This could've been Clay's day off with some relaxation but nope, she had to get voices in his head.

Still interesting to see Clay's past and her father though. Doesn't seem like anything too out of the ordinary.

Binky was a cute kitty. :3

"Still, to think that goblins grow from seeds..."

I know, Clay. I'm as confused as you are, lol.

Two more episodes left. I hope Clay will be able to solve the mystery about her father.

Waiter: How would you like your Goblin?
Goblin Slayer: Raw
Belle: Plant-based

Now let's talk about the serious part, I think the wind-slicer is Clay's biological's father. I assume he took Clay to the dungeon even before she can remember.

Well that was an unusual way to make goblins I feel just as confused as Clay. Binky was adorable I hope we see her again.

Bathe in sorrow, my tomorrow is built upon your flesh!

We're slowly being fed the lore on Clay and her dad. I wouldn't be surprised if the name Wind Slicer was referring to her actual dad who died, rather than the adoptive dad she's been looking for this whole time. We also get a glimpse of plant based goblin reproduction. But Lanky and his crew talked about breeding with Clay and they revive with gems, so they must be the old species of goblin.

Next week... Gothic Lolita Belle.

I like a lot the way this show raises questions about the plot and the world, so even Belle has a lot she is not capable of, two more episodes and there is still so much to know about Clay, her dad, her biological parents, Belle's past, the predecessor and what even the dungeon.

Another episode with my dear Belle...!! ๐Ÿฅฐ
Still, they gave us a lack of adorable faces of pouts from Belle, kind of a letdown.

Heheheh, another lovely face of Clay... ๐Ÿฅฐ

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.

It makes me wonder if the Wind Slices is actually not Clay's dad but Belle's instead. (she had to come from somewhere too...)

But then again, it was implied she never sleeps which is definitely abnormal.

What a mystery with the nickname of the knife thrower! If it doesn’t match Clay’s adoptive father, it might be someone close to her instead. Poor monsters were threatened by Belle to stay away from Clay, though some of them are actually quite adorable. And that goblin reproduction system—what on earth? It's one of the weirdest things I've seen, but I have to admit, it's quite efficient. Belle’s master must be really intelligent, and it’s intriguing to see that, just like Clay with her father, Belle also struggles to measure up to her own.

It was an interesting enough episode.
We got to learn a few things more about how the dungeon works.

I have ADD, ADHD & AUTISM, but this won't stop me. Let's keep having fun together.

An abandoned child growing up with her adoptive father, yup, that's Clay in a nutshell.

With Clay lately not getting good nights' sleep and Belle feeling comfortable since the entire dungeon is her house to begin with, she's been raised at home quite fondly until her arrival. But still being on the same topic, Clay overthinking about how Belle just feels right at home while she is out and about, it's clear that Clay still needs to venture to the outside world more, work or otherwise, with Belle giving her a paid day off for her efforts thus far. With Clay just wanting to work until she feels satisfied matching her pay with it, Belle forcing her to take a paid leave is pretty much needed, though the latter's warning sure pushed the dungeon's monsters against her trail trying to talk to her, about being the wind slicer's daughter.

Clay asking Binky for that same exact reason, even Pekkomo feels the same, but their knowledge on the wind slicer is so in-depth because of his ability to use martial arts so much so that they could not defeat him if they tried, even when he threw knives, which is the bit that doesn't add up, but shows his conviction through and through. Onto the goblin village, however, Clay's perceptions of the creatures...by harvesting young ones like growing flowers and giving them nutrients from the Earth spirit, this is essentially their backup plan when the isual rape-and-impregnate plan did not work. It's a humane way to grow goblins by the leaflets, though that's one trait which is only special for Belle's dungeon home.

Plant-based goblins, that's uncommon, but OK...?

Hmm very good episode.

Binky is a cute kitty indeed.

Goblins from seeds, that's great!

Let's see what happens next...
I need somebody who can love me at my worst
No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth
'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first
And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst

If you stay forever, let me hold your hand
I can fill those places in your heart no else can
Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah
I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim

Trying to catch up on this show so just getting to Ep10 now, but as soon as i heard the Treant say “matane” at around 12:42 i immediately thought i recognized the voice as belonging to a certain gamer doggo ๐Ÿฅ Couldn’t find any info online (in En anyway ๐Ÿ˜…), so just throwing the possibility out there in case anyone heard anything. Not a big deal either way, just curious ๐Ÿ˜Š

The season left unanswered (among others) a question of who or what Belle is, and after re-watching I think this episode might have the best available hints.

Clay asks Belle is she was raised in the dungeon, to which she answers "yes, although in ๅˆๆœŸๅŒบๅŸŸ". Clay doesn't seem to pick up on that detail, and English subs translate it as "early years". But ๅˆๆœŸๅŒบๅŸŸ is how earlier in ep 8 Belle called that modern-looking section with metal floors where spirits and dungeon core are:

Combine this with Belle possibly never sleeping(?)..
And then with programming jargon used in crystal commands for cloning bodies and replacing floors..

Very interesting.
