Chain-smoking Noto Mamiko with a foul mouth? Yes!
We also had another new character Touko-sensei the shogi player who was a supervisor to Futami-sensei’s manga. There is a trope that achievers don’t like being called geniuses, and I was afraid when she had a reaction to such Futami-sensei’s comment that she would get angry, but that ended up okay. She was very nice, though it seemed like she had a dark / mysterious side that she let slip out sometime.
Takeru: You see, this world is just like an otome game I play, and somehow I was reborn here as the villainess, but I’d have nothing of it and decided to use my powers to become a gatherer instead.
Clay:
Takeru: Oops, wrong isekai.
Not sure if “The Beautiful Maiden (可憐な乙女)” is a real-world symphony but I found it amusing they have Scarlet “dance” to one with such a name with the nobles.
可憐な is usually translated as lovely or sweet in these contexts but the kanjis 可 (can) 憐 (pity) invokes the image of somebody who you want to protect instead of this:
(Incidentally that’s probably why the phrase has the other meaning of pitiful / pitiable)
I forgot the twist too but I expected her to be more than just the mob villain by the way she was presented in the opening and ending songs.
In a world where level 100 is considered close to the limit of humans, I wonder what kind of power leveling allowed Light to reach his level in 3 years.
Let’s be fair: that Fenrir wasn’t fake, it was just a baby compared with its ancient ancestor.
There was so many different Garou faces in this episode, it was like he visually aged in front of the camera.
“We created this monster……”
Agree on utterly unlikable but he was supposed to be quite competent when dragons are not involved. He was an S-rank adventurer and guild master for probably at least decades after all.
I made the mistake of watching this with an empty stomach and now I feel even more hungry……
I thought talents are manifestations of blessings from the gods, but apparently not in this world. It is interesting that Mukouda was told that he had not much talent as a blacksmith while implying a blessing would not help him much.
Already OP Fel & Dora-chan getting 50% boosts?! Luckily Mukouda has them under control (barely) by their stomach. I suspect they’ll end up going to the dungeon though, despite Mukouda’s efforts.
Takeru did the usual person-from-isekai thing: after being told how precious something is, he made something extremely powerful with it and gifted it to the village while insisting he just want to relax and not to be noticed.
In the guild, nobody noticed Bee the dragon until Takeru pointed it out. Very observant adventurers.
Light built a town inside the Abyss in 3 years with only his gift. I suppose all those fairy maids and population are from his gacha too? And it seems they do eat so there is enough infrastructure / logistics to support that too, that’s how much power his gift has.
This episode was mostly introduction to the "four 9"s. Light has been training as well and supposedly got much stronger in these 3 years. It seems he is going to start his revenge next episode.
I saw Sonic in the credits and thought, did I miss his appearance? And there was a after credit part.
They could have been more explicit about why Sonic’s stomach got upset.
Only one punch in this episode! (2 if you count the poor wall)
Please, indulge yourself.
Watching this made me hungry and yearning for fried dumplings. The orc general kind if possible.
In the last episode the deity said Takeru already made a difference in the world. Now he saw the forest changed overnight but dismissed it. He was also able to create magic stones out of nothing so basically he can solve the world’s energy crisis (if it had one) single-handedly, and handle multiple monsters without breaking a sweat, and that is after the deity tempered his abilities.
We meet the manure-smelling starving elf who is in the opening so someone we’ll see again. Takeru might had been the “idols don’t go to the bathroom” type in his old world.
Ha ha, not the worst story that exists but there are definitely tons more better things to use your brain capacity on.
You guess is correct and I must have just missed or forgot they mentioned it. I also don’t remember the whole part from before he joined the party that betrayed him but it’s been quite a long time since I read the manga beginning.
Even if he didn’t have a choice, like when someone is offered a foul-looking dish to eat by some relative one can’t refuse, he could have shown the slightest bit of hesitation, but there was no hint of that.
Technically not an Isekai, just fantasy.
They seemed to have expanded upon the origin story compared to the manga (not sure about the LN which I’ve not read), and also gave a reason why Light’s gift was not useful until it did.
It would have been better story-wise that Light did not trust Mei right away. Remember he was just betrayed by the party he trusted and Mei was treating him extremely well for no apparent reason. But I guess we can’t expect too much from a power fantasy.
