Gotta admit loved the episode but the story felt void after all that harsh fight those three retards don't get together, and Myne is just using her stupid ways to harm naofumi.

The animation and angles were almost perfect especially at the beginning of the episode, and that ost at the end would love to know its name if someone share it with us.

Really liked this episode as a bridge between the two arcs with a piece of mind set in for Naofumi. One thing I had a problem was the round table meeting with the adaptation from the LN But....... Kinema Citrus has kinda shifted gears to focus on the Archipelago (which is what I'd do with the time left in the episode count).

Every time i think those three bakas are finally turning a corner they do something stupid again... i totally agree with Naofumi; they are a lost cause! I feel so sorry for him that he has to spend an extended amount of time stuck on a ship with them!

I also feel sorry for Elhart (the blacksmith) too... just openly being robbed by Naofumi, Raph and Filo haha

Not a bad episode. My personal "highlights" : the Queen's reaction when Melty told her she met Fitoria (quite priceless, that was surprisingly if we refer to her attitude last 2 episodes eheh) & the introduction of Lark & his friend (very quick but since he appears in the OP 2, I guess he'll earn his part through the show).

Other heroes fighting like kids again, with such a condescendant attitude (except for Ren, he was quiet as usual). Funny to see that the Kingdom actually adopted & applies the new rule claiming Malty/Myne = Bitch/Slut.

@FMmatron , maybe he is a hero within his own realm? Like he does not belong to Four Cardinal Heroes and he cannot be called as "Cardinal Hero", but he is a hero in that fantasy world who chose that kind of way of life and/or people started calling him as "a hero"?

I haven't watched this episode yet and I'm an anime-only viewer, though after reading posts about that


Ayy, so can I expect Axe, Mace or Crossbow heroes to appear as well? xD

I guess Bitch hasn't learned her lesson, what a troublesome trash!

In my view those four heroes suck, Naofumi and Motoyasu are the worst. The only better one is the sword hero, he was the one that gave Naofumi the benefit of a doubt than others. There was a time when I felt pity and cheers for Naofumi and his party, but now the bastard is arrogant and acts so big that I think he deserves to be cast away. I'm going to come out and say I Hate him, plain and simple. This series ain't ending soon enough, these next last episodes should come already so I can say good riddance 'Stinky'.

It was pretty hilarious to see the queen fangirling over Fitoria and just as hilarious to see how they have to call Myne Bitch and Slut... but on the other hand, it's pretty stupid that My—Slut can still be around doing her shitty things.

Poor girl xD



It was also amusing how Naofumi copied one of the blacksmith's shields and then Raphtalia and Filo all excited began to bring him shields.

I remember the conference where they talk about their abilities happening during the training in the archipelago. Maybe I'm misremembering it.

The red haired dude and the blue haired girl never show up in the WN so I'm assuming they are LN/manga exclusive. I like their designs and they are voiced by Saori Hayami and Jun Fukuyama which is good civilization, so I approve. XD

Best scene of the episode was the one near the end with Naofumi, Raphtalia and Filo. :)

God are the other heroes still going to be totally incompetent? I thought we might actually get some reasoning to why Naofumi is so much stronger despite being lower leveled. They'd be like "this is how we've been training" and Naofumi would be like "aha, that's why you're all so weak" or some bs, but naaah they just bitching and moaning some more.

And omg fucking bitch/slut like??? I was totally okay with her not being killed last episode under the assumption that she's basically written out of the story. But then they go and have her back to her old ways. Like what is with this writing man.

At least the new character seems decent. Wonder how long that will last.

When Bitch/slut/whatever the fuck the writer's kink is, tried to kill naofumi again I realized what her whole existence in this justice fetish meant. It's because of the fucking DOUJINS.......just think, the amount of people nutting for Bitch's revenge rape doujin. It's always been about the doujin sales.

It's fucking disgusting, I never imagined I would be writing something like this on any anime ever. I had to get this anger out.

The best part was when they ACTUALLY LEFT and gave Raphtalia some purpose for her future and Naofumi wanting to find them happiness, also finally I feel like we have met a sort of best boy.

I'm sorry if I went overboard, I just had to let it out.

Y'all got baited so hard thinking that Bitch, Motoyasu or the other 2 heroes had turned over a new leaf. Honestly, Bitch has a deep seeded hate for the Shield Hero, Motoyasu has had his face buried in bitch's ass for the longest time, and Ren Itsuki may have been skeptical about the rape allegation and Bitch's actions, but they're still kids, and kids aren't going to mature over night.

Interesting that the legendary weapons unlock skills based on what the wearer thinks.

I'm guessing it's due to that that naofumi is broken since unlike the other three that think of their abilities based on the game from the world they came from which I assume would include some sort of balance, naofumi's might be a combination of subconscious tropes from visual novels and games from his world(thus no balance) and limitations from thinking he's in a real world.

I wonder if this system could be exploited beyond the rage mode.
Not really. Is just each has his different approach to the world. As Naofumi proves by using copy all their ideas have merit. Problem is each of the other 3 think their way of dping things us the best.

and seriously i thought those guys would be a bit more open or feel sorry for all the trouble caused to naofumi but they really dont give a fuck, whats wrong with them? here i was hoping i would see some change in their character and grow fond of at least one of them. the other heros are arrogant to the point where it feels a bit unnatural

Another boring episode, nothing much happened that is actually noteworthy. I suppose the incels were really riled up and got hard watching Raphthalia protect Naofumi's "honor" by almost slaying a half drunken man.

I have very low expectations for the last three episodes. Naofumi wants to go back but obviously he's going to find a way to bring back his waifus with him. He won't be able to find any woman who would be willingly his slave back in Japan unless he joins a BDSM club and signs a contract with someone.

Bitch/Slut whatever her name is, is only in his series to serve as cannon fodder for justice porn. Her role is pretty boring, she would've been better off dead. Everyone in this series, including Naofumi, are all annoying and boring.

I can't believe we still have to deal with the bitch, this show would be a lot more tolerable if we just forgot about her existence. The spear hero still being a dumbass and defending slut is just bad writing and the other heroes having learnt nothing and still saying stuff like cheat shield is just purposefully lazy writing in an attempt to bring out anger from the viewer. It's honestly boring and repetitive at this point.

Naofumi and his gang along with Melty are decent characters but most of the side characters are just trash. Next arc looks like it might be fun, hopefully we get some good action and they can finally level up and get some new skills. Also they never specified what class they got so that'll be something to look forward to as well.

People still bitching about the others heros are NOT listening, I thinking I m not the only reader that has said it here, but again, the other heroes WONT have a change of heart anytime soon, dont expect them to, you would need a S3 to see things starting to change abit, so what are you even expecting?!

But no, better to have the thot around. After all this ruckus...I don't expect her to be killed this time around, the show had had its chance.

The gist of it is, she will never learn, no matter the opportunities she is given, expect her to keep doing shit in the future.

Cal Mira starts with this episode, anime onlies havent realized, but Naofumi just learned ALOT.
He learnt that he can fast travel, copy weapons, having his shield craft all stuff in auto mode provided it is feed the right materials, and has learnt about 3 distinct ways to power his party further.
On the LN this was the turning point for him, and next episode will start to show him growing alot in power, since him and his party had all these limitations they didnt know about, besides that rank up more than doubled Rapth and Filo's stats.
L'arc looking good but dunno if that VA suits him for when he gets to start fooling around.
2 episodes left with last one beind around 47 mins probably, so 3 episodes lenght left you could argue (that 1 hour is never an hour), I think they can end it really well, besides 47 mins for everything that will happen in the end, rather than dividing it in 2 episodes separated by one week will do it good.

Cal Mira is a much better point to stop than vol7 or 6, happy they are going with this pacing, at the end of this arc I think there will be alot more questions to mess around with anime and even manga fans, since those answers have yet to be adapted in the manga.
Should be fun.
Btw really enjoyed that moment Naofumi, Rapt and Filo shared near the end, so warming and cozy to see~~

So, the three stooges are still dumb and useless, got it.
I really think Motoyasu has some kind of brain damage, his stupidity is unreal.

And what was Bitch doing there?? They just set her free just like that?... And are they just gonna let go the fact that she tried to poison Naofumi and his team?... I just...

Anyway, those two new characters really caught my attention though. Hope they'll be fun to watch!

I'm curious,its since yesterday that i read about the last episode being a 48 mins-long, so I did some research and didnt found nothing about it, even in the official store but I went to check the vol 4 Bluray(last volume) and in the description it says that the duration is 132 minutes vs the first volume with 176 minutes.
The others two volume are the same as the last one 132 minutes, so where did this famous 1hour lenght episode came out?

Was weird that after their "grand exit" last episode they just came right back this ep....so misleading :/

Other than that....felt like this was weirdly placed filler....
I'm liking L'Arc though.... if he's really the "Scythe Hero" like some people are saying, all the more reason I'd really like him to become best bros with Naofumi and be able to teach him stuff....cuz while Naofumi did pick up that 'copy weapon' skill from the brief meeting with the other 3.....wellll.....I don't see them being openly friendly with him any more beyond that

Putting aside their wrong impression of Naofumi this whole time....they're so selfish/prideful of themselves -as we can see from them arguing about what is the "best" sort of weapons to power up...none of them were even open to the other's explanation
Well....I guess I can kind of see why they acted like that though...if I was leveling up my equipment etc one way for a long time then told I been doing it completely wrong I'd probably be a bit annoyed too...

I haven't read it. Since the moment of false rape accusation, i considered the whore irredeemable. Tbh, commonly seen belief in her change of attitude after 21 episodes is probably a result of nothing but false hope. I'll let meself to quote: "Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment"

Sure, the heroes enjoy arguing but I feel they'd enjoy more having their sense of "fairness". I imagine them throwing a childish tantrum to have Naofumi share his secrets now that they had already shared theirs. Can't see him getting off the hook that easily.

Meanwhile, more plot contrivance; the other heroes know about some XP booster event, even though past experience suggests that they should be the last people with such knowledge. [...]

Of course, no episode would be complete without validating the MC, as befits any proper self-insert. And the queen delivers, informing everyone that all the heroes will die in the next wave if they don't work together - except Naofumi, of course. Never mind that this makes no sense if the only way for the heroes to survive is by working together. Self-insert plot armor takes precedent over logic.

I'd argue it's reasonable for the other three to be familiar with the XP booster event. They have been treating this whole adventure as a game so makes sense they'd seek out the best way to "farm" exp using game logic.

This anime is certainly self-riotous towards the main character but it feels reasonable that Naofumi could possibly make it out alive compared to the other three. He is a tanky turtle who has speed to run to safety, as he has been shown to do thanks to Filo. While the others being primarily offensive units means that if they come across a stronger enemy that they can't handle it'll be much tougher for them to flee or outlast them without losing or getting seriously hurt.

Since Raphtalia and Filo didn't get a new class, will they learn anything else?

Am assuming their chosen class was just overwritten with a different class by the thing affecting them. Even though the anime suggests it's due to their items I'm curious if it may be due to Naofumi's cursed shield.

Honestly i don't know how are they going to wrap this up at the end.

There is so much stuff that has to be covered in order for this show to have a good ending.

I just want to see will naofumi go back to real life when it all settles down in the end.

So my guess is that the relationship between the heroes has to be good for more things to be unlocked. Considering the three idiot heroes have a decent relationship they were able to unlock everything. Since Naofumi said he would have faith in them he was able to unlock the Copy weapon ability. That's how I see it at least.

Raphtalia sticking up for her man. F that garbage drunk.

Bitch/Slut is still up to no good. You'd think that she would appreciate Naofumi for saving her life. smh.

looks like the show won't be going downhill, instead it just stopped rising and now maintaining the flow which is good thing. I like the queen's reaction about the Filolial queen, I never saw/remember that on the manga lmao also, the two future queens are besties which is awesome :>


My point exactly. I've seen people try and point out that the show always constantly goes downhill when the main episodes that are the most hype are the ones that have the most action in them. This isn't going to be like OPM S1, all the seasons of AOT, MHA, and other action animes that are usually more action packed and always tend to deliver with each episode. And to be fair, I've seen people have legit criticisms over the anime adaptation but there are those who also try and make the point that each episode doesn't deliver as much consistently even though those episodes tend to be more story focused for future episodes. Still hopeful for a second season at least

I mean you can basically argue anything with the logic that "they have been treating this whole adventure as a game". It's really just a lazy substitute for lack of characterization or consistency.

You are just speculating about plot minutiae, which for some people seem to love to do when trying to defend bad writing. Based on the logic of the narrative, none of them should survive alone; the waves are getting exponentially more powerful. Running away shouldn't be an option given that it is their job to stop the waves; and even if they did, it would only be putting off the inevitable.

No, this is clearly just a cheap way to validate the self-insert MC. The fact that it contradicts the logic of the story is just detail.

Bitch/Slut, despite getting the punishment she deserved last episode, is STILL up to her usual tricks and thanks to her sabotaging the food, it did make for a funny scene with Raphtalia putting an insulting guy in his place and that poor green-haired girl got splatted in the face by a pie when she tried to calm everyone down.

It was also funny when Melty and the Queen almost called Bitch/Slut by her old names before correcting themselves. XD

Either way, Naofumi did try to get along with the other heroes a bit more, but only to a limited success. What we did learn was that the four heroes have a different way of learning potions, weapon copying and fast travelling.

Luckily, Naofumi unlocked the weapon copying skill, so he made VERY good use of it by going to his favourite armoury shop and copying EVERY shield that the poor bald guy had! That made me laugh a lot. =3

After visiting Raphtalia's former home and seeing her at the graves of her parents, Rifana and the other fallen citizens, the group now are on their way, along with the other heroes towards Cel Mira, where we get our proper introduction to the red-head guy that Naofumi encountered earlier.

I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do, going by the OP's animation of him, as well as his female companion. =)

Okay, the series seems to be getting back on its feet with the last two episodes after it took a nose dive there in the middle.If I have realized anything from the last 22 episodes, it is that this series makes for a terrible action-adventure series. Heck its more slice of life than action( of which there is not much of anyway). It stands in this a niche middle ground and I love it for that. The series feels so alive with the characters being pretty fleshed out, its the subtle nuances that make it feel real.It does what it does and it does it well, trying to tack on action just screws up the flow because the episodes that I've enjoyed the most were the boring ones. And while I don't think its going to end up being a 10/10 , I'd be happy to call it an 8.5-9 if it can this up.

Hopefully the studio can throw in some fan service at the end and finally kill the bitch. Kinda sad that they chickened out on it during the last episode xD

Well then , it looks like Bitch still hasn't learned her lesson and was still stupid enough to do something diabolical........


Ok, so L'arc Berg, the scythe guy has appeared...........


And it looks like he's bad news for Naofumi.

I agree those three have poor characterization and single track minds. Even after all the people they've harmed, gotten killed & future beings they must protect, they still act as immature as when they were first introduced. However I still don't understand what aspect has you consider they'd be the last people to know about such an event. Those three are social with others & themselves compared to Naofumi who keeps to himself. Catching hints of this "once in a decade" event feels very likely. It's more surprising that Naofumi was the one who didn't hear about it. The whole royal family is likely aware of it since they're in charge of supporting the Heroes, including Malty and Melty. It's more odd Melty didn't make mention of it to Naofumi. Not arguing that this was placed in just to bash on Naofumi for a lack of knowledge to later boost his ego back up but it did feel like you were pointing fingers in the wrong direction.

That's true, even if he survives alone to make it to the next wave he'll die there at the hand of the monsters or be killed off by humans in order to summon a new set of heroes. So overall the death of 2+ heroes would be the death of all. Like the previous queen Filoria mentioned & would assure.
