| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn, I felt bad for the people that got affected by the natural disaster. Looks like more orc trouble to deal with again. This episode was tense without some of the usual humor. Seriously, all that lava and the state of their world looks like a living hell. Iu got some battle screen time although she didn't fare too well against that orc. Luckily, she wasn't alone in that fight. This might be one of the most serious episodes I've seen from this franchise. |
 |
| Came for laughs, instead got a massive tonne of lava. Somehow the tone of the show made a fairly natural change, from a more light hearted anit hero tone to this one where people are just being decimated by lava, surprised by that honestly. Went from dikk throbbin to talking about humans take advantage of other species just because they can, goddamn. |

| They tried so hard to make the orcs some sympathy worth opponent. Couldn’t care less about them, they were attacking and eating humans. Fuck em. RIP bozos D*k throb |
 |
| So... now the dragons are appearing outta nowhere. Is it weird that I was feeling bad for the orcs trying to save the little orc? The situation is dire and the orc queen is no joke when it comes to combat. Luckily, Shindou was there to fight her. Definitely, one of the tensest situations they've ever been in this show while protecting others. |
 |
| I felt bad for those orcs for a few seconds, but they were eating humans. So, that's what they deserved anyway. Bye bye orc, and say hello to the dragon. PS. Get well soon, Kin-chan. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| loved the mc freaking stabbing the girl orc before throwing it xD dude was freaking cruel.. |
| This Valkedaam arc really is just one of the many arcs that paints this source material in a better light, but the anime, please step up the quality. Disaster ater disaster, this Jiffon Island is truly bereaved of its dark gore. Yotsuya and the heroes, with limited options they can go, have to make use of the Kumamo Castle to drive out the remaining orcs to save the remaining citizens. But as it turns out that the next queen has a child that's ready to take over while the women and children safel in a lrge boat, are caputred by the current orc queen for her bidding. Shindou resurrected like a boss to save Thanza who interfered her for a short while. Is it hilarious that Ayu lierally is shouting "Dick throbb" to capture the orcs attention? Well, that's one part of the plan though. LOLS Yuka with the Arnold Schwarzenegger "I'll Be Back" catchphrase, being swept away by lava while saving the crossbow capsule for Kusue to render the orc queen's life dead. Yotsuya's introspectives really gives an idea of how he became the one that stands on a million lives, and this is just the starting part of that perspective where his weakness cannot be compensated for humanity, much less his hate stemmed from fellow humans. The orcs are done, now it's time to face the dragon that is sucking the lifeforce of everyone. |
 |
| This anime would be an instant 10/10 if Iu was fighting in her sports underwear the whole time! |
ShibitoMatuzaka said: I'm only watching the 2nd season because the manga readers said it's going to really pick up after where they left off in the 1st season. Right now, it's still disappointing. Hoping for an OddTaxi / Full Metal Alchemist type finish for this anime to really grab my interests. Fuck it, as a manga reader, it's time to give up on the anime. The adaptation missed every single note, and the poor animation is not helping one bit. Just drop the anime and read the manga, if you're still interested at this point... |
Aoyu was pretty adorable and funny as hell when she said ''Dik Throbb'' LOL. The only thing she knew in Orc language. Well thanks to her the Orcs were distracted and Keita killed one of them. The last Orc fight was pretty amazing. Thanks to Iu and Kusue they managed to defeat the Queen. Took a lot of time. The last few minutes of the episode were kinda heavy. Never thought that the serie would go into serious mode. The dragon is sucking everyone's life form for some reason and the one that saved the Orc Queen years ago is there too. Mysterious.. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| I honestly have no idea what it is that the author was trying to convey by humanising the orcs, its like sympathising with a starving dog as it rips your wifes throat out. The final scene of the orc child and father would have been far more impactful if it was presented as the moment that their human qualities are realised. Its also rediculous to suggest that humans broke a contract. What contract? Since when is paying tribute considered a contract? I suppose mobsters demanding protection money is also considered as a contract... For the mobsters at least |
| Another trash episode. I don't give a shit about a bunch of ugly ass orcs and their backstories, you utter clown of an author. Imagine feeling pity watching this crap rofl. All those episodes for this lololol |
| Terminator, Aang, red dragon drained people's life, Aoi said dicc throb leg hair with full effort, orc justification moment, yabbe surfing hot babe Iu outta nowhere. This episode really full of fire. Yuusuke showed some fucked up monologue again there, and well, i don't blame him for conflicting so much about that. Still, mission is a mission. No need to feels bad. Even though its already diverted so far away from the initial. But, there's always be a way to solved that shit out, right? |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| It was the best episode since episode 1 but thats not saying much cause it was still bad. Iu's fight though...*thumbs up* |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Fall 2024 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| Didn't expect an episode titled "Dik Throbb" would be this fucked lmao. Kinda feel bad for the orcs especially that one orc dude and the kid, but it is what it is for survival. Iu should just stay like that for the rest of the show, I don't know where she got that sportswear and surfboard but keep it on her lmao. So that bald avatar looking dude probably gonna be the main antagonist for this season. |
 |
| Great ep. Prev ep was so bad I turned it off. Mother Orc had her chance, she coulda won easy before. Humans knew Orcs would go full bloodlust eventually. She was just a pawn though it seems. |
| Its really nice to watch even after reading the manga... the real plot is finally going to be animated. XD Damn I which they didn't censor the d*ck part tho. LOOL |
| Well, there are no heroes here. Yuuske is not proud of what he had to do. Anyway, we have learned that Power of Friendship > Power of Family |
 |
| Iu arriving in sportswear surfing on her shield was the best thing this episode. Yuusuke stabbing the Orc child before tossing it into the lava was cruel, I didn't expect that. |
 |
| damn! this episode is hard to watch...why do i feel pity against the orcs...hmmm 4/5. |
 |
| why the part secene of orcs is sad to watch WTF !!! |
| Iu showing why she is best. |
 |
| A stunning after credits reveal of the mastermind behind the orc queen arriving on the island and the dragon awakening (I assume, anyway), but couldn't help but feel like saying 'who's that' more than anything else. My take away from the ep: orc good, human bad, yellow haired guys dick is throbbing, and this is actually a prequel to Surfs Up... |
 |
| Iu is ripped and it's awesome lmao. Top 1 girl in the series It was a little weird how they made us feel for the orcs but eh. It could be worse |

You can't push a humans are the real monsters angle when they "betrayed" the orcs for their survival. You could maybe make this why do humans have anymore right to live than orcs, but that's not an argument for the humans to go along with it. Also if you really cared about your family maybe arrange a sustainable food source that doesn't rely on the humans who hate and fear you. |

Well then, I guess this is the only fanservice we're gonna see. Ya know I kinda feel bad for that Orc trying to save that little girl orc at the very last moment. |
| man....I know they're the objective. a villain from the POV of MC and his gang. but, this scene was pretty sad tbh. + MC's monologue and guilt he got since he need to consciously killed intelligent being and a kid as well to make it worse poor MC. albeit, he's a bit edgy from time to time. lol   Spoiler from manga : |

| Dark episode. Orcs defeated but what did that cost? Also, Yuka dying in the lava: I'll be back (I think I got the reference) XD |

I suppose mobsters demanding protection money is also considered as a contract... For the mobsters at least the gangstars that you are talking about are fully fledged adults who can do decent works to earn money,but they dont.on the other hand;for orcs, this lava island has little alternate food sources because of lava ash;there's probably only some fish(isnt sufficient for orcs,you can see that looking that their big frame) and the chubby cow species to eat.and humans. so,the orcs were brought to the island,humans started a war,orcs defeated them.then to save their skin,humans did a contract and broke them. at least,you are oversimplifying it by comparaing it to the gangster's protection money.the situation here is just about "survial of the fittest" and "food chain". as for us humans,we eat other species just for one reason :to survive.for the orcs,its the same.they would have eaten humans to survive;unless they got a alternative resource such as the chubby cow. P.S: I dont blame the humans though,living while knowing that you would become food the moment you cant provide enough for the orcs will seriously f*ck anyone up psychologically.the fear they were harboring was unimaginable.also,it was their island originally.its isnt wrong to defend ypur island from invaders such as orcs.also,it isnt wrong either to reclaim your freedom and to not risk your future generation to become food. so,in.this particular case;none should be in the right's side or none in the wrong. while you're not entirely wrong, your assessment is unnecessarily grey, when the situation is distinctly black or white. i don't know about you but i'm not an orc, therefore, it's a little silly, and not too clever, for the author to try and portray them in such way when as a human, its not an option to sympathise with them, regardless of their sentience, when they are eating the islanders down to the last woman and child. |

Though I like these moral conflicting situations ;3 i also enjoy pondering moral conflict and while i would agree fundamentally,i don't think it applies in this particular arc. if these were say for example human refugee's that had invaded for the prosperity of their own then i would 100% agree with you. thats not the case in this scenario, a species of monsters(regardless of sentience and emotion) invaded their island _sloth said: almightydingus said: while you're not entirely wrong, your assessment is unnecessarily grey, when the situation is distinctly black or white. i don't know about you but i'm not an orc, therefore, it's a little silly, and not too clever, for the author to try and portray them in such way when as a human, its not an option to sympathise with them, regardless of their sentience, when they are eating the islanders down to the last woman and child.

_sloth said: alright,let me get this straight.the reason for you not sympathizating with the orcs is because they're monsters.bt cant you see that these monsters have literally no other differences with humans other than their appearances? they have emotions,they have families,they care for their kind.they have to eat for their survival,as humans.humans also eat those those cows for survival;isnt it the same? if hunger forces them to,orcs wont hesitate to eat other sentient beings.Humans also ate sentient beings ,their own fellow humans during several famines such as the one Where germans locked Moscow in ww2 and the great famine of china;where even parents had to eat their children due to hunger. Hunger f*cks everyone, man. so tell me,do the standard definition of monsters apply here?they are sentient beings and they aint unreasonable,they agreed to a treaty.they probably dont have enough knowledge of pastoring cows or Agricultural methods ;or they dont have that much intelligence except the queen;bt they are intelligent enough to be called sentient. they need to eat.They were forced brought upon that island by some evil force;and now they have to survive.what to do if they want to survive? eat.They cant go,"alright we're monsters.so we die.lets go brothers,sisters,sons,daughters".no living beings wont do that.the only reason the orcs are monsters,not humans; is the fact that they have different appearances and.the strength that comes.with their build. also,I agree with you the fact that thw author's view on humans in cringe worthy.bt I also dont understand how someone cant understand these feelings are cringe, bt they're are valid.they are,in fact. You seem to be approaching this as though it were a human civil rights issue and the only difference between an orc and a human is the way they look, which is utterly rediculous. By this (your) logic are all humanoid creatures considered the exact same as humans? Mermaids? Centaurs? What about aliens and vampires? Maybe we should consider the morality of the queen orc for her and her brood eating humans when the tribute of cows wasnt enough to to sustain the forever expanding orc populations (very reasonable). Did they ever consider learning agriculture or fishing or even building a ship and leaving, im sure the humans would've been happy to help. Not to mention the orc are so poorly designed, both character and art, that id feel like a moron if i were to relate to the shits in any way Im not entirely sure how chinese famines are comparable to this and i don't wanna open that can of worms, also.. The siege of moscow...? Im also not sure if a cow would fit in a confessional box |
