| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Heh, a silly problem turned into a funny drama. Trying to fix up a teared up cat stuffed animal sounded easy but from this episode, they had to also get the supplies. Cute and funny episode especially Rino. |

| Shizuru or Nino? When Yuuki was attacked by Shadow, I thought Yuuki would die but a girl named Shizuru came and rescued, who was she? Claiming to be Yuuki's Onee-chan, even though I like those wings, Otoutou-kun.  They tried hard to get the doll that wanted by Kyaru, the hotdog did taste good especially given a lot of sauce. Besides Shizuru, there was a girl named Nino. She claimed to be Yuuki's imouto, even though they both seemed to get along. I like the scene of Shizuru banging her head on Nino, it makes Nino forget her memories. They think Yuuki was kidnapped in fact Yuuki tried to complete the quest, the quest this time was successful and finally they could grant Kyaru's request. The shadow gets stronger when given a mask. |
| Well, breaking through the window because she didn't realize Karyl was just trying to sleep in is such a Pecorine thing to do, but I gotta ask, why not just kick down the door instead? xD |

| Don’t skip the end credits, post credits scene! I think shizuru and rino are my new fave characters! So this season we have Bakarine, Bakarina and Bakaguya lol. Instead of breaking the window it would’ve been easier to use magic on the door or just kick the door in. Someone should meme that scene and add the “FBI open up” audio over it lol. Overall great episode today, loved the contrast between Karyl’s master and her guildmates. She went out of her way to bring those flowers only to get them called filth and told to throw them away. In contrast, her friends went on a quest and repaired her stuffed animal to make her feel better. That’ll make you question your allegiance. Hoping we get more of Yuki‘s backstory with his sisters in the last two eps. Sad it’s ending soon! |
 |
| The Shadows has started its recourse...towards Yuuki, and someone or two (Chizuru and Nino) "claiming" to be Yuuki's big sister(s) and watching over him...what a twist of events. Utterly hilarious when the simple plan to wake Karyl up becomes one of which her stuffed animals is carelessly torn in the process by Pecorine. Oh well, a trip to the town to find materials to fix the doll. As for Karyl though, her loyalty to the Queen of Shadows knows no bounds, and the message is ever so clear, that she does not desire beautiful things, but one of pure evil and conceit. God I really pray that Karyl can be brought out of this "slave" situation fast and quick. Pretty please, Kamisama??? For Nino and Shizuru to be on the offensive though (Shizuru's memory-erasing headbutts are SUPER effective), that was quite funny. But with the Shadows, Yuuki grows one step closer to imminent danger. What presents itself as danger...can be summed up as "As soon as Pecorine shows up, everyone retreats in fear". But to think that Yuuki would complete the quest BY HIS OWN, I'd say that's his character development grown well and being independent and capable. One thing's for sure, this will NOT be the last time we'll see Shizuru and Nino. Marinate1016 said: It's VERY IMPORTANT! Hidden characters surface that surfaces the plot in the last 2 episodes.Don’t skip the end credits, post credits scene! A pretty good episode as usual. Had more fun. |

| Ah Eriko deserves better than Yuuki that avoids her and her perfectly waifubility. Kyaru cute as ever. |
 |
| Cygames should make horror lol, that shadow teleporting was spooky af. I am not surprised Yuuki got vietnam flashbacks upon seeing Eriko lol. |
| Why you nerds saying Nino it's Rino. |
| Shizuru should try to give a headbutt to Yuuki, Maybe that can bring his memories back. Pretty cute episode. So many Kokkoro's O x O. I love it. Yuuki's sisters are cute as well. Finally he said two or three lines besides "hmm". LOL |
 |
| So the simple errand of finding materials to fix Karyl's doll ends up becoming another adventure. We have Rino and Shizuru who are claiming to be Yuuki's sisters, but ended up tracking down the shadows that were appearing in town. Shizuru seems to be aware that Yuuki lost his memories so them being sisters might be true. Yuuki managed to do a quest all by himself so maybe he's not so useless after all. |
 |
| I really thought that Yuuki was kidnapped or something like that but he was doing a quest alone haha really fun episode |
 |
| My word that was one powerful headbutt! Shizuru seems to be just as much as an oddball as Pecorine! I wonder if Shizuru and Rino are part of Yuuki's previous adventuring party, or if they are actually related! Stop reporting Kyaru! You've become so much better than that!! Poor thing doesn't have it easy, had to even throw those flowers away after they wilted.. Yuuki completing a quest, simply running into it by accident cause he saw Eriko XD Kyaru's favorite plush has been repaired!! That smile is so precious at the end!! Post credit scene was interesting, more new character that are definitely gonna be involved with the final episodes! |
 |
| All for a stuffed animal and all for the sake of getting breakfast hot and ready. |
 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. |
| So the reason he dropped his hot dog and disappeared was because he saw crazy demon hospital girl, Eriko. LOL |
 |
| Well the anime took it own route which is not bad, it's cute even if it didn't follow the anime story. |
 |
| @HeroVladimir93 It's doesn't... The story is in the game not the anime. Anime is pretty much full on SoL comedy. If you want spoiler from the game. Here it is. Read at your own risk! You've been warne. (I just copied and paste this from somewhere else) |

| @HeroVladimir93 Konosuba staffs never adapt the whole story :X |
|
| That shadow was creepy & spooky AF.... Headbutting onee san was wonderful <3 we need more eriko D: |

It is impossible to do a one to one adaptation of the game. In the game, almost all of the characters that appear, already know the protagonist. Whether it be Hatsune, or Saren, or Lima, or Kyouka, or Mimi, or Misogi, etc. There is typically no introduction, and often there is little or no interaction between the girls and the main cast (Kyaru, Kokkoro, Peco), though there are exceptions. The game has a main story section, and also a character story section. If you acquire a character you can read their character story. Outside a few exceptions, the character story is where the character is meeting the protagonist for the first time, and it's where they have a little side quest or side story about that character. All the character stories though, are just the protagonist and the single girl, one on one. So what are they going to do? Just have episode after episode of Yuuki-kun by himself with a different girl each week, and then do the main story after that? It would probably still have the problem of "when are they going to get to the story" and it would be like 50 episodes long. Or should they just only adapt the main story? You know how the two new girls this week, Shizuru and Rino already knew the protagonist calling him their brother and whatnot? It would be like that, except he would already know them too, but for everybody. And often times their stories would be isolated not even involving Kyaru, Peco, and Kokkoro. And sometimes not involving Yuuki-kun himself either. I'm sure you can see how neither approach would result in a particularly great show. So I understand why they are doing it the way they are doing it. They are trying to make a show that is fresh and enjoyable to people who have played the game, and also trying to make sure that people who haven't, aren't left behind. Characters are introduced in groups and often get their own little story, and all of the main cast is involved and in every episode. They also clearly have not forgotten about the main story, what with Kyaru and her boss, the shadows, Yuuki's flashbacks, Neneka and Labyrista, etc. It's quite clear though that most, if not all, main story stuff wouldn't be until a second season. Of course, I think it would've been better if it was just a 2 cour series from the beginning and they had paced stuff out better. |
Saku_k said: Maybe I misheard, xD.Why you nerds saying Nino it's Rino. |
| Oh come on, how could he run away from Eriko. I was hoping to see more of her but dumbasses take most of the screen time. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Yay, Labyrinth girls, Shizuru and Rino. I love them. Didn't think they'd appear this season because they're plot-related and missing in the OP. Both really care for the protag in their own clumsy ways in game. And Asumi Kana's voice acting as Rino is very cute. I can't get enough of the two shouting "Onee-chan power!", "Imouto power!" when using their UB in battle. But it's a shame they couldn't insert in a line where Rino says her proverbs wrong per her habit. I was kinda waiting for that to see how translators'll mess that up. Grr, this episode reminds me that I couldn't get Alice-Rino in last event. This is the first episode where protag said the most, lol. His VA is getting bored maybe? Or character development? Reminds me of God Eater protags who only speak at the endgame. Judging from the title, it's obvious that next episode will be focused on Labyrista and her flashback so... Plot? I'm wondering how they'll give spotlight to remaining guilds who appeared in the OP in just 2 episodes. It's pretty much confirmed that we can kiss goodbye to Lucent Academy and Weiss Flugel who didn't even make it to the OP but there's still Caon, Carmina, Nightmare and Twinkle Wish. (Altho TW'll most likely be used as a cliffhanger to tease next season.) Not to mention there're still missing members of debuted guilds like Anna and Ruka from Twilight Caravan or Ayane and Kurumi from Sarendia... It seems impossible at this point tbh. Saku_k said: They probably watched raw and guessing from the pronunciation considering how early they're to the episode. Now I'm numb to name-misspelling since "Karyl" incident :DWhy you nerds saying Nino it's Rino. HeroVladimir93 said: While I completely relates to your frustration, give up and let it rest now. It's already 11th episode and even if they go main story at this late, the best thing we'll get is an announcement for S2 or worst, "go play the game" ending. I complaint exactly like you in early episodes and I'm still here. And dropping a show at this late sounds like a waste. Some people above have already quoted you possible answers to why they didn't do main story so I'm not gonna repeat but if I were to agree with you and complain, it'd be that they should remove all main story elements and aim for pure SoL route if they wanted to do comedy since from the start. Delete amnesia from the protag (or his existence in general), take out Kyaru's interaction with her "boss", neglect "Shadows", don't mention "Lost", and they can still do comedy just fine. There's no problem if this gets S2 focusing on main story but if it didn't, these elements will all look like "baiting" to play the game. You don't seem like a game player so I get it'd be more frustrating for you. Even for me, if I didn't have my tremendous love for some characters from playing the game, this show'll probably end up as only 6/10 or 7/10 the most. But hey, at least the two characters who showed up in this episode's post-credit scene are very major plot-related ones in game.What's it gonna take for Princess Connect! Re:Dive to finally commit to its main story? This show has enough material to make a good story across an entire season, but instead, it devotes all of its energy into comedy. After 11 episodes, I think this show is starting to lose steam. The only things that keep me from dropping this show is that the comedy is hilarious and the characters are likeable. Now that we're reaching the endgame, I genuinely hope this show can turn things around. __________________ On another note, stop giving that side character with Kazuma's VA and those fatass mobs too much screentime. It's funny at first, but now it's reaching "not these guys again" territory. There're other mobs and NPCs who're better-looking than them in game. |

I let it slide last episode when a couple people were referring to Ilya as Irina, but now two people in this thread saying Nino instead of Rino and I had to know why. Thought maybe there were bad subs or something. |
Saku_k said: What @Renkini said was true, They call Rino like Nino. I am not someone who has ever played this game, let alone always checking official fandom. in the previous post it was the same, it sounded like Irina in my ear. Next time I will be careful, surely.I let it slide last episode when a couple people were referring to Ilya as Irina, but now two people in this thread saying Nino instead of Rino and I had to know why.

| Lol I feel bad for Eriko. |
 |
| The SoL or whatever is fine. The rest of it is just hints and half setups that the show hasn't really explored at all. |
| Probably one of the best episodes Special effects and animation were on point as always. The CGI was very well implemented. Never expected Yuuki to have two sisters. I really really love how they are handling things: adding some random plot points, overarching plot, etc... If only it had more than 13 episodes... I hope a second season will be announced because I’m curious what the main story is about. Ending scene was kinda emotional for me ideky Butterfly lady looks cute |

| Shizuru and Rino are funny, this is getting even better. ^^ Glad to see Kyaru stuff toy got fixed. She should stop working for that queen evil queen. And lastly, Eriko deserves more screentime! The face of terror Yuuki makes when see her, is very similar to when Shidou see Kurumi in Date A Live anime. :D |
| I am not a huge fan of this episode tbh. It felt nothing is accomplished, n nothing is explained. This episode give a lot more new questions for people who dunno about the games, n i don't think there are enough episodes left to explain it all. Whatever, at least i'm finally able to add Miyako Pudding-chan into MAL Characters database, and add her as my fav anime character. ^_^ https://myanimelist.net/character/183394/Miyako Btw, do u spot Ayumi's cameo in this episode? @theENTER |

This episode in a nutshell XD  I adore all the characters in this series. |
theENTER said: I barely found her at 10:26, she is becoming more sneakier than before.. i guess..p.s. judging for the next episode preview is also about labyrinth guild and/or some plot revealing... (still waiting for Kaon and Twinkle wish..) Lol, i don't realize she is in this scene before u told me XD  Nah, i don't think the scene after this episode ending represent preview for the next episode. It's more like a conclusion for strangeness of this episode, and the real preview is released every friday in youtube/twitter anyway. It's so weird that Caon Guild has pretty big appearance in the OP, but hasn't appeared yet in any episode somehow. |

| @xkazutox @Saku_k @HeroVladimir93 Now I find it irony that a game that's already 50% anime is being difficult to be adapted into an anime, haha. |

Helck is already completed several years ago, n it's pretty funny n heartwarming action fantasy manga. In the other hand, Ragna Crimson is full epic action thrilling fantasy manga, to bad the translation is so slow, that i dunno whether its still continue to be translated or not.I have both series in my Plan to Read :P but personally I heard a lot of good things about Helck so I will try read them during less busy time between current anime seasons. :) |

| No Yui? That's expected. Yui gets no love... But no Kaon? I'm giving this anime a 1 if there's no Kaon. Why is it in the opening?! |
| What better way to start the episode than with Pecorine entering Kyaru's room right through the window lol. So we finally see some of Yuki's old acquaintances, who are not her teammates because if I remember correctly, these were voiced by Nao Touyama, Saori Hayami and Risa Taneda. And well, it seems that both are quite the brocon and they love the protagonist quite a lot... in many ways ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). Oh, and one of them looks like the onee-chan version of Unicorn from Azur Lane, I love her design <3. Also, those headbutts lmao. Yuki's reaction to seeing Eriko is comedy gold, I laughed for a while xD. But how dare he run away from best girl! At least this led to him doing a quest on his own to get the necessary material they were looking for. I like it when he acts on his own and is more talkative, that was a nice moment. It was weird to see him talking almost normally though. Kyaru's smile when her friends returned melted my heart <3. One of my favorite episodes, I loved it! |
| Quite a wholesome episode! Glad it didn't turn out the way I expected it too and stuck to the usual fluff |
| Ah, i just wished that Yuuki really lost and never returned again. But, nope. He even came back with the ingredients. Yep, one useful thing he could do. Its nice, actually, but why?? Lol with his encounter with that demond girl from the pyscho guild hospital. And that fight against the same fat cunt bandit still amusing to fill the intenses moment before. Great transition! Ah, forgot to told it about Another guild. I guess, they had a nice character design and quite chilling personality. Idk with what they said about Yuuki were real or not. No back story for aqequatting their concession, so yeah, its still blurred to me. Poor Karyl had a lot of negative thinking toward her master. Atleast she got a nice present from Ahokrine and the others. So, yeah, its still a nice episode, tbh. Also, that girl behind the scenes slowly began irritating me. Could she revealing herself, or atleast had some monologue? I kinda annoyed with the mystery she was hiding till now. Oh, well, then, let just hope some nice progressing on the next last episodes! |
