The Reprise of the Spear Hero/List of Time Loops

Introduction
One of the main reoccurring elements in The Reprise of the Spear Hero is the idea of time travel. Whenever one of the four legendary heroes of Raphtalia's World dies, Motoyasu is sent back in time to when the four heroes were originally summoned in order to correct any mistakes. He is given this power through a spear called the Minute Hand of the Dragon which was found in the ancient filolial sanctuary. This page will summarize all known timelines within The Reprise of the Spear Hero.

Loop 0 - The Original Timeline
This timeline is story covered in The Rising of the Shield Hero and is the first time Naofumi, Motoyasu, Ren and Itsuki were summoned to Melromarc as Heroes. In this timeline, Naofumi was framed by Malty and persecuted by King Aultcray. As a result, Naofumi goes through a traumatic experience which permanently hardens his personality. He buys Raphtalia as a slave and raises Filo from an egg bought from the Slave Trader. He ends up building a village of slaves and saves the world multiple times. The other heroes assume they are transported into a game at first which lead them to make multiple mistakes along the way. Naofumi ends up saving them all from their destructive paths and let them join his village.

At some point, Motoyasu is killed which activates the Minute Hand of the Dragon spear which forces him into his first time loop.

Loop 1 - The Reprise of the Spear Hero
(Light Novel Volume 1 Prologue - Light Novel Volume 1 Chapter 4)

After realizing that he has a second chance to redeem himself, Motoyasu does his best to protect Naofumi. Unfortunately, his lack of tact destroys his credibility with the other heroes almost immediately. When Naofumi is framed, Malty runs to Itsuki instead of Motoyasu for help. Motoyasu uses his incredible power and intimidation to save Naofumi. He trains Naofumi and his new filolial Kuro until Naofumi is approached by "Siltvelt emissaries" who are later revealed to be Melromarc assassins. Naofumi is killed and Motoyasu is forced to reset.

Loop 2 - Itsuki's Death Test
(Light Novel Volume 1 Chapter 4)

After realizing he gets sent back after a Legendary Hero dies, Motoyasu tests out his theory by killing Itsuki when they are first summoned. Itsuki is killed and Motoyasu is sent to his next time loop.

Loop 3 - Ren's Death Test
(Light Novel Volume 1 Chapter 4)

In order to verify his theory about the requirements for a time reset, Motoyasu tests out his theory by killing Ren when they are first summoned. Ren is killed and Motoyasu is sent to his next time loop.

Loop 4
(Light Novel Volume 1 Chapter 4 - Light Novel Volume 2 Chapter 10)

This time, Motoyasu attempts to use a more reserved approach than the first loop. He uses his knowledge of the future to convince the other heroes that he either is from the future or has precognition abilities. King Aultcray and Malty attempt to trap Motoyasu but he escapes with Eclair. The two then save Naofumi from the assassins pretending to be Siltveltian emissaries. The group are then met with the real Siltveltian emissaries who lead them to Siltvelt. On the journey, Motoyasu buys three filolial eggs from the farm which hatches Yuki, Kou and Sakura. Both the filolials and Naofumi level-up significantly during the journey which helps them through the repeated assassination attempts from The Church of the Three Heroes. Eventually, the group make it to Siltvelt.

While in Siltvelt, Eclair starts attempting to get support from Queen Mirellia while Naofumi is constantly bombarded with women who want to have children with him. Motoyasu and Sakura protect Naofumi but then have attempts made on their own lives. Angered by this, Naofumi finally asserts his dominance and takes up a leadership role in Siltvelt. Motoyasu takes advantage of this to procure funds in an attempt to obtain Filo' s egg, resulting in him purchasing the slave dealer's (supposed) entire stock of Filolial eggs. During this time, Motoyasu unintentionally kills Tulina when she attempted to masquerade as the Vassal Claw hero. The Vassal Whip hero named Takt from Shieldfreeden also arrives and tries to ambush the two heroes from revenge but is killed by Motoyasu. Now both Shieldfreeden and Melromarc declare war on Siltvelt.

The Heroes and their party confront the Melromarc army who is led by King Aultcray, the pope, and Itsuki. Diplomacy does work and the two forces are forced to fight. Eclair gets the Queen's support and reinforcements against King Aultcray's army. Motoyasu kills the pope and Malty and defeats Itsuki. Seeing that Itsuki was easily defeated, his companion Mald quickly turns against him and Itsuki is killed by his own companion.
