If anything, this kidnapping worked out in everyone's favor, not just the Haulia tribe and Hajime's group. Lily doesn't have to marry that prick, and from what Gahard said, the entire family wasn't even ready apparently for the said marriage, so all's well that ends well. Was sweet to see the all the rabbits from the tribe reunite once again.

Do have to feel bad for Gahard though. Poor guy got kidnapped, roasted throughout the entire kidnapping by Hajime, just to end up being thrown back to the empire... xD Was nice to learn a bit more about Shea and her past, specifically about her mom an d how she's in the tree and such. Never thought I'd say this, but fuck with both the OST and Hajime saying his thanks to her mom, almost shed a tear ngl... I think if they added some flashbacks in there I would've actually cried lmao.

Yeah though, Shea stay best girl. "When will you fall in love with me." LOL. Just fold already Hajime. Was the lap pillow NOT enough???

The scene with Shea was so cute, I was hoping she'd steal a kiss or something, but a lap pillow is fine too.

After credits scene caught me off guard. dunno what that's about.

Locks like Shea's status promotion is confirmed, but not all the way to 'wife'.

"Nobody is interested in hearing me talk. Or in me in general. What even is princess?"

Is elf princess Altina going to be a significant character?

Cam not yet trusting enough to ally his security to any other tribe. Detriments ass well as benefits there.

A larger party going into the labyrinth. Are any of the side characters going to be expended by the story?

From the post credits, I am guessing that this labyrinth has an illusion or dream component.

I never thought the day would come when I would cry watching Arifureta, Thank you so much Shea for turning that horrible anime that I dropped at the first episode into something I have a lot of fun watching.

Shea’s and Hajime’s tender moment was so well done. Yue throwing her weight around keeping the girls home to ensure said tender moment was nice. I’m happy to see the Haulia’s getting some much deserved recognition/respect is welcome. They’ve been shunned for far too long by those arrogant beastmen. Now that they’re strong everyone will fear and respect them, it’s about time. That ending scene threw me for a loop. Is it a dream? The future? An illusion? We should soon find out, I hope.

Ahhh this was actually one of the best Arifureta episodes ever. Shea, I love you so much you deserve the world. I used to hate how mean Hajime was to her but this season and this episode in particular he finally vocalised how important Shea is to him and to the team.

He had to throw his little usual shade in there with the “even if it were the two of us[he and Yue], we could’ve overcome our obstacles” but he still admitted how much she’s brought color to and made their journey fun. Such a beautiful moment with him thanking her mom for giving birth to Shea and the lap pillow to top it off! 10/10 episode enjoyed every second of it.

This next arc looks like it’s gonna be dope. We’re gonna see some of Hajime home life and the girls in school girl outfit? Sign me up.

Poor Garhad dragged all the way and then got kicked out for no reason. He spoke facts when he said Haulia earned that respect which other tribes didn't. Liliana giving Kaori serious competition in how to be annoying, she also should have been thrown out.

Cam is crazy as ever. This guys kicked them and let them fend for themselves while Empire executed them. He had every right to be angry. He needs to prioritise themselves first.

Scary, she ain't letting anyone third wheel Shea this time.

Hajime paid homage to Shea's mother by thanking her and appreciating how helpful Shea is been to him. Glad to see her so happy.
"The one who gave colour to me and Yue's journey,heart and life is without a doubt your daughter"
She got some love from Hajime as she deserved. 2nd best girl now overtaking Tio (Nobody overtaking Yue tho). As he said her happy go lucky smile always a pleasure.And atleast a lap pillow reward for both.Idk why a song started playing plain bgm would have been better. Nonetheless very good scene.

Hajime started double wielding officially now ig?

Welcome to the club_ Rudeus

Last scene was really intresting is this dream/future or effect of Labyrinth, anyway Yue looks cute as ever.

Gahard was in high spirits considering the situation he was in.
Thankfully Liliana is free again.
Good to see so many loved ones being reunite.
Kaori has some great powers.
The meeting was an interesting one, I like the part where Hajime sent Gahard away.
The Haulias will continue to do things their way.
These moments betwwwen Hajime & Shea were really good.

Uhh, Altina is supposed to be a larger part of the later Haulia stories. But I’m not sure how they’re planning on doing that considering how they introduced her so normally (which wasn’t supposed to be the case)

In case anyone is interested:

Yes, the daughter Gahard talked about will become part of the story. But that is much much later. Her name is Tracy and she’s an absolute riot

Even though Garhad is a scoundrel, I agree—the Haulia are the only beast-men tribe worthy of respect. Plus, it feels like Cam is one of the few characters outside Hajime’s waifus circle that he genuinely appreciates or respects.

Yue was brilliant in reading the situation and made sure no one interrupted Shea and Hajime's moment. I think it’s finally time Shea becomes the second official girl—she's earned it, and more 😏 (if you know what I mean).

As for that last scene—maybe it's some kind of hallucination they’ll experience upon entering the new labyrinth.

The after-credits scene surprised me, and I’m not sure what to make of it yet. I enjoyed this episode, though it was pretty average. Shea has had some character growth, and the anime showed it decently.

Now, we move on to the labyrinth dive. Many will pass, but more will fail. Let's see how much we get next episode. It could be interesting and somewhat enjoyable.

@Marinate1016 well Shea never gonna reach Yue level. But she is highest in pecking order. And three of them likes each other without being jealous and meddling unlike others(Kaori..).

And with that, Shea arc comes to an end.

I hope to see more of princess lily, she was a very enjoyable watch.

Not going to lie but I somewhat expected Hajime and Shea to do it in front of her moms grave. But what we actually got was pretty sweet and wholesome.

The after credits scene was hype with Yue and the MC going into some sort of illusion labyrinth.

I'm really dumbfounded how Shea came to have so much affinity for Hajime for just a short time.
She's becoming more of a beroine... In all kinds of ways.
Well, Yue was first, then Kaori's obstacles, then Shea for this conclusion... Who's next? Tio? Hmm.

P.S. That end bit made another creepy concept. lmao 😅

Anyway, I don't know why, but I'm fond of Princess Lilianna's character.

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.

Shea's father has become a great leader. The beastmen will be fine with him at the top. He also made clear where his real allegiance lie. Sweet moment with Shea. I thought they were gonna do it, the mood seemed right. Maybe offscreened? Post ED scene was prolly an illusion/dream from the tree they were entering.

With the Haulia Tribe having earned their independence, they can only go far as outside of the Haltina Sea of Trees, where Verbergen, the nation of beastmen, is located within.

With Emperor Gahard being held hostage, Hajime is in no need for Lily, and all he wants is just the harem family he can protect. The first order of business to send all of the rabbit beastmen back to Haltina and have Kaori restore the forest in order, as well as establish the orders of the New Haulia Tribe altogether. As expected, Hajime only sees the need for Gahard to send him back to his Empire only when he sees fit, and apart from Hajime's repayment to see Altina, the Haulia Tribe is reinstated into the Council of Elders with Cam at the helm, but of course, Cam would draw the line against their own brethren having already proved themselves.

Cam calling for Hajime to see Shea grieving at her mother's resting place of a tree, it definitely chops a fair few onions knowing that Shea's birth wasn't a mistake, leading to Hajime's adventures with her, and while love is defintely not on the cards, a lap pillow is certainly the best that he could ask of her.

It's time yet again to confront another Great Labyrinth...

Defintely the best episode of the series to date, look how Shea has grown.
But what is the post-credits scene with Hajime back in his world...with Yue?

Behold a new goddess is born.

Shea's father rocked, breast council shocked.

We even got a emotional moment of Shea and about her mother being berried. Hajime really do care of her and Yue more than other girls I suppose.

And what I can understand from post credits, maybe its a foreshadow of when he returns back with Yue to earth, could be that his harem's also back, but it's for the upcoming future cause it won't be happening in this season for sure.
