Ooh, we're getting some focus on Atla and Fohl. Both characters were advertised in the OP song, promos, etc so it's not surprising to see him. More importantly, there's also the focus on the slave market and Naofumi getting involved with them. Atla also seemed to need help because of her health condition.

This episode didn't do anything too crazy but definitely adds more variety to the expanding roster. Plus, both of them could be valuable allies for Naofumi's party.

I appreciate how this episode mainly focused on showcasing some of the new cast a lot. Fohl peaks my interest for now.

Upon safely returning the villagers to their village, Naofumi explores the offerings of the Zeltoble. There, he encounters a gravely ill demi-human and her brother. There he is begged by Fohl, a demi-human slave, to save his sick sister. He decides to purchase the two slaves, known as Fohl and Atla, with the intention of treating Atla's illness. As time passes, Atla's seemingly incurable illness gradually recedes. Both Fohl and Atla express their unwavering loyalty to Naofumi.

Given Trash's reaction to Atla and Fohl, it seems there might be some family ties. I'm not particularly invested in his remorseful backstory regarding what he did to Naofumi, but I am curious about their connection. I'm relieved Fohl and Atla managed to escape that awful place. The slaver guy gives me the creeps.

Sure, he might technically be a "friend," but I wouldn't trust that shady character one bit.

Was it explained in the LN how the potion is made? It seems expensive.

This has been really good so far! It's like the meme with the horse drawing but only the middle part (season 2) is unfinished.

That was heartwarming, I'm glad the tiger siblings are doing well now. Specially the sister, glad she recovered. Also they are related to the former king? His sisters kids perhaps? Btw liked how he made slaves out of the guys trying to make slaves of those children, serves em right.

Shield Hero continues to give huge amounts of money to slavers making them more powerful.
His town gets attacked by weak slavers who know at best they'd be tracked down and killed, because that is what people do in really stupid shows.
Signal flare is hidden away making it inconvenient as possible to use... because that makes sense in really stupid shows.
Literally every scene in this series is dumb.

Okay, we got a full introduction to the tiger twins, and a wholesome moment with Atla's physical therapy. Scumbag nobles thought they could get away with stealing Naofumi's slaves, but now they are the slaves. Good to see Eclair and the Kung Fu Grandma again.
Not sure about stuffing so much of Trash King's backstory into just two minutes, but there's no time to think about that. The Three Cardinal Princesses need rescuing again.

Beyond the lights and fame is always suffering for the minority. A white tiger though is a pretty rare race. It was such joy seeing the slaves return to their village. Sadeena sure adds a nice contrast to the village and the bond between him and Raphtalia. Gotta say the area around the village really was pretty and served as an effective stage that showed Atla's determination to rebuild her life. Its unfortunate but the raid showed well just how vulnerble the village is without Naofumi around. The slavers being enslaved though sure was poetic justice. The insight into staff hero was pretty interesting. Would be nice to see him join the narrative in some fashion.

I love this episode. 😀
The Tiger siblings moments were so nice and calm. 😀
Naofumi is such an amazing guy and I love Sadeena a lot especially her flirting side but Raphtalia is always my Raccoon Megami. 😄

This adaptation is so trash and full of plot holes!!

- Fohl is high level and strong Colisseum fighter, worth 120 gold coins. 10 minutes later gets captured by a random slaver.
- Anime Naofumi is stupid. He leaves the village unguarded. He doesn't need a full party to negotiate a trade route, he can do it on his own...
- LN Naofumi is smart. He started leveling up the kids the moment he bought them. They were so strong they could beat the slavers from the anime and capture them on their own without help.

The studio is doing everything it can to not develop the side characters and minimize the world building...

I'm glad that Naofumi went out of his way to purchase both Fohl and Atla. The fact that he used an expensive looking elixer of Yggdrasil on her shows how he's willing to help her recover and he takes the pair, along with the other former slaves, back to his village.

Sadly, while his group was away, a bunch of slavers hell bent on causing trouble by damaging houses and capturing the former slaves, ready to sell them off again for an easy profit. It was a good thing that Naofumi taught Fohl about the hidden flare, which he used in time. Naofumi's group got back quickly and dished out a quick thrashing on the slavers. I enjoyed how he gloated at the leader, saying he and his cronies will get the taste of their own by being sold on as slaves themselves. A fitting punishment in this case! XD

The Staff Hero having some sort of a connection to both Fohl and Atla was interesting, though. Hopefully that connection will be explored further upon soon, but for now, it's time to rescue the Spear Hero in the next episode.

I still don't get why there are dumb people who will attack the village of a hero, not just any hero though but the shield hero.

I'm guessing Fohl and Atla are related to trash, maybe his sister's kids? That's the only thing I can infer based on what Atla and the queen said.

Fohl and Atla join the squad! We saw a glimpse of Fohl previous episode but now Naofumi has bought him and his sister Atla to bring back to their village. A very sweet scene of Naofumi going back to Atla and giving her that potion to save her life. A few doses and she's completely better besides her already blindness. Fohl really cares for his sister asking Naofumi to save her too and then helping her rehabilitation after receiving the potion. Once back in the village we really see Fohl and Atla finally being happy for the first time in a long time. Naofumi had given them a second chance at life here. The scene in the flower meadow of Atla standing on her own was so heartwarming. Which makes it all the more painful seeing the village get attacked again, these scumbags just won't stop trying to take people from the shield hero village. Fohl did a great job sending that flair up to signal Naofumi about the attack. Dispatching those slavers very easily and giving them some karmic justice by selling them as slaves. That ended up helping out the dire financial situation the village was in with the influx of people inevitably costing more to maintain. Heading to the palace to hear that the spear hero of all people has finally been found.

@Sokah Bro thank you I was wondering the same thing... he wants to help out the slaves. fine. Then do something about the slave institution instead of "buying them out" and leaving it in tact. Of course they're going to come back to capture more slaves? wtf?

Also does this mean that if they waited for like an extra day or so for the shield hero to be far away, they would've captured the town? How were they not captured before?

As for the flare, why was fohl, someone who literally just got there, the only one who knew about the very important emergency flare?

Did they really leave the village unguarded? At least leave kung-fu granny taking care of the kids ffs.
And wasn't Fohl a high-level fighter? Funny how he got overpowered by the most generic slaver ever.

I hated the king in the beginning of the series, but I confess that now I'm trying to see a good side of him, specially after when they showed us that he wasn't evil by himself in season one.

It looks like we are going to some kind of redemption arc for him and the other three heroes and I'm aprecciating it.

ikr, i was thinking the same thing like why do you need everyone of your team members when you're just going to trade. he could have just left Kung-fu granny and Killer whale lady to protect the village 🗿

This sucked hard, the little invasion to their town was better in the manga, there the kids beated the bandits totally by themselves, it was badass, and it happend before the siblings were introduced.

Poor Atlas, she had it really rough, and she is soo cute, kinda freaks me out that in the web novel Naofumi fucks her lmao but it's better to not talk about that shit.
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~
