Finally, it took this many episodes but Ryza and her friends face off against a competent monster. In this case, it's a dragon and I remember from the games that there was a difficulty spike.

Still pretty much the usual stuff, not much change in terms of the show's elements although this episode definitely felt more serious than the others.

Ryza and the gang finally encounter some actual strong monsters eh?

After clearing their second task, Ryza and her friends receive the final challenge. The challenge involves heading north along the highway to a fork in the road, and returning faster than their competitor. That competitor turns out to be Bos. Despite an early accident where they rescue a wagon that had skidded off, the group manages to reach the halfway point smoothly. With only overtaking Bos, who had taken the lead, left to do, an explosion suddenly resounds near the ruins of an old highway, and find themselves battling a dragon

With Klaudia's dad finally letting Klaudia continue her adventures with Ryza, I'm interested to see where we'll go from here!

That something would happen to the arrogant guy was obvious but it still seems like he has something against Ryza despite the fact that she saved his life.
And then there is the dragon that suddenly appeared which seems to cause some anxiety on the island, a good opportunity for Ryza to prove her worth.

Btw are the VAs in this same as in the game?
What would Bos get out of the competition tho? What would he get if he won? Just pride I guess

Nice to Ryza and the gang save Bos from the dragon and even better that she passed the final test and can spend more time with Klaudia

Another solid Thighza episode! Ryza and the gang successfully pass the final test and Klaudia is able to join them going forward.

I’m kinda confused on why Bos took part in the final test though. Did he just want to show up Ryza and her squad or pride or what? He’s gonna be even more annoying now that they saved him from the monster attack lol. Tsundere didn’t even want to say thank you. I feel like he just wants to be part of the group.

The dragon on the island is probably going to be the biggest challenge yet for Ryza and her friends. It’ll take them putting together everything they’ve learnt to take that down.

Things went mostly the same here as they do in the game, I think there’s a bit where Ryza helps the fishermen before the final test but it’s not a big deal that they skipped that, but the encounter with the dragon here was pretty awesome, there actually isn’t a scuffle with it in the game tho, it kinda just leaves them alone but seeing Ryza try to fight it here in the anime was pretty cool. It was also cool seeing the dragon not CGI, I was wondering how they’d do him and he looks pretty nice.

It was also nice hearing Lumbar speak again, ever since I watched “Gurazeni” I can’t unhear Bonda so it’s nice hearing the VA lol, and of course Bos isn’t happy that he was saved by Ryza during his attempt to get a win on her. And despite the dragon attack, Klaudia has finally been given permission by her dad to hang with Ryza and the gang, it took a while but it was worth it.

So far, they are indeed the same! I’m really glad they managed that.

Bringing down Ryza, Tao and Lent would've been his reward.
Bos was really something in the first game...

thicc thighs saves lives...literally

With the next episode supposedly being the one for Ryza and co. defeating the dragon, i wonder how the last 2 episodes are going to go considering how we still have not reached the important part of the story? Maybe we will get a second cour...

previously, they have a monster problem. Now they have a dragon problem. Only good thing is the dragon trashed the arrogant guy.

well, and we can see now the true @sshole in the village. When a great danger appear, religious fanatic would use the situation in their agenda. Hope this priest is the next one to be trashed by the dragon.

Klaudia finally allowed by her dad to join the adventuring team. Well, he has a positive view of Ryza and friends now.

looking forward to next week. ^^

That is a huge step up going from these wimpy little cute monsters to a big bad dragon nearly killing the whole lot

Episode was just ok imo. Personally don't think its a good idea to decide to trust a group of people with your daughter by sending them on a race to see if they'll come first or not.

I wish the anime had been slower paced. We went from Lent having a hard time against slimes to the group being able to fend off a dragon. I get this anime is focusing on Ryza (and her thighs), but I still think it should have spent more time highlighting their adventures, like in episode 1. You could almost consider this entire season as filler with them just helping with odd jobs.

I dislike it when anime do their best to make a character extremely dislikable, as we see with Bos. I get he's an antagonist, but that shouldn't mean he has no good traits. And it seems like the villagers just kind of flung it in his face that Ryza is better with him, with Agatha's offhanded comment that "its fair if you include one of my guardians" and the doctor telling them the instant they woke up that they got Ryza to thank for that and they should thank her asap. And now that Bos has been soundly defeated by Ryza's group, we'll probably see more variety in how he talks to them. Or somehow he'll turn to the dark side and be further ostracized, but I doubt that.

Finally, I wish they hadn't made Ryza's group to already be overpowered. maybe I'm overreacting, but the way this episode sounded to me was that Ryza's group is already better than the guardians, whose sole purpose is to protect the village. They should have a lot of experience fending off monsters. Ofc one guardian probably shouldn't be able to defeat a dragon, but still. Lent literally makes his group flee from SLIMES. You'd think a guardian would at least be able to fend off the dragon for a brief period of time to let his charges escape.

good-ish episode, but the first half and second half were quite different.

the first half was okay. felt like it was just going through the motions.

the second half was great.

Empel and Lila are deep into their investigation, while Ryza, Tao, Lent and Klaudia are entrusted to the final test, though things slowly take turns for the better...and worse, like a dragon suddenly appearing out of thin air and caught Bos and Lumar offguard. The secret to that dragon though, lies with the ancient text on the stone that once broken, it wrangled free the dragon's control, and it flew away.

Unfortunately, having this dragon around Kurken Island would do no favors to all, and this problem needs to be resolved quick.

This test didn't go as smoothly with the appearance of that dragon, but at least the group was able to get everyone out safely.
Wonder if Lila and Empel will be able to deal with it.

Ryza was able to help that person in need because she pushed with all the might of her thighs
she also channeled her explosive voluptuousness into making that dragon realize she was the BOMB
