| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn, landslide problems and having to deal with irresponsible people in a town. This episode is important it shows how Soma and his group handles a dire problem at hand. It feels like problems like this can be disastrous if not handled right. Gotta give props to Soma and his logical thinking instead of panic. He's displayed leadership qualities already and this episode shows that he can handle difficult responsibilities. |
 |
| Very timely episode as there's been nonstop rain over here with at least a few landslides already. Also anyone here read the source? I was hoping they would answer what happened 2 episodes ago, but until now we're still in the dark on what happened here...  |
 |
| Well a sad episode tho a informative one. The Dark Elves will have some hard times a head but they learned a few things as well which should help them prevent similar events in the future. The high way system seems to be coming along well tho which should increase the chances of getting rescue workers the disaster areas much faster. |
| The civic projects of Kazuya's reforms continue... Well, given how much this show like to drag its sweet time to lay the fruits of its work, it only makes sense that all projects must be supervised from start to finish. In this case, a landslide that affected Aisha's dark elves race living in the God-Protected Forest, and nature calls for rescue ASAP. It's good to see Kazuya thinking logically as opposed to just acting instinctly, and that's quite a massive undertaking to save the injured without any effort for the deep crevasses, no matter their condition. Let the dead rest in peace, no matter the regrets and the karma that transpires under Mother Nature's unpredictable grounds. This is a particularly difficult episode on Kazuya's role to become king, and there's a lot of gaps to fill when the plans go to naught. |
 |
| Who needs technology when you can just use magic and dragons to drag ships in the sea. Also, Kaede with the Demiurge vibes, when talking about how Souma is always planning ahead. |
 |
| Souma has make everyone in the right direction but he didn't think about everything, so things can happen to anyone such landslides. Overall good episode. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| I'm still waiting for Souma to get that cool outfit that we see in the poster of the anime. |
 |
| You can't do anything against a landslide but it's still sad to see so many people die. |
 |
| Civil engineering episode. :) With the extensive road network, traveling will be faster and easier than before. Such a sad day for the dark elves. This disaster will make Souma grow stronger for sure. |

| Huuuh, the city is evolving really good, but on the other hand.... Natural accidents, they are natural, you can't do anything about it. Having a mentality of "I had to have done something" is not optimal either, the important thing now is to fix the mess .-. Overall Ok episode |
| Unique as she may be a battleship being towed by two dragons will be quite the sight to behold. Souma's generosity and his civic projects really are working wonders within the kingdom. Its always curious seeing things that you do everyday but not realizing just how much hard work is needed to make them. The warding tree's was a neat idea. Though unfortunate the natural disaster at the forest provided a good opportunity for Souma in handling disasters. The cost to the village though still was pretty high. Overall a balanced ep that featured some nice positive moments that Souma's that showed how Souma's innovations have helped the kingdom while contrasting it with the painful reality that is brought upon when nature strikes. Intelligent as Souma is even he can't foresee every event that can happen though. |

| And it's not kingly to break down at the end as well :D not bad episode but I do not care about the landslide |
 |
| Souma blaming himself in the end for not doing enough was quite emotional. You can't prevent natural disasters. Sadly, a lot of people have died this episode. He'll be focusing on other things beside the food crisis and the Three Dukes now. World building time.. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Not gonna lie, but I'm experiencing a lot of landslides here as well lately. So, it's great to see Souma taking responsibility as a king in order to find the missing people from Aisha's village. Souma really did a great job of keeping the casualties to the minimum but not everyone was so lucky. Felt bad for the Robthor guy. But, we can't blame anyone for this tragedy. The only thing they can do here is to prevent something like that from happening ever again. Souma realized that he needs to take better measures as a king. |

What kind of heartless hollow excuse for a person are you? lol you actually got triggered from a comment of an anime! I don't care about it because it plays no part in the story of course. A wasted episode. |
|
Byniavo said: I don't care about it because it plays no part in the story of course. A wasted episode. What if it does play a part in the story? |
| |
| Not gonna lie, the meeting scene where the Dark Elf chief explained that a hundred people had died and many were still missing while jolly music played on the background was a little unintentionally funny. They definitely could have chosen a track that'd better fit the tone there. |
 |
| Natural disaster... it's hard to prevent them, especially that Souma only became the king recently, that's sad for Aisha's village and all the dark elves but at least they have been able to save some of them, also living poltergeist was really useful during this operation. |
 |
antonn said: Byniavo said: I don't care about it because it plays no part in the story of course. A wasted episode. What if it does play a part in the story? no big deal. at least we now see that souma has weaknesses |
|
| Not gonna lie, this turned dark rather quickly. A landslide is probably one of the worst things that can happen, cause of the sheer destructive force of the disaster. I am surprised that Souma managed to make his Living Poltergeist helpful in the search of missing people through wooden mouses. I didn't expect that they were able to give a proper image of the condition of the body that it actually made him sick. That must have been truly a disturbing sight. |
 |
| Why do I have such a feeling that the very touching and sad scene was cut out? |

 |
| Looks like it,damn shame too as thats quite a compelling scene in the LN. |
|
| Actually it does have a part in the story,as it shows how Souma feels about the people in the kingdom,at a time when he doesn't really want to be king.It shows what he will later become,so,yes,in showing that,it does play a part,and so wasn't a wasted episode. Btw,it also shows the lengths that Souma will go to to protect the people in the Kingdom,and the despair he feels at not being able to do more,which all shows how he's also at this early stage becoming what he needs to be. |
|
| I dunno how they do it, but somehow this show manages to sap the life from everything. It's perfectly watchable, but after an episode I'm never excited, it's more of a "meh". No reason to drop it, but no reason for me to love it either. I wish there was a lot more action. |
| I hope this series does get another season at least. Really interesting to see how Souma responded to this disaster. I feel there's plenty of potential story building that can still be done. Looking forward to future eps. |
| Souma's army is quite multi-purpose eh, besides just protecting the country they also handle road constructions and as a rescue team Definitely a "growth journey"-esque episode for Kazuya but honestly he doesn't really need to get too beaten up about those he cant save in the village. Leaders should always prioritize more important stuff and the food shortage affects the whole nation |
| I love this show as my top guilty pleasure this season, but even my suspension of disbelief was broken at the idea that no one had ever thought to use the dragon oxen to move large quantities of troops or that they're treating roads connecting cities as such a new idea, lol. But, I still loved the emotional scene at the end with Souma breaking down. It's a nice touch of humanity and character growth for him, not to mention it's a moment of growth for his relationship with Liscia, too, since she got to see that more vulnerable side of the king. |
| Really good episode! Also pretty sad at the end there, Souma definitely lacked in the risk management and emergency response department, but can't really blame him, he already has a lot on his plate and he was just an18 year old student studying law or something yeeted to the throne out of nowhere even though it's probably been how many months since then. The landslide just struck at a really terrible time. It's definitely good for Souma to let his frustrations out. I really hope we get a season 2, the show has plenty of shit it can explore. If not I'll go read the manga lmao, as much as I'd want to read the light novel, I don't have the time. Looking forward to the next episode. |

| Was funny when I googled that Roman concrete and in the German wiki was a pic of the "Pantheon" - the same thing they showed in this episode when he explained about the old buildings that still exist after 2000+ years. ( https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/33/Pantheon_innen.jpg ) Other than that ... I found this episode and the previous one ... a bit boring. Stopped reading the novel at the point 2 episodes ago I think And there was some "intermission" again (I hope this was the thing about the construction). Hopefully soon more about the thing someone mentioned above. (What the other guy told the main 2 episodes ago at the end.) Also want more politics in regwards with that 3 other guys that lead the other territories+armies. That is what I'm mainly looking forward to. |
| I actually thought it was quite a weak episode. The MC need to overexplain everything is a bit tiring and the disaster has no emotional impact for me anyway. I'm still undecided how good this show actually is, id like the MC to have a bit more charisma. |
| Where does this correlate to in the LN and Manga? |

| I don't think this was particularly well brought ... You absolutely do not have any empathy because we were shown nothing at all of the deaths apart from numbers. This was pretty quick and you don't really know the dark elves yet. Why is he crying all over this is something I can definitely not connect with in this context. Also, did he seriously had to look at passing by "horses" to remember they could use them to transport troups ??? Pretty awkwardly executed |

I agree here, but I still don't care about the landslide part. Thanks for explaining |

| The explanation he gave as to why they got modern looking ships seems flawed to me, we didn't make iron ships till the industrial age not because we had no means to propel such a heavy ship but because there was no need, wooden ships fared quite well agaisnt arrows, ramming and cannon balls, plus producing and working so much iron was hard and expensive. Also the way they're building that road just looks wrong, trees obstructing visibility(could have been placed a bit farther away from the road), no drainage and a bit wasteful with the placement of lights(too many, it's not a city street), but maybe thats just the anime to blame due to the artists lack of knowledge. And I'm guessing that last scene is to set up one of the biggest issues with great leaders, not knowing how to delegate and everything crashing after they're gone, otherwise like someone pointed out, the whole dissaster would amount to filler. |
| Ah the sea dragon towing the battleship finally been talking about at the beginning. My curiosity has been answered. However, why its not related at all for these episode grand theme? Building the road, and all of its heavy talks that i don't pay much mind over it. Forbidden army be mobilized directly by the kind and done some road constructions and got the burger as their meals. Well not a bad mission at all, i guess. After then its went to the rescue mission, where the landslide disaster happened at the dark elves forest with some forest thinning issue after then, and some dark elf used the situations to let his anger slide pretty smoothly against the poor innocent king, Souma. So, the point of the battleship sort of like the dungeon part of some few episodes before, it seems. Oh well, what a weird takes, but see you in the future then, to see more detail about those explanation. But seriously that fox girl really give me such a breeze of an air in the middle of these underwhelming episode. Her interaction really refreshing and her constant praise toward Souma unexpectedly giving me a good smile. Waifu Liscia didn't do anything much this episode. Its good that finally after 8 episodes, Souma visited Aisha village. Though, sadly with those condition, its not the best time for the king to make a visit. So, oh well. Its makes Souma into the depression state. After all, the king role-play is not just a mere game play. There's more to think about it than before. So lets see how Souma handle all of that problems.... |

And I was going to start where it left off, but I guess that makes sense. This one guy keeps ranting on the comment sections below the episodes about various details. How is it comparatively? Would you say it's worth reading? I'm enjoying the anime so far. |

I don't think they're amazing, but I still enjoyed reading them and were worth my time. Whether it's worth it or not to you is completely up to your own tastes. |

| I like that episode it showed us the responsibility of a ruler in unexpected situation. |
