| We don't even realise how strong Kumoko is until we see those stats. |
 |
| That ending is probably the clearest the anime has gotten to showing the 15 year time difference without saying the exact words directly to our faces (don't think I'll have been able to pick up many of the subtle earlier hints since I saw a comment about the difference early on during airing). Due to the last human/spider fight we saw I was wondering whether that Zoa Ele was actually our Kumoko, but the appraisal cleared that up......that and Kumoko having a big old rant later on :P Kind of wish they'd done the Kumoko POV that someone else mentioned, although I feel that may have killed the serious vibe of the scene somewhat, even if it had been hilarious. Anyone else hope that the eventual Blu-ray release has a behind-the-scenes feature where we can see clips of Aoi Yuuki having to talk to herself repeatedly for the parallel mind segments? xD |
 |
| Even the strongest human was surprised to see the difference in capability between humans and other races. |
 |
| So, how does this connect to the spider Julius fought back in ep.6 ? They said it was "left behind by the Nightmare"... |
| Kumoko has the worst time with houses. Lol I’m glad she got even with the intruders this time. |

| "I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says. I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby". "She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other." |
Aure0lin said: RainyShadow said: spiders lay eggs dont theySo, how does this connect to the spider Julius fought back in ep.6 ? They said it was "left behind by the Nightmare"... Yeah, i thought it may have been her child. But spiders lay down a ton of eggs, so either this one was special, or there should be many more white spiders like that. |
| It's pretty clearly hinted that the monster who destroyed fortress (and probably killed hero) is Kumoko. Which means does not become demon lord... On the other hand it's also hinted she is demon lord in future. So one is bait. Anyway, great episode. At last we get to see how strong she actually is. And it sure is much stronger than I expected. If she is already at that level 15 years in the past, I'd love to see her classmates reaction when they finally meet. I'm also happy she just wiped those humans like any other enemy. |

TweedleDane said: i feel like i really could be enjoying this show , if i just knew what the fuck is going on , feel like they are just dropping like a 100 new names or things every ep , and then just forgetting about it....... There's a lot of characters but only a few are key characters and you know all of those already don't ya |
| Ok, this ep was the best one so far .. at least story-wise ... since we get to know what is gonna happen more or less - if you were paying attention at least a little then you know that the human story is 15 years into the future from our Kumoko, who is the demon lord girl from the last episode. Tbh I didn't see this coming at all but now I am a bit more interested in the human side of the story as well. Until now I was kinda bummed whenever there was a human story in the episode since I cared not for those characters at all, but as of now I just want to see how our Kumoko is gonna act. |
| This episode was sooo good. People who say the human side is bad cant complain anymore, its the mix between that side and kumoko´s that makes this story so interesting to read, and in the case of the anime, watch. The CG kumoko was really well done, weird how the best CG tends to be when there is 2D and 3D mixed in a scene, i dont mind it at all tho. Oh and the direction was still very good, some really creative storyboards, especially with parallel minds. |
| This episode was over before I even realized, it was amazing to see Kumoko from the eyes of someone else, a great payoff after having to endure with the human side but even then I could do with more humans and less of the other students, I don't care about the blue haired dude, I can't even bother myself to remember his name, I just know Julious since they were creaming over him most of the time. |

On the other hand it's also hinted she is demon lord in future. So one is bait. Nai wa. It's much more clear in the WN, but her choice of smaller taratect subspecies in the early episodes have made it impossible for her to evolve to the Queen. The Queen evolves by rising in size and strength, the way for it was thru the "Lesser Taratect" - the Kumoko went down the stealth-and-poison evolution branch instead("Small Taratect"). She said something about change in size(something like "I don't want to get bigger, it will be harder to hide") in early evolution episodes, so it was hinted here too. Unfortunately, anime failed to translate all the directly said details clearly. Same goes for human episodes, they have clearly mentioned and explained so many things about that world(all while no spilers were given on what and how will happen, only what has happened)... that were lost in translation to animation. The Queen that destroyed the fort just couldn't be Kumoko. Oh I missed that. Thanks for explaination. |
| Getting closer to the fun stuff. Side note 2 weeks untill the English volume 11 comes out |
| I am getting more interested now that the plots are starting to connect and we are learning more about the world. The fight was still lackluster because the sound design lacked some punch to it, although the CGI has definitely improved. |
linkhuesitos said: Fnights said: Damn, animators trolled me hard, believe anime faces were her true face but no, she is a true monster in the eye of the other beings, why the animators do not use the monster face? Anime face is really odd and out of place, her true form was so evil cute and precious (and more close to the manga). >_>  Really, anime form is a crap with this stupid pig face and ears. T_T The novel does the same. The "moe" form is just her imagination, her true form is the black shadow in the background.  Lol, very ugly in the novel, anime did a much better job with the moezation of her true body (while manga is the middleground). :D |
komic said: correct me if I'm wrong but is Kumoko story set in the past and the Human are the present time? There seems to be heavy hints of this. It also hints that she may be the Demon Lord as well. Kumoko in the cave = 15 years in the past Humans + demons = present Do not think she is "that" demon lord, VA is also different and she is too serious while Kumoko is pure comedy, i think however she is another kind of demon lord that we have yet to see, at least i think so (manga reader only here). |
| This was actually a pretty decent episode overall even though the timeline doesn't really match as it doesn't seem that any time passed in between the visit when egg/scarf material was retrieved and Kumuko becoming a legend. I believe Kumuko, being a monster spider, actually grows that fast. What I find hard to believe is that her legend builds up and spreads that fast among humans. Another makes me wonder how Feirune actually looks in the eyes of a human if she is still a purple Charmander or looks like an actual dragon. Primo_Itoko said: I really want to see people trying to say the human side is boring or that it has no purpose from this episode onwards, it's bond to have some interesting and funny arguments. And here I am, I still don't like Shun. |
| Signature removed. It was too good for this cruel world. |

Kumoko as a Small Teratect is actually the size of the dog as seen in the scene when egg was retrieved. |

| I thought this week's episode was okay. I liked at the end of the episode she got to evolve again and mistakenly click to max out Taboo. I don't know what that means exactly, but I guess I'll find out eventually. I don't know why that skill can be leveled up. Was the spider that the human's fought in the cave our girl, Kumoko, or was it something else? When I first watched the scene I thought it was the Demon Lord herself. |
| I'm guessing after the knights tried to attack Kumoko when they made the formation to protect the geezer while he was casting teleport it looked like the geezer was actually casting something dangerous to Kumoko else I don't get why she tried to kill them all. |

We don't have a good sense of the amount of time it passed because she's in a cave so it's not like there's a day cicle to help her keep track of things, but a good amount of time definitely passed, it'll become more clear later on. Well, find me someone who genuinely likes Shun for his character and not as a narrative device... I think he's ok, but you could hate him and still like the human side of the story (speaking from experience since I hated him for some time). Anyway, I'll be entertained by the comments that say it's boring or that the story would be better without it, so you do you man. |

| Too few of Kumoko again, sigh. Another evolution! We're closer and closer to her Go go go! |
| bruh |
| "What's a matter? Too thinky thinky for ya?" I just love the fact that this anime is actually challenging a good number of viewers to actually think and not be spoon fed information like most animes have done. Some of them are still trying to figure it out when it's already clear as day with some revelations yet to come. |

| I'm confused Is Kumoko the same spider that attacked the soldiered ?? Why that spider look different than Kumoko ?? |
| I'm shooketh. I was hoping another "sentient" spider has leveled up like her. But... it was i Dio! No srsly, it was her who caused the war and killed off those hoomans in the labyrinth?! Talk about "demon lordy queen" title earned! Next time i won't be fooled by her cutesy adorable spider persona xD |

 |
| Yo where did the time go? Felt like a 10 minute episode. Either way, I love the way the Humans look upon Kumoko. It just looks to them as a fearsome, overpowered spider boss. XD |
 |
| Each episode I learn something new about Kumoko. Really curious to know how Kumoko went from a happy go lucky spider to the Nightmare of the Labyrinth then to a Demon Lord. Hopefully it'll be pieced together soon. |
 |
| Ok, so next episode will begin with big revelation (installing sth - last message) - for those not spoiled by VN or Manga. |

Manga is very close to her Lol, just noticed at the bottom of this page (manga store of mal) we have the covers of the light novel that spoil everything, expecially volume 6 cover. Ha ha, damn. >_> |

| This episode sent a chill down my spine, spider gal is onlly going to get more OP and its remarkable. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| The backstory for Ronandt was pretty good. Its also time for him to leave the academy after gaining that hero status from his fallen brother. |
 |
| I was surprised that Kumoko leveled up so much so fast. I thought it must have been a couple of years later than when she made for the upper level and that geezer misremembered and said "15 years ago" instead of "13/14 years ago". Yet it was right when she entered the upper level.. Much of that leveling up is apparently a result of slaying that Fire Dragon, but it was still much higher than before. If she leveled up so much 15 years ago her stats must have skyrocketed today (yes, I am quite certain Oka-chan is lying that she died). Kumoko said that she wanted to "chew out" (i.e reprimand) the humans for burning her home. It appears that this is why she was blocking their exit, but that was misunderstood and they attacked her, which is why she killed them (in self-defence). However it is unclear why they couldn't her speak - not that they could understand her since she apparently lacks a "real time translation" skill, but at least it would make her look less monster-ish, and perhaps demonstrate that she was just angry and was scolding them for burning her home. Yet Kumoko sat still in (perceived?) silence... Why?* The two admins in the previous episode could hear speak just fine, though only D (who appears to be from Japan) could understand her. The other admin didn't appear to have a translation skill, otherwise he would have used it. D had a translation app, not a skill, in her freaking mobile phone. Since even admins do not have a Japanese - native language translation skill I assume that such a skill doesn't exist, so Kumoko later on will presumably need to learn the native language from scratch (or with a ... language skill). *The hypothesis "only admins can hear monsters speak" is ruled out, since it is contradicted by the fact that in the episode when the (deceased) Hero and his team took out that white spider and her bodyguard spiders they could hear the white spider speak just fine. Since that was 15 years later I guess that spider was an ancestor of Kumoko. phantomfandom said: It's kinda hard to root for her when you know she's a murderer, and the self-defence excuse can't cover up her action anymore. I think she still doesn't realized herself that her moral is lower each time her dark skills upgraded. That I believe is because she thinks this new world is merely an RPG game; and after the disclosure of the admins it might well be, who knows. In a game humans are not really humans; they are either playable characters (controlled by players outside the game) or NPCs (Non Playable Characters). So either of them is fair game. The same applies to non human characters like Kumoko. While this world is indeed structured like an RPG game it doesn't look like the "characters" are controlled by outside gamers; they look like they have their own free will. If everyone in this world has flesh and blood and when they die there is no second life then this world only has the appearance of a game but is not a game (just like , though I've only watched its fist two seasons). Kumoko does not appear to get such subtleties though, or she just doesn't care. Above all she just wants to survive. I think she knows that if she dies once there is no second chance (apparently, I am an anime-only watcher). Panzer92 said: It's pretty clearly hinted that the monster who destroyed fortress (and probably killed hero) is Kumoko. Which means does not become demon lord... On the other hand it's also hinted she is demon lord in future. So one is bait. If the Demon Lord is indeed Kumoko then transforming back to spider form -which might well be her true form, even 15 years into the future- should be easy for her. On the contrary, managing to transform the other way around should be much more difficult and will probably take her many years to accomplish - perhaps almost the entire 15 years of the time gap, since we found out previously that the Demon Lord brat rose to her post recently. I am just being hypothetical and I do not really know either way, nor want to spoiled. Whether Kumoko is the Demon Lord or not what is certain is that Oka-chan lied that Kumoko (or rather the Japanese girl she used to be) has died in the future. If Kumoko is the Demon Lord Oka-chan knows this and lies that she died so that the other students do not find out she is the boss of the bad guys. If she is "Queen Taratect" in the future Oka-chan lied so that her classmates do not find out she is a monster. What's also certain is that if Kumoko had not raised her stats to very high levels (as Oka-chan advised her students) she would have 100% died in that cave and counted among the 4 dead classmates (who must in reality be 3). |

Kumoko cannot speak, she doesnt have a voice, she just make weird spider sounds, D was simply reading her mind, so basically every time we hear Kumoko speaking shes either doing it in her mind or just making some spider noises |
| I wonder how that battle was presented in the novel. I mean, from the point of view of the strongest magician it would definitely be like that. |
| Not gonna lie, i am loving this way more than i expected. So now i know for sure that what we are seeing is from Kumoko is at least 15 years outdated, and that worries me how x100OP she could get in that time! That ending is already enough i guess xD And i love how they tell her story indirectly with the humans who are trying to hunt the "legendary beast" who became even more legendary xD Julius apparently is dead, and i am still not sure yet about that statement. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| I'm baffled lowkey thought it was the demon queen girl but after seeing the ending it all makes sense 22:10 around here she explains it was her all along damn so ok what about the white glowing small spider the hero dude fought previous episodes ago who the heck was that then?? this series has so much potential i like the way its building up things reminds me of slim kun more iseaki where humans are turned into monsters i kinda like this setting more than humans coming back as a human etc |

linkhuesitos said: LeviathanTheEsp said: I wonder how that battle was presented in the novel. I mean, from the point of view of the strongest magician it would definitely be like that. In the novel we see this battle from both POVs (1 chapter for each POV). Ronandt POV is pretty much identical to what happened here in the anime. Kumoko POV is basically this: - Kumoko: I'm going to scare them a little /*use curse evil eye*/ - /*Soldiers die*/ - Kumoko: WTF why did they died to so quickly? Wait! They give a lot of EXP!! - /*Soldiers try to escape*/ - Kumoko: No! My free EXP is running away!! - /*Slaughter them*/ check her titles when Ronandt appraise Kumoko. One of her titles will teld you why she didn't had any problem with killing them. Yeah I read the manga so I know how the battle was from Kumoko's point lol. |
