| So Ariel (the Demon Lord) and Kumoko are not the same person after all, as the new OP also showed, despite multiple suggestions earlier that they were. So all the suggestions were red herrings.. What I don't get is this : since Ariel is apparently one of the 25 students that were reincarnated how on Earth was she so hyper-OP 14 - 15 years ago and, er, not a baby either? Does this mean that Ariel is the admin D who co-created this world? D is the only student who was not reincarnated, so unless Ariel grew hyper-duper-exponentially in less than a year she can only be D (unless she is not a student, but if she isn't how does she know the new Hero Shlain from his previous life?). The reason Ariel attacked Kumoko is apparently because she sees her as a future threat to her, since they are both the same species (Taratects). Where Kumoko is now Ariel once was (somehow). I thought Kumoko was OP but then I saw the stats of Ariel... Ariel either sees Kumoko as a threat or wants to test her - or just wants to be entertained if she is D. Since Kumoko is not Ariel she must presently be the beautiful "white woman" with the spidey eyes who killed the previous Hero. I think this was the humanoid form of the Queen Taratect that annihilated some other castle (this was only mentioned). Which would mean that if Kumoko is currently an ally of Ariel she must be her second in command - and apparently the second most powerful being of this world. Either that or Oka-chan is not lying and Hiiro Wakaba (who almost certainly is Kumoko) is currently dead, though I strongly doubt that. That would mean that the lead of the show is dead in the present time, which would be unheard of. All in all a very exciting episode, with a ton of new information! I think the most predictable part of the episode is the revelation that a "Humanification" skill exists in this world/system. |

| oh shit... immortal is great in all.. until your forever trapped in a cell lolz. |
 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. |
Evolution complete! Wow! Kumoko is now an immortal champion. Since Fei became humanoid, there's a huge possibility that Kumoko can be humanoid as well, just like Demon Lord Ariel who's OP af. It's funny that Kumoko's head is flying, lmao, but since she's now an immortal I guess she's still ok. lmao. Kumoko vs Ariel will be epic. |
| I wish they can spend more effort drawing the human side because in some frames they look like absolute turd. The close up zoom in they look absolutely stunning but when they are moving and stuff they look kinda garbage sometimes. Also not fond of 3D Ariel. She looked amazing being drawn in 2D from earlier episodes. 3D makes her look like she's from some old Naruto game at best. |
 |
| Human form Fei is pretty damn cute, not gonna lie. She and Katja makes the human side a bit more bearable. HYPE! Ariel vs Kumoko next week, that's gonna be good I hope. Noticed that the scene with Ariel in it, was in 3DCGI. So hoping for a full 3D fight, cause what the human side showed us in ep 14, I don't want this fight to be ruined by atrocious animation. |
 |
| Fei in human form,AND THEN,in a swimsuit to boot!!!!! - In a word,CUTE!!! And damn,the demon lord turns up,and Kumo gets diced,and she did it while Kumo was in relaxation mode too,evil bitch! |
 |
| Finally, we got some more story explanations. Since Fei managed to get humanification, i really hope we can see it soon on Kumoko! Also, can't believe i was so wrong about that DL, i really thought she was powerless when compared to Kumoko, i was so wrong lmao, but it's not like she will be able to kill her xD Also can't believe that she indeed is immortal now, that's so broken. I really can't wait for the next episode! |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| The whole water setting had a really nice feel to it and worked well with that final scene |
 |
| Gonna love how the anime decided to skip the last possible fanservice scene that the anime could reach. In a nutshell in this episode we should have seen: - Jealous Katia (Yes, she thirsty for Shun's D) - Katia pressing her boobs in Shun's back - The swimsuits should have been damaged for the breaths shock wave It was also funny Oka doesn't giving a shit for her damaged swimsuit and enjoying seeing the whole Shun disaster (the points above). She fucking loves tropes so it was like christmas to her.  btw the other skipped fanservice scene was a conversation between Katia and Yuri in the changing room of the academy. It wasn't really all that fanservicy 'cuz it was mostly focused on what Yuri thinks of Katia's situation and that she still see her a Kanata-kun (i.e. a boy) so she doesn't feel ok changing in front of her. |

| Fishing Spider simulator was fun lol. Gave me vibes of Big ol' Bass when you could catch monster like fish at the end stage. As for the ep itself I'm highly interested to see where it goes next |
| Kumoko finally knows that her classmates also reincarnated and woa so the admin was also one of her classmates. Fei finally turned into a human and dang she's cute. Also Fei x Schlain ship? Noice. Finally Ariel vs Kumoko fight, let's go. |
 |
| Phew. What a paragraph. Please ignore this. This is really unimportant to read. Damn. Honestly, a lot of shit happened through this episode. I almost not catching up anything in these single one episode. Even i got to see the classic beach sceneries for both side in these kind of series. Lol. Good shit with Kumoko instead of having fun in the beach sand, or swim, the spider just fishing the water dragon without giving any shit. Kumoko got a cute spider appearance again with Zana Horowa design. Kek at the skill and the additional title, really an entertaining way of evolution. But, hell, man, that was surely a hype when they finally cleared out the previous misunderstanding. Kumoko is truly a different entity with Ariel, the Origin Taratect level 139, titled the Demon Lord. Was this Ariel the one that get mentioned by D, or different shit? Its may different. If different, and Ariel was one of them, then, man, whoever Ariel before, she really skillful than Kumoko for sure. I hope they can keep up to revealed more story! About the D story. That was surely a nice gift. The demon lord-hero history kinda intriguing. The story can be repeated, and perhaps Ariel with that information may intentionally used it to be cooperated, and not just killing each other like previously. Thats why Julius killed first and let Shun got the title. But, since it sounds ridiculous, i take it back that shit and let the story flow again til it revealed. Or, Ariel just simply more entertainment by battling the former friend? Again. I dunno anything. But, its not hurt having a little nonsense, right? Anyway, as expected, i am obviously loved the Fei humanification. The long awaited scene acquired, even though the battle with the water dragon really lame. But, yeah, that's it the form of her humanity. The rest in the left is Kumoko. So, yeah, can't wait for the shit to happen too. It will be a long hella journey before that. |
 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  |
| I'm kind of annoyed that they don't explain why the immortality is such a big deal and no one managed to get there before, especially since it was basically pure luck for Kumoko. Finally Ariel shows up to protect her children and boy oh boy is she going to get frustrated soon. |
| god damned !! the cliffhanger so triggering me af !!! ariell in 3D animation is kinda cool and smooth !!! |
| Fuck, that episode went by so fast, great episode! Good to see D again and since she was on a good mood, she explained some shit. One notable thing she mentioned is that the students reincarnated into someone that suited their soul the most. So, I guess with that note, Kanata reincarnated into Katia because he had the soul of a woman to begin with I guess. I n t e r e s t i n g. I wonder why Kumoko turned into a spider though, what kind of person was she to turn into a spider? Well, we'll know later on. Human form Fei looks cute as hell, glad the human side looked alright visually. Ariel's 3D model looks so fucking good, if she's called the origin taratect, that means she's g r a n d m a ! Boy, good thing Kumoko's eternal now, even Ariel's destroy-spider button ain't gonna work. Really looking forward to the next episode! Ariels stats are fucking insane though. Her atk, defense, magical abilities are like more than 10x Kumoko's stats, Jesus. |
 |
| Welp we finally found out what happened to the classmates. |
 |
| Administrator D has spider self-destruct button. That made me laugh. lol disturb Kumo while fishing, water dragon get stabbed in the neck. got bored at the human parts.. looking forward to more Kumoko action next week! :) |
| Odd that the gore at the end of this episode was censored. To all the people that seem to be confused by this series: Just read the light novels. |

linkhuesitos said: Living in a girls body for 16 years can change a person.... I don't think this has anything to do with the time spent as a girl. D said that all students were reincarnated in a form which is the closest to their soul's one : meaning that Katia's former self, Ooshima Kanata, was already identifying herself as a girl. And this makes even more sense when Katia insists that she could go with the two other girls to find Fei's new outfit, since she's not a boy to begin with. |
linkhuesitos said: Crossraider said: i thought hugo did that because he was just on a massive power trip. If i had to abilty to get overpowered just from killing some monsters i would tolallty abuse it. Hugo's explanation Katia used to be a guy lol Living in a girls body for 16 years can change a person.... Also, Katia's male personality died in episode 14. Shun revived Katia but not without Side effects, I suuppose they can stiill expand on these background info. My oonly grip was Ariel being in CGI out of the blue and the censoring they added to Kumoko severed body by Ariel... unecessary to say the least |

And this makes even more sense when Katia insists that she could go with the two other girls to find Fei's new outfit, since she's not a boy to begin with. The problem is that most of the information about Katia's case was skipped by the anime... Along with a fuck ton of useful information from Shun story. Like, we know that Fei bullied Wakaba Hiro but we don't know why. The reason is literally said during Shun and Fei first meeting. Anyway this is Katia's suicide from episode 14 told from Katia's POV Note: This is no way all the information of Katia but I won't copy all the chapters from her POV This phenomenon doesn't have an official name but I like to call it "Soul Adaptattion", whenever your soul ends in a body that's different from the original one the soul will try to adapt to its new body. This happened to all the irregular reincarnations (Fei, Katia, Kumoko, Sophia and one more that hasn't being introduced). Fei was the classic popular girl who's life was made entirely by fashion, friends and boys; but after some time after the reincarnation Shun asked Fei if she didn't had any problem with seeing him changing clothes. Fei answered saying that after some time she just stopped feeling any kind of attraction towards human bodies and some time later she started to became obsessed with becoming stronger and evolving into a true dragon. The same happened with Kumoko, in the novel after some time it start to be obvious how she's slowly losing her humanity. In the novel during the carriage attack by bandits Kumoko even contemplated the idea of just killing both the bandits and bodyguards (people inside the carriage included) to gain double EXP. |

YeahImGone said: now the lil romance subplot with fei WTF! There're only 2 characters that have romantic feeling towards Shun and those are Katia and Sue. In one of the skipped episodes one of the first things Fei told Shun was that he's not her type and it was later reinforced when Fei told Katia that after some time of being a Dragon she stopped feeling anything towards humans. Volume 2 - Interlude: The Duke's Daughter and The Earth Wyrm and the swimsuit fanservice Technically speaking that scene wasn't all the fanservicy that it could be, in the original scene the girls are blushed not because Shun is hugging Fei but because the Breaths Shock Wave damaged the swimsuits of everyone (males included). |
| Instead of all these Immortality business and Human Dragon. I am more interested in where I can get a blow up doll of Kumo when she was sing her Immortal song. LOL Also, CHAM-PEEN... I think Kumo's ego's literally through the roof, at least 4 parallel minds high. And... hmm... so the Demon Lord wasn't Kumo, but was a Demon Lord since 15 years ago... huh... |

| (I'm a WN reader) Damn damn damn DAMN! I swear smile on the phone belongs to Baba Okina-sensei-sama. (Dangerous Spoiler - ONLY for those who read much further in the series. Multi-layer protection added.) With the discussion between D and Kumoko finished, everyone should be aware that being the hero doesn't make you the best or always right. Shun: "It reminds me that we really did die." Me: So you knew the whole time? You put no effort in since rebirth and you still aren't putting much effort in even after receiving the Hero title. <insert rage-face smiley> Grandmother, Demon Lord Ariel has APPEARED! With one theory shattered, another will come to light! |

| A lot of people are sleeping on this anime and they are really missing out. Brill episode. Really liking the development. Coming from the studio who notoriously did the recent berserk anime they have really stepped up there game. |
| It's a dang shame a better studio didn't pick this up because if it had even a decent quality adaptation people wouldn't sleep on the series so much. Its so good, and I don't really mind the CG honestly. At this point they should have just done the entire thing with high quality CG so the 2D bits didn't look so awful at times. Those human bits tho. . . 16 episodes in and I still don't give a damn lol At this point I'm only excited to see their paths cross so they can see Kumoko kick ass. |
Bfun2468 said: Will kumoko be able to defeat her? Will the demon lord be able to do damage on kumoko? What's Kumoko's human form gonna be like??? What is mother going to dooo????? Can't wait for the next episode already!!! And one question I really want an answer on: Why is the demon lord made with CGI??  Thanks to this anime every time I see mother I read it as "MAR_ZA" in my mind |
uncleqrow said: Huh? The anime adapts from the LN, right? So there're already some minor changes happened from the WN version I found here: 1. The reason the water dragon attacks Shun's party. I guess in the LN version the dragon just instinctively attacks them? I like the WN version better btw. In the WN the dragon doesn't even bats an eye on Shun's party at first, but then Shun uses appraisal on it, which in turn angers it, hence the attack. 2. Shiraori/Kumoko vs Ariel. According to the anime, and by extension the LN, Shiraori/Kumoko first met Ariel during her fishing trip. In the WN though, she was ambushed just outside of Sophia's town. After saving Sophia and her parents (the town's lord), Shiraori/Kumoko is regarded and revered to as a divine beast by the residents.So she builts a nest there. While goofing around in her nest, her guards was down, and Ariel ambushed her. The anime adapts the novel, but it re-ordered some events in the anime. |
