So this episode has a slightly higher focus on Rishia.

First we get to see that Rishia came from a noble family, yet lead a more frugal life. Despite that her and her parents were happy, until Rishia was kidnapped since her parents couldn't pay off debts that were illegally placed on them. Then Itsuki came and saved her, hence why she has such high admiration for him.

Naofumi comes up with the plan of going on the Spirit Tortoise's back. That way they can one, look for its weakness and two, it will allow Oust to regain some memories that are fogged up. Conveniently, the Spirit Tortoise's back also has fog. From what I can tell when the real fog clears, So do Oust's memories.

The Queen and her Shadows find out there were some people living on the Tortoise awaiting its revival. They likely knew they would perish when the Tortoise came back to life. Raphtalia and Rishia took it pretty hard, especially Raphtalia given it looks like some of her demi-human fellows were some of the victims.

Regardless Naofumi's party alongside the Queen and her Shadows go inside the temple to learn more about the Tortoise. Everyone discovers that Rishia specializes in reading ancient writing, but Elrasla mentions that given Rishia's Ki, she could master Hengen Musou very soon.

Oust remembers that to defeat the Spirit Tortoise its heart must be taken out, and there's a path within the temple that leads directly to it. He asks Elrasla, Eclair, and the Queen (Mirelia Q. Melromarc) to stay back and command the army in case something goes wrong.

So Naofumi, Raphtalia, Rishia, Filo, and Oust go in. However on their way they run into some familiar faces in disguise. None other than L'Arc Beg, Therese Alexandrite, and Glass.

What's going to happen next. Will they start fighting? Who knows (except for those who watch the Sub, I'm a Dub watcher so I don't know).

this was actually the best episode so far because it delivered on some background and plot development instead of poorly animated battles. also i don't mind rishia.

Cardinal Heroes are forbidden from leaving the world they are in, they are the defenders of that world. Vassal Heroes are the attackers.
L'Arc, Glass and Kyo are Vassal Heroes.


That makes a lot of sense! I wished the anime explained this. I thought "vassal heroes" were the same as "cardinal heroes" but simply different names for different worlds.

Pretty Rishia focused ep with her short backstory along with the reveal about how to kill the God Tortoise. The Japanese writing left behind by a previous hero was cool, surprised it didn't make Naofumi feel homesick or nostalgic.

Ayy L'arc and Therese are back along with Glassu, interesting trio.

Rishia is really pathetic as a character.

Glass and others have appeared out of nowhere, eh?

I guess that's it. I don't feel invested anymore in this show. Time to drop it, however it wasn't as bad as I've been told.

I can really join in on the Rishia hate. All the talking and her emotional ups and downs take up soooo much time and add little to nothing to the show.
Despite that a pretty good episode drawing from the strengths of the OST of S1. Excited how Naofumi will measure up against the 3 since they were already afraid of how strong he would become.

It hurts me to say this because I loved Season 1 so much but so far this season has been absolutely shite.

This arc feels like it shouldn’t be taking up this much of the season as then there’s the fact that these random people have popped up and Naofumi just seems to trust them… which is MASSIVELY out of character for him.

Also Rishia…. She’s so fucking annoying and I really couldn’t care less about her. She’s not been developed as a character very well

I don't get it. The other three Cardinal Heroes clearly stated they wanted nothing to do with the Spirit Tortoise quest.

So how on Earth could they have ended up inside the Tortoise?
Did they change their mind and that was axed during editing? 🤔

Why is Naofumi surprised Glass is there? He already knows that she's adventuring with L'Arc and Therese.

The Shield Hero party is going inside the Spirit Tortoise. How can it still be alive after the head is gone?

Rishia can be annoying yet has her own redeeming quality. Now the Shield Hero has to content with the other World's hero party.

I don't know, I actually enjoyed this episode better than the other one, it seems they are starting to give some depth to the story. Still, the new characters are still like nobodies to me, the arc continues to make little sense, and the animation could be so much better. A pretty big downgrade from the 1st season in my opinion.
Look, it's the characters that appeared in the end of season 1, I don't even know if this will make the arc better or even worse. Maybe the 1st arc where Naofumi was all alone was the best thing here, and after that it just starts becoming like every other isekai? I hope not, I still have faith that the next arc is going to be better. It's already showing some signs of recovery I guess.
