Ren Amaki, also known as the Sword Hero, is one of the main characters of The Rising of the Shield Hero. He also became the main antagonist of Volume 11 of the Light Novels, after he succumbed to the effects of his Curse Series.

After the Spirit Turtle event, Ren eventually lost his companions and his equipment because of Malty Melromarc's betrayal and manipulation, in the same way, she once betrayed Naofumi, causing him to be affected by the Curse Series of Greed and Gluttony.

After his descent into madness, he became a lead bandit, until Naofumi and his companions defeated him. After that, he decided to atone himself from his sins, including his misdeeds under the Curse Series' effects and his sins, in honor of his late companions, finally acknowledging them as people in the flesh. He was also the rival-turned-love interest of Eclair Seatto, the Female Knight.

In the anime series, he is voiced by Yoshitsugu Matsuoka in Japanese and Alan Lee in English, with the former also voicing Petelgeuse Romanee-Conti.

Every year, during the harvest season, they would create scarecrows to guard their precious fields from birds and other pests that threatened their livelihoods. However, one particular scarecrow stood out from the rest. Locals believed it was inhabited by an evil spirit.

    Curse of the scatefrow

    The villagers had observed strange occurrences and unexplained phenomena whenever they approached the cursed scarecrow. Many fervently believed that anyone who disrespected, damaged, or destroyed the scarecrow would face dire consequences. Children were warned never to approach the scarecrow, even during their mischievous games. Parents passed down the tale, emphasizing the potential dangers of crossing paths with the cursed figure. The scarecrow became a feared symbol in the village, and people would often avoid going near it, especially after dark. According to the legend, those who dared to harm the scarecrow faced terrible misfortunes. They would be plagued by nightmares, illness, or accidents. Their crops would wither, and tragedy would befall their families. Some even claimed to have seen the scarecrow come to life, haunting those who had wronged it. These terrifying tales reinforced the belief in the curse and kept the villagers on edge. Despite the fear instilled among the villagers, curiosity sometimes got the better of them. Some dared to test the curse. They would mock, damage, or even set fire to the scarecrow, believing it to be mere superstition. However, shortly after committing these acts, they would find themselves facing the consequences of their actions. The fear and respect for the scarecrow acted as a deterrent for many, ensuring that the cursed figure remained unharmed. As generations passed, the curse became a part of the village's identity, and the legend of the scarecrow was shared with neighboring communities as well. Today, the village continues to uphold the tale, reminding outsiders and newcomers to show respect towards the scarecrow. They treat it as a symbol of protection, rather than a mere agricultural tool. The Curse of the Scarecrow serves as a cautionary tale for those who underestimate the power of the supernatural and the importance of respecting the unknown..

    Reviews for "The Scarecrow's Curse: An Urban Legend or a Supernatural Reality?"

    1. John - 2 stars
    I was really disappointed with "Curse of the scarecrow". The acting was subpar and the storyline was predictable. There were no real scares, and the scarecrow itself was more laughable than anything else. The characters made the most illogical choices that it was frustrating to watch. Overall, it was a forgettable horror film that I wouldn't recommend.
    2. Sarah - 3 stars
    "Curse of the scarecrow" had potential, but it fell flat for me. The storyline had potential, but it lacked suspense and the scares were too cliché. I found myself not really caring about the characters, as they were very one-dimensional and lacked any depth. The pacing was also off, with some scenes being unnecessarily dragged out. It's a shame because the cinematography was decent, but that wasn't enough to save this film for me.
    3. Michael - 2 stars
    As a horror fan, I was excited to watch "Curse of the scarecrow". However, it failed to deliver on any real horror. The scares were predictable and lacked any originality. The script was weak, and the dialogue felt forced. The overall atmosphere of the film was also lacking, as it failed to build any real tension. Sadly, "Curse of the scarecrow" was a forgettable and underwhelming horror film.
