| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Welp, this was a cherry peaceful episode for Rio and his adventure. It's too bad they just had to add some drama into the peace and quiet. On the other hand, we got to see a lot of Ruri's personality and he seems like a geninuely kind person willing to help others including Rio. |
 |
| Rio, now donning the signature SAO costume, and wandering off on his own in the Yagumo Region to find his parents. Chancing upon a village, while he did find his grandmother Yuba, his parents unfortunately were already did due to certain reasons that they cannot divulge untiil the time is right. So even Rio's family lineage is a trade secret, what gives though. Ruri and Sayo are in status Rio's sisters, and the extended family is quite the size. The children can also use Spirit Arts, though comparing them to Rio is a hedgefest. It doesn't get long for Rio to get used to the new life, from doing housework to hunting. Welp, even Shin shows favouritism towards his own sister, and Rio is earning harem points being a chad. The internal fight with some hooligans led by Gon, and Shin is more like the weakling acting on instinct. The best that he could do is to protect them, and Rio provides some help knowing trouble will come. Thankfully with the tax collectors, everything is fine. Well, the whole SAO rape scene imitation was condensed to mere coincidences to stop Gon from raping Ruri and Sayo. Justice is served for this lowlife, but Rio will have more moments like this in the future, sharing memories with Haruto. Out of behaviour, but he saved the day. |

| A minute in and two waifus added to his list.. Well they're his cousins but whatever. The head of the village is the grandmother of Rio. That was unexpected but seems like he got some information on his parents. Great news for him. Ruri walked in in a fanservice-way. They're both able to use Spirit Arts but Rio's levels higher than them. His living a new life. Doing taily tasks and stuff like that. Pretty normal life until Gon arrives. And he pretty much deserved to end up like that. SAO.. Also, I noticed that Rio's mother looks the same as the purple-haired spirit. coincidence or not.. |

| As much as I love to praise this episode, I will whine for a bit. How Rio came to the village real quick was boring and there's not even a "this is how Rio traveled scenes" and it skipped it altogether but looking at the Manga (idk about the LN) there's no such thing and I was hoping there were some. While I do adore that the two of them, Grandma and Grandson finally saw each other, there was not much information about his parents given in this episode. There were certain scenes that I really love in the manga AT THIS POINT and each of them are very important piece of information how Rio used his power however the things Rio did here wasn't given much explanation or detail how he did every bit of his action (some of them), which makes this episode a bit frustrating and annoying to watch. If they skipped now how Rio used his skills, they would probably not animate it later but I really like how from the earlier episodes Rio used his skills even if it's slow. Despite that, I am glad that the two girls was saved before being assaulted, that scum needs to be punished! Lastly, there were so many fan service that I doubt I remembered being there but overall, I liked it and hope for the next episode. |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Rio has reached Yanome and he met the elder from the village who was actually his grandmother. Some pretty usual stuff. Rio helping out everyone in the village and impressing girls here and there. Some troublemakers came in and got destroyed by Rio. You don't put hands on a girl around Rio. It was a rather peaceful episode but the ending was a bit dark since Rio couldn't hold his urge to kill him, I guess. |
 |
| I’m so glad Rio finally found some family and a place where he belongs. Ruri and Sayo’s seiyuus are great too. Like the natural tone they had throughout the ep. Bit tired of the sexual assault trope being used as a device to make you dislike characters, but I’m glad Rio was able to stop Gon before he did anything. |

Like what, feel free to spoiler tag it. In the show we saw hot water and a bath being made, assuming it's a one cour anime things will inevitably get cut, would you have opted for something else to be shown? |
 |
| At least this time he met some members of his family (grandma and cousin)... of course he has a new girl that fell in love with him, these rapist guys were so annoying, the punches are well deserved lol. |
 |
| A bit too much power fantasy wish fulfillment this episode, I hope they'll turn that down a notch by next episode. |
| the Rio guy seems just too perfect in every aspect. this type of protagonist is just less and less relate-able as the story goes on. I'd rather Rio killed the assaulter guy or at least seriously and permanently incapacitated him. I mean give the protagonist some genuine dark side or whatever. who needs this always so perfect shujinko that even can't snap and go on a rampage properly |
| Am I a good person? No. But do I try to be better every single day? Also no |
| Who does Ruri's voice actor? |
 |
| Take a shot of vodka every time Ruri's VA voice cracks |
 |
| It's nice to hear that Rio still has some relatives and met them personally. Gon really deserved that beating from Rio, he's really a perverted scumbag. At the end of the day, Rio's harem got larger again hahaha π |
 |
| I am surprised that after 7 episodes, he has found the place his parents came from and found actual relatives that are alive and well. I wonder if now it's just going to be a case of staying in the village till grandma decides it's time to tell him what he needs to know. (I can feel a time skip coming next episode) Two new additions to the harem, Ruri and Sayo. Gotta say though, Ruri has a surprisingly nice voice. It really felt different and I've not heard this voice before, so I was pretty surprised to hear it. I love how Rio just casually made a bath house with spirit arts. That's quite the flex. So glad Rio punched that dude's face in. I did crack up when the guy tried to tackle Rio but he fell down to the ground himself. He had it coming, utter scum. |
 |
| Those guys were creepy. Hopefully they won't come back but it was expected seeing rio beat him up |

While I do appreciate your sentiment, I didn't spoil anything, I only said it in a general way without giving any specifics. If you can read it right, you can only discuss the manga only at this point of the episode and not beyond it. P.S. I didn't mean the hot bath or the story beyond this episode and not the whole Manga lol π π and it may be my fault for not wording my messages right and you may simply be confused of what I really wanted to say, my bad. π ππ I already updated it. |

| WHO IS FUCKING RURI'S VOICE ACTOR? |
|
| Actually a really good episode. Ruri had to learn the hard way to make sure she's dressed appropriatly now lol. Damn rape vibes halfway though the episode. Thank god for the GOAT RIO!!! Yagumo village is nice. Although in typical anime fashion...Grandma can't tell Rio why his parents had to leave and she will probably tell him when he leaves the village or when she is on her death bed.

| Is it just me or was this like an incredible ep????? The plot and arc throughout were really engaging and so were all the new characters, there was some great story and character development, the voice acting seemed extra good this ep too - especially Ruri, and I also thought the dialogue seemed really solid. I felt like this went against a ton of tropes as well, I kept seeing scenes and thinking "oh I've seen this a million times before" but every time it defied my expectations in the best way possible. Very impressed with this episode. |
 |
| It took me a while to figure out but the seiyuu of. Yuba-bachan is Ohara Sayaka same VA of Ezra Scarlet. That's why her voice has been on my mind the whole time. Interesting episode and look forward to the next. |
| What an episode! Glad he found his grandma and she's the head chief lmao I guess we finally found Ayase, but as with the previous time, this will take a while to reveal. When Rio gave them the amulet it was obvious what was coming, what a great ending to that scene! Overall Rio's a badass, he built a freaking bath man! Can't wait for the next episode! |

| Animation was shit. What's up with everyone facials structure in this episode? It also cringy and just pissed you off at times seeing any dude who isn’t the main character is automatically designed to be an asshole. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| Pretty good episode! I really like Rio as a protagonist, what a chad and he takes no shit from anyone. Benefits of having an op protagonist. Rio tripping that rapist fucker was hilarious. The Grandma and the village must have not known about Rio, cause it's weird that they didn't come looking for him when his parents died. We've only met Ruri this episode but definitely love her a lot already especially her voice. So seeing that asshole rapist get beat up was euphoric. Also nice that that tax collector man was a nice dude, hope that dude stays in prison. A shame Rio's leaving behind all these waifus, though if one leaves, multiple more will take it's place like a hydra lmao. Rio making girls wet left and right, Jesus. Looking forward to the next episode. |
