Oh man, I hope they give Olivia more and more screen time like they did this episode. She's popcorn entertainment material and has this little rivalry thing going on with Kizuna.

Seems this anime also loves to showcase Nick's unorthodox skills whenever possible.

The Stepping Man Olivia's escape being uncanny, and upon learning that Reina is the daughter of one of the famous adventurers: Ada the Swashbuckler, formerly of the famous Grandchef party, Zem faces his nightmares of being the same accused pedophile once again, only to be met with relief for Reina's case. But with the way that Stepping Man is now, the Survivors have no chance of winning over Olivia, and Nick requires help from Ada to give them some hard work to deal with the child kidnapper herself.

With her frequent showings every night, the Survivors get one step closer to identifying Olivia's shtick of her operations, and closes any gaps that could give her the lead with the people they met before. But Olivia just insinuating that her identity as Stepping Man isn't the actual child kidnapper, that just raises an even more perplex thought of something sinister.

In the midst of the more pressing issue, Zem already identified the actual Stepping Man, would be interesting how he got to the conclusion of the mysterious identity.

So Olivia isn't stepping man? Or it is her but she's not the kidnapper? Either way, it looks like Zem knows who the person(s) is so I'm curious as to who it is and also how he came to that conclusion.

At least the mom was a total tomboy milf, so at least the episode has that going for it.

This is my #1 under-rated anime of the season. At first it seems like a generic fantasy anime. but the characters, their backstories, developments, and overall undertones are wonderful. This is one of the few anime in recent seasons I always look forward to and gives me that warm fuzzy feeling in my chest I didn't think I'd feel anymore. Every episode just keeps getting better and better. I can see all the undertones that are constantly throughout this series and I very much appreciate it. The ED song is also something that I listen to very frequently. I really hope this gets more seasons because it feels like it's only going to get 12 episodes like most anime nowadays but I ABSOLUTELY watch this for 50+ more. This gives me the same feelings as Dan Machi but on an even more personal level and I absolutely need more of it, it genuinely surprises me more people aren't talking about Ningen Fushin online when it genuinely deserves more attention.

I was a little bit confused at time with knowing who was and was not stepping man haha.
Anyway, felt like an interesting episode for the priest character development and for Nick too, only regret we didn't get to see a little bit more of our main female cast this week (I mean, they were there but didn't do/say much, hope it changes next week).
I imagine the next two episode are going to be full of action, against the real stepping man this time, looking forward to it!

Welp the little girl they saved from last episode, her mother was a famous adventurer. Part of the Grand Chef party. Nick decides to ask for her help in the stepping man case. Zem really just made those statements to lighten the mood but damn he is still hurt by that little girl incident so much that he is wary of every little girl. Nick then gets training from Ada to help catch stepping man.

Welp its not Olivia, well kinda. She was the originally stepping man, the other one kidnapping kids is a another one and at that point I have no idea who it is... That is until Zem said he knows who it is after pointing out that the girls body had traces of that yellows eyes disease. 

Gotta be that doctor, right??

Jokes aside, Olivia is really a fun character.. Hope we get to see more of her in next 2 episodes.. We probably will.. considering she's a vital character in this arc.. 
So the old man the priest is the real SAHTEPINGU MANNU huh.. Would say this.. this is the first and actual interesting arc of this whole show...


Will it have season 2? lol no! 
will anyone remember this anime after it ends? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH no..

a little flashback to Zem's time in prison, a nightmare that keeps tormenting him even in the present time

back to last episode's final scene, when the green haired reported broke the ceiling
the girl's mother is here, she was a famous adventurer, who formed a party with the pro eater guy from some episodes ago
the girl who wanted Zem to be her master now knows that he can't do that, he is afraid of little girls after his past time in jail... but like she said, he managed to get close to her to save her last episode
seems like the mother doesn't want them marrying lmao
she told them they are not strong enough to fight the enemy (not even with fusions? not that she knows), so she will teach them how to win
1st, eating a mushroom soup (duh we can see the mushroom at the top lol Curran), and it's supposed to be pretty expensive... anyway, that soup should help them increase magic power

trying their luck with a lighter, Curran couldn't do it, while Nick did a little flame... now to train for a bit in order to make that flame a lot bigger
jumpin on the rope, he managed to do it 8 times, but at the 9th.... man don't talk about that lols

it's night and a little girl is outside on an errand, oh no
ofc, survivors were waiting for her, with Kizuna kicking her and Curran catching the girl
they looked like they could beat her, but let her escape, baka

wanting to know how the enemy can hide her presence, Nick went to talk with Lion, in exchange for a steamed bun ... and he knew the answer, the Illusion King Gem
to stop that, he needs to call their name with certainty

Nick is now doing the rope jumps but with a lot more difficulty added... and being pushed to the limits reminds him of his young days, training with that big guy

they visited the ugly place from last episode but nothing important was said

next, they were attacked by Olivia, who can do all the trickes that our team does, including Kizuna's kagebunshin
being called out, she confirmed to be Olivia, as baka as always with her words lmao
she is indeed Stepping Man (or she was called that before), but apparently, maybe there's another one
with them seeing her use parallel skill, she wanted to throw Kizuna's skill into an article, who quickly answered with the same threat... so nothing will happen lols
they went to check a corpse and that girl's body had some marks, hidden by the illusion king gem
they know which one of the missing girls she is, so time to give her corpse back to her family... and then stop the true stepping man... someone who works in that ugly place... could it be... the doctor/priest?

I'm gonna finish it because there's only a couple of episodes left, but really the only memorable thing about this show is that bop of an ED.

I came here to say exactly this. I nearly dropped this anime, but last 2-3 episodes were surprisingly enjoyable.

Zem's loli PTSD is so tough huh...

At least he's slowly recovering, I mean...

Hell, they got Tiana in the party, and she could be considered part Loli with her height, LOL.

But I think they're just categorizing the "little girls" by age and not really by height.

___ ___ ___


Nick's a fast learner huh, he's pretty much almost mastered the foot technique.


Also... HOLY FUCK... what is Olivia? not only does she have speed, fast movement, light, but she's also heavy and strong?

Did you see how she bend that metal fence right back?


___ ___ ___


Huh... why do I get a feeling of another "Pedo Priest" incident...

child PTSD not loli PTSD 

awry child isn't a loli, and both girls are children, they look at their age not 5-10 younger, they look 10- and they are 10- 


back then when i watched it i would have said nah i think its something worse then a pedo priest
