I would greatly appreciate if someone could tell me what's the title of the song playing at 0:50 !
@Shinmei971 I think the album with the soundtracks from the anime will be released after the anime ends.

Ooh I’m liking the start of this new arc, we got a demon lord that’s pretending to be a human with Boojum/Spriggan (assuming he is the demon lord, seems very likely rn after that fire scene lol) and he’s got a very skilled adventurer on his side, being Shiji Bau, what I’m wondering tho is if she’s also a “coexister” or a hired mercenary. Their encounter in the back alley was quite intense and beautifully animated, nice showings from Tsav, Xylo and Kivia there, plus the new hero we met in this one, Jayce who came in with the clutch napalm (I know it’s dragon fire but that’s what it reminded me of, like calling in a killstreak in CoD or something lol). This Boojum fella and his band of assholes are gonna be tough to deal with, this is a much different demon lord situation than we’ve become used to so far, I don’t think Xylo is gonna be able to go daggers blazing with this one, but I look forward to seeing more of Boojum because he seems like an interesting villain.

This episode wasn’t all intense action tho, the first half was relatively chill with Xylo meeting his “formers fiancé” Frenci, although she doesn’t see it as former lol. I couldn’t help but like her despite how she came off at first and how she disrespected Teoritta, but Teoritta is cute when she’s disrespected so I’ll let it slide lol, I like Frenci’s design a lot too. But this has me wondering who Xylo will end up with romantically, he tried insisting he isn’t gonna be with Frenci anymore due to his hero status but she seems adamant in helping him so they can still make it work, but then there’s Kivia who is very obviously falling for Xylo whether she knows it or not, I know romance isn’t the main focus of the show but I’m still curious lol.

And speaking of Kivia, she had a cute moment when she reacted to Xylo complementing her disguise, only for Xylo to ruin the moment by saying she dressed “like a man”, damn that is tough lol, but it was funny at the same time. And of course I enjoyed the Teoritta goodness when they were shopping, it’s a shame it couldn’t be a true day off without anything getting in the way but it was fun while it lasted.

@MewsicMagic I hope it isnt a isekai person, that would ruin it for me lol. It could be just someone from a diferent culture, for example, the city "we" are in right now, is more North African or southern Iberian in culture. He could come from a place that has Japanese inspired culture.

This is one of my favorite episode of the show, if not the favorite, it has everything. Characters boundings, lighthearted moments, more interesting characters and to me, the kicker, human vs human fights (or what it seems human) instead of the fighting monsters/zombies. Loved this episode, completely sold to the series.
@Viriathus Honestly it wouldn't ruin the show for me as long as him being "Isekaied" is done well. It really can't be the usual "we summoned a hero to our world and they're a normal high school dude from Japan" cliche. I'm actually hoping that even though Tatsuya is basically a zombie at this point we find out what happened to him, there's is a LOT they could do and write with a character that nobody knows anything about.

If he truly is Isekaied from Japan imagine if he was actually fit to a be a "hero" in the normal sense, like maybe he had a military occupation or was a police officer or something before then.
I like to watch some anime, I like to talk about some anime, I dislike wars over some anime, but more than anything I love to live my life, anime is an enjoyable and entertaining addition onto my life but it's not my whole life.

Is it just me or the crazy muted hero name Tatsuya is an isekai person from Japan, and back in his normal day he probably has an "isekai protagonist" face.

I've always assumed he was German cause of the Pickelhaube, but then, I guess it wouldn't make sense for him to have a Japanese name. Perhaps he was a Japanese Wheraboo.

My life's on the line but at least we got a day off. -Teoritta probably

Tho no way we're getting one, no way we're staying out of trouble because right after Iblis we have Spriggan now.
So there are actual Demon Lords that can take human form, now that thing is even more dangerous than the usual 'mindless' monsters.

Also Xylo's "former" fiancee is pretty, the Kivia ship is in danger, or is it?

And we got our new hero! this guy has some interesting relationship with dragons lol.

@Viriathus In an earlier episode it was stated that the Goddesses have the power to open portals in order to summon various things. One of them was stated to have the power to summon people. This plus Tatsuya's name heavily implies that he was a summoned person.

Looks like we’re officially moving into a new arc with a fresh batch of characters, which is always exciting. I definitely did not expect Xylo to have a former fiancée though. That came out of nowhere. The fact that she still insists they’re engaged, even after he’s been sentenced to being a hero, is kind of wild.

As for the humanoid demon lord reveal, I can’t say I’m shocked. It feels like a pretty classic progression in anime. You start with giant, mindless monsters to establish the threat, and then you escalate to intelligent, humanoid enemies who can actually strategize and talk back

Xylo was/is engaged wow, didn't see that coming.
In 3 minutes Frenci 100 times more likbale than Kivia ever was. The fact she still consider them engaged even after all this still supporting him can't ask for more. Ideal partner (except Teorita & previous goddess). I would be fuming if it's only a plot to make Kivia jealous and she would be killed off or even worse make her enemy.

Solid episode. Teoritta's voice and her tone really is grating though, it kinda kills any kind of serious mood when she goes all ham.

@MewsicMagic I get what you are saying, but to me, not going to say it ruins it, but its a gigantic turned off. I never liked alternative realities and such and im so tired of Isekais (despite one of my current favorite shows is a Isekai, but that is one on 50). I just want a fantasy world that is that and that is it lol.

Great episode as always!

So the army that Xylo refused help from and the Venetim accepted was from his ex-fiance, huh... That gets in the way of my ship so hence I don't like it...

Speaking of, god this guy is dumb, what kinda compliment is that for a girl slaying those clothes as great as Kivia was? Seriously dawg...

The alleyway fight was crazy tho, and now there's this dragoon guy, seems slightly annoying but he is nice to dragons so I like him.

@Viriathus I can understand that, sad thing is that many of the fantasy shows we get are just full of the same tropes and problems as Isekai, they're just not Isekai. The currently airing "Yuusha Party wo Oidasareta Kiyoubinbou", or last year's "Hazure Skill "Kinomi Master": Skill no Mi (Tabetara Shinu) wo Mugen ni Taberareru You ni Natta Ken ni Tsuite" are prime examples of shows that share all the same issues with Isekai, except the part that makes them Isekai.

I've never really hated Isekai because of the main character coming from another world, so much as the shows just being terribly written. There is a LOT that can actually be done with a genre as generic as "Isekai", the issue is that most Isekai author's just go down the same route as all the others. The Isekai anime genre is technically bland by default, because it's really just about ending up in another world somehow, whether that be death, transportation or whatever else. Isekai doesn't even need to be an alternate reality situation necessarily, all it really needs to be an Isekai is have a character go to another world, and when you have a good author they can be really creative with what kind of world they want to write.

I just feel so bad about Isekai, because it's a genre with tons of excellent use cases and possibilities, and gets so much bad rep because all the Isekai stories we get are following the same tropes and template. I believe, for the most part, that there's no such thing as a bad genre, only a badly written story. But if you asked for my personal opinion instead of my objective one, I'd probably have feelings about specifics genre's similar to what you have about Isekai.

The story is becoming interesting, Now there is human - demon coexistence supporters, who have infiltrated the army/temple. Demons can turn into humans and even talk like humans, is sure hectic for army & hero units.
And just how many demon lords are there? In most stories there is 1 demon lord so seeing 15+ demon lords is sure surprising, I wonder if there is even big bad demon who rules over these demon lords....

And as much as I like & want to see the enemy to lovers for Kivia & Xylo, but I also like Frenci from the short period she was on screen. Heros are seen as lower than lifeforms, people dont wish to be associated with them, but still she wants to support Xylo & even sending her family's army unit to support his mission.... I wish we will get to more of her in future.
And she sure seems like a pure keeper, I can not be mad if they get together instead of the Kivia.

@MewsicMagic Dont get me wrong, i may enjoy a isekai here and there, i love Konosuba for example and really liked SAO first season, heck there were great 90s/00s Isekai Animes. But these days, they are the poster child of blend and there are tons of them with the same format. And myself never was a fan of alternative realities, other worlds etc i simply want my fantasy world be that, fantasy world. Despite like alot are what you said, with tons of Isekai trops.

Well, lets wait and see where this goes, i wouldnt deslike the show right away if there was someone who was isekaid over there, but it would be a turn off.

@Viriathus Yeah, and I think there's still a chance they may not even get into Tatsuya's story in this season anyways, if at all.

@Sigmar-Unberogen Based solely on what the anime has shown, it could be many things, such as them being humans who don't care about their fellow humans, or perhaps these humans resent humans, maybe they even worship demons as a superior race, or they simply realized that the side with the greatest chance of victory is the demon king's side.
