| Damn, getting crushed by a giant thumb looked painful. Akira getting more screen time again is great. Haga and his party also got some time to relax in the baths. Nikola woke up and made a hell of an impression. |
 |
| R.I.P Gaydle. That kiss scene was so retarded and unnecessary, but oh well. I'm glad they finally got to spend some wholesome together time after all the dramatic moments. Nikola Tesla? Hmm, interesting name. |

| Sad to see Gaydle get killed like that. It was really nice seeing Haga and everyone getting to relax together. |
| Well that mini arc was a downer, I'm glad Nikola is fine again. |
| Akane is finally here! I love that furball. |
| r34 will go wild after this ep... |
| bruh |
hikikodokumori said: Why are these people so emotional over a couple of pixels on screen. Especially Haga, literally crying over Gaydle as if he's human and not a piece of data. If you're in a fully immersive deep dive virtual reality situation, you've been in there for what in your counting or perception of time at least seems like months or a year or more, and what's more, the situation, this environment, and your existence in it is becoming more "real" because you can't leave and don't know if you'll be stuck here for months or years more or forever, then I imagine it's a lot easier to get attached than just watching a video game character through a TV or computer screen in your living room at home. rangedsp said: I like how the MC isn't an all powerful morally righteous chad. His insistence on "doing things the right way" meant it led to a whole village of NPCs getting massacred. Not sure if that's the intention by the creators, but calling out indecisiveness as being culpable is quite fresh, at least in your average isekais Wouldn't the mass giant attack which happened right before they fled the village still have occurred? It doesn't look like the average townspeople and whatever fighting forces they had left could have a hope of defeating that many giants at once. Or if you mean due to Gaydle earlier killing those other warriors which were important to defense of the village, that seems like something which would have happened even if Haga and co. never showed up there. |
| I...need some time to think about this. Gaydle died (RIP) and then the ending left me with such a confused look on my face like getting walked into in the bathroom; it was surely the strangest episode yet. That kiss too..was...gross. honestly this whole episode left me feeling like I need a bath to recover. |

| This episode gave us absolutely everything. When push comes to shove, you do what you must, I can't blame Akira for her decision. Kissing as stress relief, whatever works I guess. At least someone is controlling Nikola's body after a month. |

I don't like when things leave unfinished. It's very unlikely that we'll ever return to the giant-attacked village again, at least in the anime adaptation.
| @phantomfandom What do you mean? It's finished, the village is destroyed by giants, the villagers and Gaydle are dead, and the debugger is stuck with no way to return to his material body. There's literally nothing left to do, unless you meant debugging stuff, not the NPCs. |
 |
| What a tragic end for that village. Akira and Haga's ideological clash coming to a head there was rough. I'm glad they were able to brush it off for now at least. The revelation of another meta ai is wild. I hope there being multiple of them with their own personalities and motivations isn't what's causing some of the bugs. |

| With the discovery of Yamanaka, it's more bugs needed to be reported, but Gaydle is now clearly gone out of control. Haga convincing Gaydle that everything dealt to him from Yamanaka is a nightmare, but Akira having to enter debug mode and execute the kill command against an NPC, this is not a good time to be fighting amongst each other being different in their ideologies. Survival is important, and the group may have got out unscathed, but it's clear that their past mistakes doesn't benefit anything good out of it, much less Nikola still being unconscious. The expedition to the Principality of Sai, which is only supposed to take days that turned into a month feeding Nikola, seeing a city...and a giant thumb crushing people being from Akira's magic spell, she doesn't like to dilly-dally around, reaching back home seeing both Ren Mizoguchi (with that kinda gross French kiss as stress relief) and Akane Miyazaki being fellow debuggers, overjoyed that people like them have survived. One thing's for sure, their "ancient rurals" of hugging and kissing aside, a bowl of penned thoughts to be submitted and processed for allaying fear, that works too. Even the baths are co-ed which scares the heck out of both Haga and Amano, and with Alba walking in unannounced, the kid leader commands a presence that feels his authority as king, and someone that would help Nikola awake from her coma...until Tesla took her body and revealed that like her, both she and Alba...are meta AIs? Surely, having meta AIs does keep the big picture in check, what else do they have to do in this fantasy world? |

| Its kind of strange to me that they are always try to save NPC's but didnt try to save Yamanaka who is a real person. Not only that Akira actually killed a real person before without knowing what is happening when you die in game. Like where is the line for characters? |
| This anime started strong, but is getting worse by the episode. For example, I don't get why Akira used the kill command. I thought the reason she wanted to kill Gaydle (Godel) was him being a threat to the village and without using Debug Mode there was no other option. But if using Debug Mode is not a concern for her, why not just revert Yamanaka's changes? There is no indication that she can't do that or that it would have side-effects. She could have another reason to kill him, but it's not stated. But my biggest complaint is that the world mostly doesn't feel like a game anymore. I mean the fact that it's game is no longer integral to the plot and it makes the story less unique for it. Would it make a difference if Yamanaka cast on Gaydle a dark spell that made him stronger but also cursed himself, and Gaydle was taking care of him, yet when he returned to ask Yamanaka to revert the spell he found out that the curse had claimed him? I would argue it would even make it better! My point is that the game world is not utilised very well and I hope that improves in the final 2 episodes. |
| So anticlimactic. Akira and Haga were about to have a brawl, but then entire freaking month passes and they're just goofing around like nothing... So Akira also assumes that NPCs are just NPCs, thus they're expendable. So we meet the second major AI. |
gorkthe134th said: This anime started strong, but is getting worse by the episode. Have to agree there, unfortunately. gorkthe134th said: For example, I don't get why Akira used the kill command. I thought the reason she wanted to kill Gaydle (Godel) was him being a threat to the village and without using Debug Mode there was no other option. But if using Debug Mode is not a concern for her, why not just revert Yamanaka's changes? She said she did it because their lives (debuggers) were at risk and she wasn't planning on giving another chance to some NPC. She doesn't value lives of NPCs at all so she's basically an ass who doesn't believe in NPCs having consciousness and the ability to change. Even though that's literally what happened there. For now we don't see her abusing NPCs, but she's not that different from other asshole debuggers we've seen before. gorkthe134th said: Someone in previous episode discussion said that isn't so easy to do. Don't know where's the evidence to support that claim though. Anyways, I hate her quite a lot now. She kills Gaydle and then they just leave the village to be destroyed (because again "it's just npcs" so who gives a fuck if they all get massacred). If she didn't kill him, he would likely fight and stop the giants, thus save the village. Basically it's her fault the village was destroyed. But if using Debug Mode is not a concern for her, why not just revert Yamanaka's changes? gorkthe134th said: Have the same feeling too. It's an insanely boring world too. Now I'm just wondering how this season will end.But my biggest complaint is that the world mostly doesn't feel like a game anymore. |
Sigmar-Unberogen said: So Akira also assumes that NPCs are just NPCs, thus they're expendable. She seems to have that attitude toward people (at least most people) in general. She killed the boss of Amano's former group, bisecting him in half without a second thought from behind. Yes, he was an asshole, but wasn't actively a threat to her or threatening or harming anyone else in that moment and him and Amano seemed to be calmly talking semi-amicably, working out a potentially mutually beneficial deal for the both of them going forward. She pulled a knife on Haga over an ideological disagreement and seemed to express willingness to attack and injure or kill him based on it, at the drop of a hat. I don't really "get" the character dynamics at play with some of the main characters, to be frank. One second one pulls a blade on and threatens you over an argument and the next there is a month time skip and it shows them traveling as usual, palling around as if nothing happened. I could say that it's a problem of Akira and/or Haga specifically and is an example of poor character writing, which is true, but it's moreso an example of a general problem I have with the execution of this series, where things, including major events, are seemingly glossed over and rushed past, never really capitalized on or utilized for their full potential in the story or explored in an interesting way, before it's on to the next thing. I just think that the series has a great premise - one which is nothing new and has been done before in different forms, but which keeps being done and is popular because it's simple yet fascinating - being stuck in a video game; having your consciousness trapped in a virtual world. But the actual execution makes it less interesting than it otherwise could be and lowers the impact a lot. Leaving my favorite things about this series just the premise in and of itself and a colorful art style. |

| Regarding Yamanaka: unfortunately his fate was sealed the moment he decided to enter free cam. He can't be saved because Haga already explained that debuggers can only use their own assigned stone tablets, other players can't pick them up and use their functions. Regarding Akira: the series has been dropping a few explicit hints about her real mental state. If they make a second season you'll see quite a few surprises concerning her. Regarding what's to come story-wise: to me this (the arrival to Sai) is where the series starts getting increasingly interesting. |
| Woooo Sugita and Matsuoka are here also. |
| Typical fan-service |
 |
| the heck, I hate MC like this, you're in a literal virtual game and refuse to use a neccessary precaution even if your life on the line is a joke. |
