| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ah, Kumoko isn't used to getting popular or even being worshipped. Looks like we got some more look into the elf village and Shun's friends. I mean, the episode itself explores both Kumoko and the humans' side so it's kinda balanced. Filimos is such an underrated character though. I'm just glad she got more screen time this episode. |
 |
| Good episode. Once again the human side gets more interesting. |
 |
| LOLS the Divine Beast Kumoko is worshipped throughout the town. Blessings, merch, even art drawings, you name it, Kumoko's a god to them. That's pretty funny. As expected, Shun and the others descending into the elf village, and hostility at the heavy against humans. Thank Oka-sensei (a.k.a Filimos) with her relations as daughter to the chief Potimas, but there's more secrets to what meets the eye in the village itself. One thing's for sure: the (almost) entire reincarnated class reunion, this is one through many loops and circumstances that trust is slightly blight. Back to Sophia, Potimas rescinding that Kumoko was sent by the Demon Lord Ariel to protect her, that's a clue to add into the reincarnation topic. Kumoko's uneasiness may have narrowingly cost her very life by transporting back to the Elroe Labyrinth, and other than playing the usual censoring cliché and subserviant jokes, the Parallel Minds skill has constantly helped out a lot, and in this case, A LOT by sucking in Mother's properties. The understanding is becoming more closer, and for that, the journey to make it far as this is becoming worthwhile. The future confrontation with Ariel will prove deadly for all. |
 |
| So Kumoko is really praised everywhere now, most famous spider ever xD So now most of the reincarnated students are reunited but that's quite tense for the relationship with the sensei... Kumoko against mother was pretty since the parallel mind absorbed most of her skill points, so she finally beat her xD But seems like Ariel is coming soon for her, I can't wait |
 |
| Lol knew it, Kumoko's their idol now. Good to see the reincarnations finally meeting the other reincarnations. |
 |
| That fucking spider squeak lmao. Never thought I'd say a spider sound was cute before, but that certainly was lol. |
| Another great episode this time with Kumoko murdering her own parent |
| Kumoko is being treated like a goddess. No wonder why. But, since she's a loner she has never experience something like this. Funny to see her like that. All the reincarnations have been reunited. Potimas is alive as well and he went to meet the mythical beast. That Ariel? Detergent? pun was funny. LMAO. Kumoko has defeated mother as well. Great job Kumoko's three halves. |
 |
| Welp, there is an actual Detergent brand in Japan called Ariel. |
| I just want to know right know .. someone spoil me ... all the "NPC" reincarnations, they all gonna die right ? |

svet said: i swear whoever directs the anime must have a grudge against spiders. Another one of the spider side's fight got butchered to just a single breath attack LMFAO. I am referring to Yeah that part was very cringe, good to know it actually didn't happen like that. svet said: wonder how Kumoko will avoid annihilation this time? The same way she did up till now, she will use her im a main character powers. |

Nayrahsetkum said: Wasnt mother's death kinda anti-climatic! At least it was a big battle in Manga. And was that a dragon at the last minute? Its supposed to be anti climatic, the whole fight is only 8 pages in the Ln. The Manga unnecessarily drew it out |
| (Spoiler - About Potimas, guessable) The other reincarnators appear and properly blame Oka-sensei. Clearly, elves are criminals that kidnap babies. Sadly no one on the forum visited the thought that Sophia might not be a villain despite being all Sophia is a villain back when Shun was escaping the capital. Once again, Shun shows he's unfit to be a hero. The reincarnators blatantly said "we were kidnapped (by the elves)" and it goes right over Shun's head as he worries about his friend. Learn to be a FUCKING hero! There's clearly a race of evil "demons" (elves) right in front of you so DO NOT side with them-FFS. Kumoko VS Mother- I feel like the WN's descriptions were better than the visuals. Edit: Added a spoiler tag I didn't feel necessary when I was using preview. |

TweedleDane said: Fuck me . like we didnt have enough characters to care about and remember until now , they just go ahead and add a bunch of new fellers . imma need to keep sticky notes on who is who from now on........ Potimas said: Looks like you need a spreadsheet."There are several ways to avoid death." Don't forget to include people who have already died. |

| Did feel the human-side this episode was starting to drag a bit. But they did make a clear point for the humans we've known until now. Sensei's secrecy to them is really going to bite her in the ass , and she's likely been involved in some questionable stuff. Even if she was pretty forced into it due to being the Elf Chief's daughter, continuing to treat her students as children even though they've all lived a second life by now was poor judgement and rather disrespectful. Really loved the opening scene and how Kumoko was suffering the reality of an introvert suddenly being thrust into the limelight. While it was amazing to see Kumoko being given a huge poweer bosost, it does feel like the Mother fight was cut a bit short and ended up rather anti-climactic, especially since she was still showing herself to be a huge threat despite being 70% weakened. Doesn't feel like they've timed these episodes well when we have important human timeline moments that need fleshing out properly, followed immediately by an important Kumoko boss battle :( Looking forward to seeing how long Kumoko stays on the run from Ariel before confrronting her. Godspeed Body-brain. They may not return as we know them, but guessing their hidden soul attack will help in the long run. |
 |
| Kumoko merch? give me the damn addres! She's one hell of a popular divine beast now. Keep loving the serie more and more, good work! |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| I got a bit confused, so how many sides are there: Elves, Church, Empire and Demons right? Is the empire the one that gave the powers back to that other reborn or is that yet another group but the Church is also divided on 2? |
| Well, potimas is not dead, now I can say that he could fight Ariel and the archbishop in his time. Human history was interesting, now we only have to know hmmm, 4? I don't know if it's me but I saw more scenes in 3dcg, including Ariel at the end, I guess the studio gave up on their 2d scenes, it doesn't look bad anyway |
  Humans may have two eyes, but we can only see one thing Don't use the scores to see an anime ええい！ なんでも やって やる |
| The one off heal really served to raise Kumoko's fame by quite the amount. Quite the unexpected welcome that they got from the elf village though. I'll say the reaction to Karnatia is pretty normal given that in the real world she was a guy. The reunion with the other members of their class who had been reincarnated and rescued by Filmo's was nice especially for Fei. Up close mother really was frightening. The brains sure made quite the timely comeback. Though Kumoko managed too finally overcome and vanquish her overbearing mother there's still a matter of Ariel who will continue to hunt her down. But at the very least pressure will be lessened for her. Overall an excellent ep that managed to not only allow Kumoko to level off the playing field by taking care of her hunter but also serve to expand upon the other reincarnations as well. While the reunion was great the trust that Schlain and co had for Filmo's seem to have become strained. But with war looming on the village trust is something they will all need. |

| The humans side feels as empty as usual. They introduce a bunch of other students and I feel like I wont miss out on anything by not remembering any of them. It does bother me that they just gave in into the kidnappings though. The adventurer ones who should have experience in combat should have at least some drive to improve their situation. The whole "lets just do what the sensei tells us" thing is really stupid considering all of them are in their 30s now. |
 |
| I hope all these new humans are only introduced in the story to be killed off Red Wedding style. |
 |
| I can still ask why Elves are so determined to imprison reincarnation, but considering how the show is determined to not give any answer, I must wonder whether I really care for the answers anymore as I don't really have any context for the conflict in question. I don't know what is in stake, and I don't know who is even fighting and why. Despite my many objections how it doesn't make sense, anime ironically enough had a very strong start, however, in time they drown in their own puzzles and don't care anymore whether the puzzle is solved or not. |
| Signature removed. It was too good for this cruel world. |
| Kumoko being worshipped as a god now by the humans, while being chased by the actual Divine Beast... So a lot of other reincarnations got introduced and honestly loved that reunion. Fei has found her besties again and the reactions to Kanata now being a babe never gets old. Cause let's face it, He is hot now... I have had my fair share of complaints on the CGI before, coming this far you would think I get used to it, but that CGI Ariel post credit was so much worse than before credits rolled. |

Is the empire the one that gave the powers back to that other reborn or is that yet another group but the Church is also divided on 2? I won't go into detail about how they changed because it would take a while. Just before the classroom incident, the groups changed a couple of times and they've changed several times after the incident. @_@ In the WN, the PoV chapter counts look something like this: |
|
| Mother's finally down and Kumeko's stats are insane. Art was nice too. Although the e cg on the demon lord and dragon is really quite bad. I hope they stick to animations for them. |

Right? if ep 24 ends where most think it will it would be 1/3 of the Ln |
| Iirc in the LN, Ariel had a valiant battle with the Earth Dragons where she treated them with respect. She was angry for her daughter being killed, but didn't totally lose temper like a child. Here she shouts, shows tantrums, what the heck are you doing to best detergent grandma... |
| "All truth is meaningless. In the end, 'meaning' comes from the mind of each individual human. Even when there is a single truth, it can mean different things to different individuals. The truth has no meaning in itself!" - Erika Furudo |
| Well, the battle with mother went better than I'd expected. The episode was more focused on the humans development anyway - with them meeting up with the other lost reincarnates, the elf village, and whatnot. |
 |
| The unresolved issue from last episode remains, and this episode only made it worse. Kumoko killed two Elves right outside the freaking bedroom of Sophia and her parents, in part to save Sophia and in part to warn her parents that the Elves are targeting them. The third Elf fled, so there was noone to ditch the bodies. In the previous episode Sophia's father and his butler talked about Kumoko who camped right outside their town but "forgot" to mention anything about the two very dead Elven elephants in the room. I thought that there was a (remote) possibility that the Elves were mentioned off-screen, or their mention was edited out to trim screentime. Now with the sudden and very unannounced appearance of Potimas, and his warm and utterly unsuspected welcome by Sophia's father, it was made clear that the Elven bodies somehow vanished into thin air. So what happened to them? Presumably the bodies fell into a deep chasm of plot contradiction and noone can see them anymore; they both lie outside that bedroom and they don't; they are Schrödinger's bodies. Anyway, Elven body rant = over. In earlier episodes where Sophia and her parents were targeted by the Elves I thought Sophia was a target for who she was (a baby vampire). There were later hints that Potimas was gathering reincarnated students using bandits, mercenaries or Elves, but in this episode it was made clear that Potimas simply wanted to gather every reincarnated student to have them close (and apparently under his control), with the eager help of his daughter Oka-chan, who somehow happened to be the reincarnated Sensei of the students. I strongly doubt Oka-chan does not know what Potimas did to gather the former students. Just from Sophia we know that the hired bandits (at first) and later the Elves were going to kill her parents to get her, and this would have happened had Kumoko not intervened. So Oka-chan is complicit at best, or an active participant at worst. Therefore it appears that this is not a simple story of good vs evil, which is nice. The Demons under Ariel, Sophia and the others (and perhaps Kumoko if she is the White Lady), with the useful idiot Hugo as a front, probably have very good reasons to target the Elves at least, though I do not yet know what the humans have done to them. Abredon said: Kumoko removed the bodies offscreen - she was talking about that. No she didn't; at least not in the anime (perhaps she did in the light novel). On the contrary (in the previous episode of the anime) she made a point about Sophia's parents being rattled by the Elven bodies which would thus serve as a warning that the Elves have been targeting them. Since that motivation was already established it was even sillier for the screenwriter and/or director to misplace the bodies.. Abkaal said: When did she say that? I only remember her stating that the bodies are bound to alert them to being targeted. Exactly, that's what she said. (In the anime) Kumoko never suggested she would remove the bodies, which would be contrary to her plan about warning Sophia's parents anyway. Starhammer said: Have you thought that in this world,the bodies of Elves might just turn up outside bedrooms at night all the time? It could be a nightly occurance :) It would also give another reason as to why not many people seem to trust the elves in this world,the bloody sukebei peeping tom bastards :) You go to bed,and wake up the next day with a dead elf/elves outside your room,then casually ask the butler or maid to take care of it,at which point said butler/maid drags the bodies away and either burns them,or takes them to the dead elf compost heap in the garden :D So,there you go,the butler/maid did/saw it ;D On another note,why the hell are those Kumo plushies not on sale in this bloody world? You are funny ^.^ I would also like a Kumoko plushy btw; I want the one with the winked eye and tongue out :) |
