| Everyone: "Glad the bad stuff is out of the way, now it's time for good stuff." Me: Well I guess this series is gonna go downhill fast even though it's been amazing so far. |
| People are disliking this arc? Then am I one of the few, if not only one, who is actually liking it so far? |

| Raphtalia is the Waifu of the year, and whoever disagrees is going to get his ass kicked... lol Real Talk, this episode was amazing, Raphtalia's devotion to Naofumi is really heartwarming, it also seems that Naofumi can feel now. Sometimes its good to let it all out on a vent. I hope that bitch daughter of the king get transported into Goblin Slayer world and get raped by Goblins, she deserves even worse than that tho. |

| Man I sure hope that bitch Malty and the bastard King get dealt with soon, still it was nice to see Naofumi owning spear "hero". "Curse series"...that sounds like it'd be pretty op. Best girl Raphtalia saves the day <3 Good that she's there for Naofumi and now he can actually taste food! A shame there was no kiss. |
 |
| Infuriating in many ways. I felt completely pulled out of the story when Rapthalia slapped Motoyasu. First she can't speak out because she was immediately gagged, now for some reason they allow her to speak her mind at full length, what?! When following the characters and actions of the princess and the king, after slapping Motoyasu, Raphtalia should've received some sort of immediate retaliation and Naofumi should've endured even more, up to the point where the viewers would flip their desks. For example: Naofumi would be exiled even. Rapthalia eventually manages to leave the city but only finds Naofumi after a few days of searching, void of everything, just wondering blindly. She then begins trying to warm up to him - this is projected from the baseline given, imHo. Another version, Rapthalia is punished by first separating from Naofumi, dragged off to somewhere and secretly the slave curse would be recast to obey some of those nasty royal knights, nothing rapey, but obedience (since Rapthalia would offer quite a bit of resistance). Naofumi is exiled and would forcefully meet Raphtalia during the next wave etc etc... I hate myself for even thinking of this scenario. Ok lets say the royal knights venture out scouting or something in just 2 days after the duel and then etc etc... ah fak, still feels bad in my heart... of course I like the happy ending this episode had but it does not fit what its based on, I'm morally and emotionally OCD. In given episode however, all of a sudden Motoyasu becomes a wimp, Kawasumi and Ren make 180 like it is nothing, maybe 175 because they were showing some angle in ep. 3. But considering that they still thought Naofumi was a rapist, how in the hell would they say anything at all, especially when Ren was mumbling earlier: "I thought he couldn't stoop any lower, but he has". HOWEVER.. perhaps when Kawasumi and Ren see that Naofumi can beat someone 20 lvls higher and they agree that he has the upper hand... they are actually afraid (their faces are mostly emotionless and basically unnecessary, so this could obviously not be read out from their faces), also they are the youngest. As the anime has portrayed them, you can think of many odd reasons why they could flip, but certainly not without an explanation. If the side characters were built and staged a bit less disgusting, perhaps I could've understood this flippity flapity flooping. LN is probably more smooth, but I'm talking about ep 4.. the anime version. |

| It's not easy to make someone irl hate a character from media, well done, the whole kingdom can burn in hell. |
| It was a good episode, though i'd prefer if they had stayed a little true to the manga. |
| Its been a really long time since I felt so many emotions in one single episode. Hate, disgust, frustration, sadness, depression, happiness, surprise and finally satisfaction. Easily the best single episode I've seen this season. Had action-packed battle, a lot of politics and drama all in the near perfect amount(atleast for me). The battle was enjoyable with Shieldbro winning over Spearc*ck using his wits. And then finally that moment between Shieldbro and best girl Raphtalia was soo heartwarming <3 He can finally taste food yesss. Ma boi been through a lot. He deserves this much atleast 😊 |
| When will the whore and the spear-wielding cuck be killed already? They're nothing but lying, mischievious scum that should be eradicated. Tell me i can expect their death within the anime adaptation. |
 |
| I really hate that blond haired spear guy. Am I saying it every episode? Just really hope he suffers a lot. Hope the princess is humiliated, and the king loses his power. They are terrible and ungrateful. I like the grown up Raphtalia. I had a feeling that the two remaining heroes were actually good enough people. While the blond-spear-douche was busy trying to impress the princess, the two other heroes just seemed disgusted by "Naofumi's actions". Now, they have proof of how horrible the king and the princess are. This really makes me want to see the next episode. I am so surprised that I am actually enjoying an Isekai for its story and characters. |
Swagernator said: I think they will tone it down after this episode. I really like the everything is going against him angle. This episode felt like an end of an arc so I can see the story moving further forward next episode.The over victimization of our MC is getting pretty overused pretty fast, this is 4th episode and im already sick of it. Like yeah, we got it ... everyone hates him, can we please move on onto something more interesting, please. |

Not everyone is an alpha male with balls of steel like yourself, able to shrug off any amount of injustice and discrimination with a confident expression and a flippant middle finger.

| This show still just feels like it's trying hard to defend slavery. As I said last week, there was no logical reason for him NOT to free her already. This episode tried to make everyone else look like bad guys and Naofumi a good guy but sorry, he's still the real bad guy for wanted to keep her as a slave and for (as he admitted) seeing someone as a "tool" and not a person. Then Malty shows her racist side so she's still getting worse, too. Basically Malty and Naofumi are both terrible but the other heroes don't seem too bad,just ignorant of the truth. But the author still seems to be pushing awful messages like "slavery is okay if the slave says so" and the other stuff from earlier episodes. |

itsnouse said: I have sew questions regarding what we have seen by far. 1. Why the heck people started evacuating only when the shit began? what about the giant hourglasses? The damn event was literally scheduled! 2.What's up with this thing about incompatibleness of the heroes? How duel between spear and shield heroes is even possible? How spear,bow and sword could fight the boss together if it was established in the first episode that they can't? The series is really enjoyable, but if things like that won't be explained I will be disappointed On a good side: Raphtalia is totally the best girl of the season 1. They knew the time, not the place, what are u gonna do, evacuate the whole world, and where? 2. I think when u say "incompatibleness of the heroes" u mean the fact that they can't level up if they're togheter, but that's it, they just can't level up. They don't gain any experience if they are togheter because their weapons interfere with each other. They can still fight without any issue tho. |
| Everyone got triggered again in this episode. I do not remember such anime characters that makes me angry like that king and his daughter. |

That hourglass is sitting in the capital, where people *were* preparing to fight an invasion, not the village where it looks like nobody had any idea when or where the invasion was going to take place. 2. Did you watch the episode? You saw how the duel was possible yourself, what more do you want?. RE: Them fighting the boss together, at no point was it established they need all 4 heroes to beat the first wave boss, not sure where you got that from. |
| Best episode so far. I like how Naofumi finally thrusts Raphtalia. |
Kougeru said: I think he wanted to keep her as a slave so he couldn’t be betrayed again. It had nothing to do with ownership or him wanting power over her. In the first episode he is betrayed so now he has some pretty bad trust issues. He just doesn’t want to be screwed over again.This show still just feels like it's trying hard to defend slavery. As I said last week, there was no logical reason for him NOT to free her already.

Tokoya said: Not the whole country my man, just the nobles.Seeing Naofumi wreck the Spear cunt was so satisfying, but of course, that fucking bitch and her fuckboy of a father had to go and piss me the fuck off again I honestly want the entire country to fucking burn and I want that inhumane disgusting bitch of a princess to have every worse thing in the book done to her before meeting a horrible death and I don't give a fuck But I'm glad that at least the sword and bow heroes called them out on their bullshit, there might be hope for their self-righteous asses yet....Also, I'm glad that they managed to wreck the whiners from episode 1 in regards to this show supposedly "gloryfying slavery" But thank god for Raphtalia, she is truly best girl TwT |

This episode felt like an end of an arc so I can see the story moving further forward next episode. That picture... like me walking into these forums each time. The "overvictimization" never happened. It is just a construct of an unhealthy mind. So because you don't agree with it,you're saying Swagernator has an unhealthy mind? That's extremely dehumanizing and vile. The "overvictimization" is very real anyway. 4 episodes of trying to make me feel bad for a person that proved himself to be a terrible person time and time again is overvictimization. They could've stopped this at the rape accusation but they've gone overboard. He's a victim for sure, but he's got his own share of issues like not freeing Raph when he could've. Supporting the idea of slavery. Saying slaves are not people. Sorry, two wrongs don't make a right. Just because he had awful things happen to him doesn't mean he gets to do awful things but that's exactly what the author seems to think. That's why it's "overvictimization". He's guilty in enough ways to negate the pity I felt for him in episode 1. |

Farmaceut said: yup, I suspected from episode 1 he was just some useful idiot and not part of plot by I could not be entirely sure. This episode proves my point. And it mirrors reality: the biggest problem is not evil women but the white knight maginas that support them and attack other men for them.So Spear Hero is just a little bitch controled by Princess Bitch............ |
isaep said: Isnt tis overexagerrating? You see, tis scene is supposed to be tearful like in manga, now im confused wether the anime or the manga is the real adaptation. The word he wanted to hear is different like but in the anime 'i am your sword'? Not to mention her timing and long talk. Dammit which one is real man It was pretty similar in wording. Anime rarely adapts a manga/LN word for word. She still said she believed in him and believes he would never do what he was accused of...and then she talked about all the things he did for her to give him reassurance on her true feelings.

Are you going to ignore the fact that him and Raphtalia single handedly saved an entire village and was upset that he didn't know he could transport allies with him...because if he knew that he could have saved even more villagers. Calling Naofumi a terrible person is idiotic at best. The questionable things he has done were a means to and end. He's done far more good than bad. Slavery slavery slavery blahblahblah. It's like you can't think beyond a one-dimensional view of reality. Mod Edit: Merged posts. |

Some people actually continue watching it with some sort of hope it gets better or for mild entertainment and have critiques per episode. It could be descriptive or flatout "show is trash". why thou?are they masochist or something?whats the point of watching it every week and hating it? i don't even start watching shows that im not interested in! as i said having critic is totally fine. but saying that its trash every week is concerning, i don't know if they r just trolling or they really watch something that they hate very week and cry about it! but if its the second case im really concern about their mental health! They're mad cuz this show is getting more attention that their fav and that's their way of working off their anger or smth, I guess? |

They did not fight together. Also I think during a cataclism they can? |

| Excellent episode. Didn't let me down this time. I wonder why the studio didn't use the ED music. It would fit super well. I'm glad they skipped the scene where Naofumi kissed Raphtalia on the cheek. A romance subplot is just out of place and doesn't fit well. |
