| Looks like we got some background storytelling about Rishia and her connection with the bow hero. Kind of a sad story to hear when you hear about her banishment from the party. I kinda like how Rishia is doing whatever she can to be useful for Naofumi's party. Not exactly the most exciting episode but kinda important to know more about Rishia and plus, they made some progress on dealing with the Spirit Tortoise. Oh and Glass is back! |
 |
| That was a really big cliffhanger, L´Arc, Therese and Glass are back! The episode wasn´t the most intense but we get to see the rishia flashback that was necessary because she was introduce without a lot of explanation so now we know more about her. And is ti me or the first parte of the episode some of the faces were a bit poorly drawn? |
 |
| bruh I don't remember L´Arc, Therese and Glass, can someone remind me again? |
| Super mid yet again |
| Oh god who are you people? |

 |
| Looks like Glass is back. Some backstory from Rishia and how she meet the bow hero, that very sad. Also Rishia said that she is one of Naofumi なかま. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| Hey, look Rishia's backstory they brush over it but still didn't properly adapt all of it. Great job guys! This was a good episode actually as it bothers to flush someone out and give us the cool reveal. This is still a speedrun though. We should be done with this arc around episode 6 or 7. So, I hope this was worth it. |
| I had to change this because some loser couldn't make an actual argument. So....yeah I hope you guys like the new sig. |
| another boring episode, this season is really living up to my expectations in that way, it was obvious by the end of the first season.. My favourite moment of perhaps the entire season so far: Ost starts whiny dialogue and Naofumi just walks away lmao Glass is back huh, I guess its getting somewhat interesting? Though 1/3 of the cour is already over so it is about time. We got some backstory to Rishia but will we ever see why she wears her fursuits all the time? |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would describe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Rishia's backstory of being saved and betrayed by the Bow Hero Itsuki, I want to feel sorry for her but it just feels shallow. The Spirit Tortoise is not done yet, there's still its back to go, and even worse that it's shrouded with fog. Ost is the one that's in most danger now because of her position as its servant, but it's only by going in deeper will they know what to expect...and a village ravaged of people struck by the Spirit Tortoise that there're no survivors. The text itself where the seal was most likely to be broken in a temple, it's the Spirit Tortoise's story but written in Japanese by former Cardinal Heroes to warn them about the Rishia going with them to expect to see Itsuki again, that's a first step for her. It's a surprise for Naofumi and gang to see L'Arc, his companion Therese and Glass again, the Vassal Heroes whom we've seen in Season 1. What will these 3 have on their guises again??? |
|
| Very boring episode too much talking not enough action. |
  ❤ Incessant Rain ❤ “Can you let me have some fun this time?”  |
| After an awful first 3 eps we actually got a decent episode for once. Hard to evaluate eps independently when the season as a whole has been such a poor adaptation, but this was solid. I did enjoy the campfire scene quite a bit. Think the anime did a good job of showing you the impact Ost has had on Rishia. It’s hard to really feel her development tho because of how much the anime has skipped with the training arc and other bits of info, but she’s definitely grown. The meeting in the LN was way better.  |

| Naofumi asking the right? question. Even though he was sort of out of line. A slower episode this time. A bit of story on Rushia and her struggle. Still can't wrap my head around that chicken suit lol |

| Finally we get more of Risha's backstory and why she's loyal to the Bow hero. Overall I'd say this is a better paced episode. However before Risha came to pray with Ost she was getting distraught and got a pep talk from Eclair and Raphtalia she thanked Filo. Why Filo didn't say a Damm thing. That was just a really weird moment, and "Boy I sure wish someone got fired for that blunder." Nice to see L'arc, Threase, and Glass return. We're definitely going to see them team up in the next episode. |

No point to spoil you if you haven't. There heroes from the another world similar to the one Naofumi's in now. Glass was a wave antagonist in the earlier episodes, L'arc and Therese became temporary comrades of Naofumi during the island arc, before they betrayed him when the next wave came. |
PurpleMagic said: oohh okay thanks, I remembered Glass now, but not so much about L'arc and Therese, there might be flashback next episode to help some viewers to remember it, I hope.

| Naofumi's so close to the Queen that anyone using her as an excuse is already deemed as suspicious as fuck. |
| Well, Liscia's bit of backstory was somewhat interesting I guess, and seems like some previous S1 characters are back |
 |
| Had this dropped, but then I remembered that I want to see at least a bit more of L'Arc. C'mon Shield Hero, give me something. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Oh boy, time for Naofumi to team up with Glass only to find her not be as strong as when he battled her during the Calamity Wave. That's how RPG logic always works right |
| Why Rishia acts like a 5 year old kid all the time, though anyways atleast those three are back yet again. Pleasant surprise tbh. |

| This is some of the most mind-numbing stuff I've ever had to sit through. There is absolutely nothing in this stupid spirit tortoise arc that is remotely as interesting as anything in the first season. Who are these new people? Why is this arc even important? Why should I even care? It's a real shame, since this series had a little something going for it. |
not only readers, I'm just anime viewer and I'm disappointed, very disappointed by this season so far |

| Ya know.. So much happened in this episode while almost nothing happaned.. Who were those people living on Tortoise back? Why they dead? why people grieving? There isn't a single point in first 3 eps where they revealed that people were living on Tortoise back.. Atleast its nice to see Thicc Queen in her suit.. and oh! Glass is back! but.. I don't even properly remember her.. What role did she even played? lmao |

What role did she even played? lmao They already mentioned that the Spirit tortoise was located on the Spirit tortoise country and the turtle itself was on the capital, you just missed it. i swear at this point no one here has anything positive to say except to complain, last week people complained to much action was in it and in this weeks their is a lack of action. no is ever happy. |
| Green haired girl annoying AF! she got daddy issues/ battered wife syndrome obessessing over Itsuki. Pathetic. Hope she gets killed by him or a wave, please get rid of her. |
 |
| So thats how Rishia met Itsuki the idiot. Despite her role as a familiar it is true that during the battle to take down the tortoise Ost's actions did save a lot of lives. Finding a destroyed village on the turtle though was pretty unexpected but also pretty sad as well. If the seal had not been broken those people probably would have been still alive. Rishia may not be the best fighter but in studying and making use of that knowledge to help others is what makes her such an asset. Its nice seeing Rishia try to be braver by speaking up. Im also really liking the strong bond thats being forged between Ost and Rishia as well as both are serving to help each other overcome their respective trials. To think that we would meet L'arc, Glass and Therese so soon. Overall a decent ep but it looks like the studio rather than following the novels is streamlining the main narrative threads to make them more easily understood. Still by skipping the training sub arc at least they manage to cover the main events of v6 and get to v7. I wonder will they add L'arc's team into the forces trying to stop the tortoise when it awakens and attacks again. |

| Okay, I understand now why Rishia's so dead lock on Itsuki. Thanks to her backstory, at least my irritation will just be solely for that meh bow hero. Despite a lot of people getting disappointed, I'd like to say that the character backstory and developments made up to the lacking parts. I'd still give it a thumbs up. |

| Enjoyed this one, as I can feel the tension continuing to rise as the mystery of the tortoise continues to deepen. And now the three heroes from the waves are here? Maybe the have to do the with 7 that's keeps popping up. 4 cardinal heroes and 3 other heroes makes 7. Perhaps that's how they'll seal the tortoise? |
| The backstory of Rishia was welcome. She was unlucky to be dragged off and locked up due to some crappy lords, but it was where Itsuki rescued her from her dilemma, one of the few things he's ever done right in this series, only to get rid of her in the present day. Ah well, his loss is Naofumi's gain! =P The episode itself had a complete different contrast to last week, where it was all focused on the battle, whereas this one was more focused on adventuring on the spirit tortoise itself, finding out about the people who lived on the tortoise and also finding out more about the info left by the ancient cardinal heroes. Eventually, with the threat of the tortoise reviving, Naofumi's group went into its insides (lol) in order to take it down once and for all by destroying the heart. However, the trio that they encountered were suspicious and Naofumi and Raphtalia acted upon it, revealing the trio to be the same group we saw back in the last arc from season one, glass, L'arc and Therese. It'll be interesting to see if they'll join Naofumi or not next time. =) |

Glass is hot af, especially with these twin tails, and she was always the only character I liked and was interested in S1 as well. However, S2 is so bad (and half of S1 as well), that I won't pick up again the show now, just to admire her. I assume the writer will butcher her character anyway :( |

Read the books instead, lots of good glass moments. I am certain the adaptation is far from perfect, but my main problems with S1 lie with character and story writing, which are exclusively the author's fault. The direction actually seemed pretty decent (unlike in S2), so I just assumed she will get the same treatment from the author as most other characters. |
