Honestly Kumoko vs Araba was nuts, I didnt mind the CGI too much but that fight was a legit badass.

Felt Kumo's outburst at the end there a bit overreacting though, like, really overreacting to the point of crying? Really?

Unfortunately the anime skipped/barely touched on why she has this fixation and trauma with Araba, it does feel forced if you only view it from the anime perspective.

It hasn't really skipped it, it just hasnt been addressed yet. She doesn't even know why until

That was an awesome episode. I like how she said why an earth dragon can have fire-based skills. The battle was really intense and her sloth skill was 100% her trap card, alongside the rot skill. I liked the little speech she gave Araba before it died. Still confused with the ending where Ariel talked about fighting an earth dragon before. Also, our girl finally made it out of the cave.

This whole episode was simply awesome!

At the end there i almost expected Kumoko to heal Araba and then they either continue fighting, or become friends...

Gotta admit, I was not expecting much from this anime due to the way people described it and how it started off. Many said it was a Slime clone but this stands on it's own two feet and the twists, amount of skills, mystery, and action have all been pretty good and fun to watch. This is not a clone of anything and is worth watching imo.

Rip Araba, you put up a good fight!

Now Kumoko is finally out of the labyrinth. Can't wait to see what the second cour has in store for us. Looking forward to more Ariel and what will become of Fei who is evolving in that egg.

this would have been a nice season ender if the anime only had 12 episodes.

Good fight, that magic spam though.
Kumo's pride is through the roof, even with a victory she is not pleased because her ego and hypocritical obsession with araba even though she is the same mass genocidal monster.

That ending reminds me of this confusing yet funny image


I assume the white girl must be Kumoko but it makes me wonder, is Kumoko controlling the demon lord girl like a puppet? or is she just another reborn.


I think it's another reborn that Kumoko is helping and allowing to use her stuff like memories and threads (like in the general war room scene) so she isn't the one drawing the world's ire directly. However she killed shun's bro so lol.

I was really expecting Araba to be another reborn the way it spent points and such + the way it handled defeat. Or maybe that's a PC from someone given how much of a game this is. I wish they had been able to communicate with each other.

I never really liked this fight, for all its epicenes I never liked the oh but wait, another super overpowered cheat skill. Cheapens the whole encounter, winning on a technicality.

Araba is the real winner to me, going down with your head held high, with no regrets.

decent fight for once i was actually interested in it seeing how equal they were didn't help it looked like a nightmare to watch due to the cgi and what type of fight it was with all that movement...but then it kinda just ended normally i would call it a asspull and i still would lol but i just gave up caring on reading her 100s of skills she gets so i'm like sure why not have that skill why wouldn't she

but that uh outbrust came out of left field just thinking why does she care so much about a monster when she hasn't once this whole show during her mass monster murdering spree (sure i get oh they clashed and she fought a great rival and hates that it just gave up and is questioning her own struggle for survival) point is it just randomly popped up

despite overall not really loving this first cour and the visuals really didn't help i think it has a chance in going in far more interesting ways with what they have set up so far so refraining from talking to poorly on it till we see the 2nd cour

this is a alright show

CGI was stepped up a notch for the Araba fight, really good stuff, great end for the first half the season, looking forward to the rest! Also starting to doubt that the Demon Lord is Kumoko, but maybe she’s connected to her somehow because of the “mystery lady’s” reflection in the window in that one scene.

Best part of the show.
Agreed, the human parts are actually really interesting and I'm surprised a lot of people don't agree. The way it jumps from Kumoko to the human drama makes it all the more appealing because we don't know when we'll get more plot points and development so when we do it's a joy. That, and the human characters so far have nice build ups and they could definitely have satisfying character arcs with the way things are going.

Can't believe that Kumoko actually managed to defeat Araba, this was definitely the toughest battle! I do wonder why they didn't show up her leveling up and all her skills going up, but anyways it was an amazing episode and it all happened within one episode.

I do wonder about that ending...

Kumoko outsmarted Araba. And she's out of the labyrinth! Excited to see her sunny new spider life. But I'm kinda confused, is she the cyrrent Demon Lord or is she the White Girl or the both of them just fought Earth Dragons before? lol

I dont know that this episode could have ever lived up to my expectations but it was just so... visually messy. And the sound effects were really amateurish. Just not a great job IMO. And boy that speech sure wouldve meant a lot more if they'd actually *showed* how Araba traumatised Kumoko instead of GOD DAMN SKIPPING MOST OF IT. Aoi Yuuki once again hard carrying the whole show

You don't need to read or look for that skill, she specifically mentioned getting it for this specific fight on the last episode, right before Araba shows up at the end. And they make a point of showing his red stamina throughout the fight time and time again, Red Stamina goes down on it's own, Sloth just make it go faster.

Fantastic episode! Araba vs Kumoko was fucking hardcore. I can understand why Kumoko would be upset with Araba, she scratched and clawed her way up from the very bottom. She went through a lot just to survive, so life is a pretty important thing for her, she already died once and she don't wanna die again. Yet, Araba can just die satisfied with no regrets, respect to Araba though, he a real g. Finally our little spooder has reached the outside world. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I fucking love the Demon Lord's design, it's so good.

There's going to be a 1 week break before the next episode, fuck. I really want the next episode n o w, but I guess 2 weeks should be enough time for me to get to the part in the light novel where the anime is at right now, already finished the first volume, so 2 weeks should be enough since I'm a slow reader. Really looking forward to the next episode.

Could actually still be the case, as the teacher said before, some of the reborn people have already died. So, if Kumoko accidentally killed one of the other reincarnated ones, would she notice it? There could only be indications like handling a fight, but without being able to speak with them (we still don't know if she is even able to talk to other species, probably not), she can't distinguish a reborn from a normal person...

Yeah very true, but if they were another reborn, I would have expected a realization on one of their parts and an attempt to communicate like spelling out shit with their magic or such, like using the spikes or flame to spell out some kanji. It's just something I would try if I encountered a monster like me :/

wow , surprisingly i could actually follow the story for once . it was pretty intense i must say , even though it was obvious she was going to win . i kinda wanna google what skills kumo has got , but i fear they might spoil things that she might gain in the future , i really like her demon lord design tho , scary but cute.

still dont know what the fuck is going on the human's world , other than something -something brother of hero somethings.........

You won't get any of it out of the human part, it's just generic harem protagonist being generic harem protagonist. If Kumuko didn't explain skills in her rants, it isn't explained at all.

Episode 11: The shield guy explained the nature of the rot attribute while talking about the rot attack that killed the hero
Episodes 9-10: Two different scenes established the way the hero title works and is transmitted. During the Ronandt point of view you also get a glimpse of how appraisal affects the target (this is subtle, you need to pay attention to get it and it will be probably explained again next episode, judging by the PV)
Episode 7: Shun explains the Emperor skill during his fight with Hugo. Elf Sensei demonstrates her Ruler privilege after Kumoko had failed to activate hers (of course this one is just shown, not literally "explained")
Episode 3: The academy teacher explains how the Magic Perception and Magic Operation skills are necessary to use magic; Kumoko was unable to use magic at that point because she didn't know this (later on episode 8 Kumoko explains how she used Wisdom to bypass those skills).

You'd need to be careful but it's possible. I can copy all the skills names and whatnot you can look it up individually, you can still stumble on spoilers buut it's way less likely, gonna wrap it up in Spoilers so it doesn't get too big.

Kumoko was pissed-off because her greatest arch nemesis finally yielded and accepted defeat! cuz normally you would have pleaded in exchange for your survival...that's why Kumoko was pissed-off. Earth dragon still might be the greatest foe she ever fought with!
