Qichar said: -Stray said: I know some people would prefer some heroic shit here but I actually didnt expect Lugh to do anything at all and am surprised with how he handled things. Silver Link has been doing a great job with this adaptation. I appreciated this as well. The author kept it within character for Lugh. Let's remember he's trying to establish his identity as a merchant. Lugh has laser focus and 100% discipline in staying on mission and not getting distracted (at least, that's what his previous life backstory would have us believe). It would have blown his cover to go all vigilante on the scumbags himself. Instead, he worked with the local authorities which is exactly what the rich and influential people do. Why dirty your hands when you can get local constabulary to do it for you? Precisely, the fact that the character does what the story requires and doesn't just pander to the viewers is a good sign. |

| How Lugh and his girls gets so pro/solid in what they do and close with each other, nothing is handed down, really love the developments the anime spend. This episode really AMAZED me though. |

| This episode got dark and depressing fast. What hit me the hardest is the stark contrast between the girls living earnestly and trying to make it by themselves to getting kidnapped, starved, and put in a situation such as the one depicted in this episode. Dark but I guess that is how the author operates. I think the anime could have been done without so much of it. The author had to explicitly show the viewer that every girl except Maha got abused. I'm enjoying the anime but this episode added nothing to my judgement of Lugh. He's no hero or savior just an assassin forming a coalition of individuals that could help him in the long run. |
 |
| I had already read some comments about this episode but even so I wasn't prepared. Jesus Christ that was hard to watch, I had a knot in my stomach during the whole episode. Ifa losing the life in her eyes, Noine slashing her own face, those fucking "2 years later"... damn. I wonder what will happen to the other girls besides Maha. |
keiracartwright said: I sometimes work with human trafficking staff, so it’s really hard not to be affected by this episode. Easily the worst episode for me. 80% of the episode were about kids getting raped for 2 years, but Maha going “my prince is here!” and the way everything wrapped up with a bow tie as if PTSD and trauma doesn’t exist now that the villains are behind bars is utter shit. It’s not Lugh’s place to save all these girls, but when you put these kids through trafficking hell and try to make it as serious and sinister as possible, “MY PRINCE” and the way the episode ends with everyone in smiles while traffickers get 1 min of punishment before going off screen is NOT the way to placate your viewers. Healing facial scars would automatically erase 2 years of despair? If you can’t handle the seriousness of human trafficking, don’t bother trying to show 20 min of it and failing to wrap up such a heavy topic even remotely decently and doing shit like focusing on Ifa’s boobs while portraying her heading to her doom. In the real world there are many disgusting things people have to work with, but this is not a real scenario and neither the autor nor the staff have any obligation to display the story in a way you would prefer. This is an anime and not a documentation about human trafficking. Even than, the fact that the girls are happy after being freed is not surprising and doesnt mean that no one has any traumas left, its just not shown (maybe it will in the future but it doesn't really matter as the anime revolves about the MC and not that specific group of girls). I would even say the show was rather realistic when it showed how Maha idiolized the MC who saved her. After years of abuse can you really be mad about any human who thinks about himself or herself first when someone comes to help? In theory everyone can talk about how selfless they would act to help others, but this is not how reality works most of the time. It can even be argued that Maha intelligently avoided getting abused as she is probably the most intelligent of the girls that got captured. |
| I think this episode is a misstep in conception. While much of how it was made was quite correct, I think putting such an episode in a moderately fanservicey power fantasy isekai is inherently a bad idea. While the lead females of this show are far better characterised than you often get in things like this, fundamentally the narrative is still contriving reasons for a mentally middle aged guy to get surrounded by adoring young girls. If that's just being done as simple entertainment, fine, but it's a little too close to the attitudes of sex slavers to just do this stuff straightforward and serious with no subversion, no pointing out the parallels at play here. It's self-dishonest. (Unexpectedly great anime in general, BTW. I would never have imagined a straightforward power fantasy isekai with no subversion could be so compelling in general, let alone from rape revenge guy. Just this episode is where the bad side shows through. That rap scene in the next episode, I laughed so much.) |
| Alright so I have not watched an anime in a couple of days, and I came back to watch this episode and umm....wow that's fucked up. I was not in the mood to watch this episode telling Maha and her friends being trafficked and unfortunately raped and bodied by their overlords. But to save them because of Lugh's timely entrance was a relief...but also bullshit. Atleast he fixed Noin's face because if not, that was somehow a mishandle on human trafficking and child rape. |
 |
| In accordance with the light novel, but my emotions overflowed when I saw the anime version. anyway this episode really.  |
 |
| I'm not sure if I'm alone here, but I do think some of the direction in this (and the show overall) could benefit from not sexualizing the female characters when dealing with actual serious situations like child/sex trafficking. Ecchi has its time and place, and there continues to be some.... poor choices of when those times and places are throughout the show so far. It isn't a major gripe, but it could be... especially if they don't use the characters' backgrounds to inform their development as the show goes on. Also, I can't imagine Maha, given the life she has spent thus far and knowing what is supposed to be in store for her, would react well to any boy or man or even anyone outside of her friend circle telling her she would be cuter if she smiled. She's already cognitively assigned him a Prince Charming role when from her perspective, he has just given a cheesy quasi-pickup line, bought her, and paid the man that was abusing her an absurd sum of money. That's not going to look like a heroic rescue to someone who is expecting to be sold for their body. |

The episode was good showing once again the situation that the world is in. Maha's story does not surprise me but that does not take away from the good exopcision of the plot showing only what is necessary leaving explicit scenes that they could put |
| Oh well, i for sure didn't expect it to get this hardcore in a single episode, that was a tough episode... and when they say 2 years later, you know how worse it is. Damn, i do hope the girls will get revenge. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| wow, that was one of the worst episodes of anything i've ever seen |
 |
| I didn't like this episode. I don't mind suffering, but as the episode went on I just wondered how it was even related to the main plot. After an entire episode (and apparently 2 years of anime time), Lugh appears and everything is fixed in 2 seconds. After all that development I was expecting a satisfactory ending, but it ended so abruptly that looking back the entire thing seems pointless. The dialogue was super cheesy too. "You look cuter when you smile", the cheesiest line imaginable. How the girl found that charming is a mystery to me. And her then going "My prince" is just what. |

| The darkest episode so far. It was, quite frankly, hard to watch. I hope the Lord of the area had every single one of these repulsive 'people' hanged and they do not get away with just a few years in jail*. I doubt all the assassination targets of the Tuatha Dé family are of gutter level morals like them -I am sure plenty are just political opponents of the royal family- but I fully condone assassinating monsters like them. Rugh's first line to Maha, by the way, was risible. It was misplaced and even insensitive, since he already knew what was going on in that 'orphanage' the last 2 years. He probably just happened to discover Maha, and decided to take her in due to her high mana. If she had no mana he would not have even noticed her and would have just focused on his mission, which was to take down the director and his henchmen of that hellhole. Maha's reaction to Rugh for ... offering to buy her also made no sense at all. That was the lowest point of the episode. *It was weird that they arrested everyone instead of assassinating them. I thought, based on what we've seen so far, that arrests for serious crimes were not a thing in this world and that everyone gets simply assassinated. |

| This reeks of poor writing skills. The inability to depict realism but use well-established stock general audience-triggering imagery. Makes sense, because such plot devices never work as something supplementary to the main story while relegated to a single episode. Even a 3rd person narrative of Maha's struggles would have been a smarter option with the rescue scene animated. I mean, that is the whole point of the story. It was never about the girls' struggles, but about how Lugh would find more ways of having underlings. Too many things that constitute this mess: -Buisnessman daughter choosing tourist guide of all things that'd not give them a home, but will force them to buy/maintain expensive clothing. -Extremely healthy bodies despite under-nutrition, lack of physical maintenance -Said maltreatment conflicts with them being supposed to be desired for "goods". -12 year olds (or less) with bodies that'll make Aphrodite commit seppuku. -Maha, the one who gets selected, is ironically the virgin. -Girls who are supposedly limited to the orphanage can walk around casually and listen to plans in the owner complex. -They all got heavy psychological damage which will permanently affect their lives. And the show also made a point to give some real edgy depiction. However, it ends with "my prince came to save me" bs. This is not the mental manipulation of Lugh. This is conceptual escapism of the author. Can't drop this yet because Ep 5 was pretty decent. |

| I could literally write a better episode in my sleep. What the fuck was this shit. 🤮🤮🤮 |
| The rape happens off-screen! I would never guess that it's the same author of redo of healer... |
I think I don't know wtf I'm doing. Maybe. Probably. |
| They showed me young girls getting punched on their face by trash male adults, and they give me that lame outcome "youll now be judge by the law" leaving them unscratched like that? This maddens me a bunch. This anime is a lost case. |

| Still watching the ep but lemme just say those pimps are some messed up people. I am guessing Lugh assassinates Director Torran before he does anything to Maha. Also, sorry Noine/ girl with cuts on her face, you were never getting picked cuz Maha has MC vibes and you don't. Sorry girl. EDIT: Literally Maha could have used her magic to save herself this entire time... |

The light novel is really good too if u want to read S2 will take too long, besides I do feel a lot of details passed be my from this being an anime... it will probably get a S2, if so I hope they would improve further on the art for the show, I know Silver Link can produce art that is visually striking, for one what I most enjoyed of their Kimi to Boku adaptation was how good the characters looked. Not to say they looked bad here, but maybe using something, like more vivid colors or whatever they have to do, so the art for each character could pop out more. |

| I'm amazed at how many snowflakes are super triggered by the human trafficking plot. Do you want every anime to be 100% escapism? |
| Dark ep. It's the more real things like this that hit harder. It was a weird ep tho. Felt off having that much of the ep dedicated to Maha's situation, especially given how the other main girls were introduced. Honestly felt more like just an excuse for a darker tone knowing that it's Maha that ultimately only matters here. It looks like it's not gonna weigh on her too much either now. This is the RoH author we're talking about tho. Guess my man has his ways lol |
 |
| This episode was dark.. In a perfect world Lugh would have saved them all from the beggining but reality is much harsher.. at least the girls got a good ending |
| As expected from the author of Redo of healer, but didn't expect to see all this seething for showing it, guess some people didn't know how fucked up humanity can be. |
| Almost forgot this is made by the same author as Redo of the Healer. Glad Maha and the rest have been saved (albeit late as they experienced all that traumatising stuff) but I honestly wanted to see those disgusting pedophiles experience some excruciating punshiment. |

| This episode made my blood boil. I knew they were gonna use them as prostitutes. but luckily, Maha was maintained pure for two years. Thankfully, Lug manage to save her and the other girls, he guessed something was wrong. And the bastards got arrested. At least the girls are alive and blonde's scar was cured. Good thing she didn't though of taking her own life. Hopefully, Lughe took all of the girls in and not just Maha. |

| What a horrible episode! I mean horrible in the sense it's dark & sad. Interesting to see that episode #6 also involved sex. I feel that Maha became a bit cold after the incident compared to before. She's so beautiful & doesn't deserve what happened to her. I wish Lugh could have saved the other girls before they got defiled. It was nice to see that Noine's face was treated too. |

| I never knew a simple "2 Years Later" would drive me to utter despair. TT_TT |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| This episode was fucking miserable to watch and the ending was nowhere near cathartic enough. They seriously had us watch six girls get abused and raped and didn't at least have one of abusers get brutally murdered? |
