousy of Asuka.

Clothing Damage: Asuka somewhat invokes this by offering Motoyasu a chance to attack her chest and rip her top during the duel to distract him, then it actually happens to both Myne (who gets her top destroyed) and Motoyasu (who ends up completely naked) by the end of the duel.

comment
The Mole: Elena reveals herself immediately to be one as soon as Asuka deduces her real intentions in approaching her. However, Elena had already decided to cut ties with Motoyasu's party by then, so her plea to join Asuka's party is genuine. Asuka only allows her join as a slave and figured using her as Double Agent for both sides would be advantageous.

comment
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Motoyasu being absolutely certain that a Wrath Sword possessed Asuka couldn’t possibly be the result of the made-up drug Malty told him was making her support Naofumi leaves everyone who heard him so shocked that he’s actually accepting reality that they see it as a dire situation.

Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like: Asuka rightfully calls out Motoyasu, Itsuki, Myne, and Aultcray for treating her like a helpless victim to incriminate Naofumi as a rapist.

Evil Is Petty
 Rise of the Sword and the Shield (Fanfic) / int_fe64d5a1
comment
Evil is Petty: Naturally, Malty and Aultcray fall under this. This is especially the case with Malty because she can't stand Asuka. All because she reminded her of Melty and has bigger breasts. Mald holds a petty grudge against Asuka because she disbanded her party at the beginning, forcing him to go to Itsuki. After the duel, Aultcray tries to have Asuka and Naofumi's payment revoked after they won the contest fairly. He was intent on forcing Asuka to pay for the damages to Myne and Motoyasu's armor, claiming her conduct was dishonorable. This is despite going back on his word to stop the duel should Myne interfere. Aultcray was also willing to extort Naofumi's payment for supposedly dragging the Sword Hero along with him to defend a measly village like Lute, forgetting that it was the duty of Heroes to protect civilians. He's forced to relent when Asuka threatens to abstain from future fights against the Waves.
