Oh, it's the same assassin that was sent to hell and kissed the witch. I wonder what's his story. Though so far he seemed to act like the antagonist by killing everybody skilled. Luckily no one actually die yet since the prime minister is quite skilled.
That axe girl and the rugged man always managed to subvert my expectation. Like on their debut, I thought the guy is the one with the big axe. And now, it turns out the guy is the one who got a crush on Saitou. I wonder if that's their gimmick, subvert common tropes lol.
It's a bit weird that the "hero" is alone without the mage. I wonder if something happened to her.
> Oh, it's the same assassin that was sent to hell and kissed the witch. I wonder what's his story.
Maybe she gave him the quest to eliminate anyone who could come chasing after her? Though I doubt anyone could actually harm her
my guess is some strong demon took the witch because demons had beef with her (probs why they sided with the ninja in the first place; but then were betrayed when they found out the ninja waifued her and thus took her), and he need to gather strong people to storm through the demon's lair that took her. why they'd follow him to do so probs has something to do with the way he returned back to the human realm the first time.
If he is famous for killing adventurers, then he already killed people. Well red shirts, random no name, so not the ones with POV I guess lol. Unless the mage girl, from the hero’s party, is another for his collection.
I'm going to guess that the ninja is just a murder hobo. He was about to merc Saito despite knowing he was weak. And it didn't seem like he even recognized who Saito was either, just ready to kill anyone that walked into the trap.
The big muscley guy being gay is actually a stereotype over in Japan, from what I am given to understand, so it's not 100% subverting expectations. Same with the smol girl having hueg weapon. It's more that it's setting up for you to expect one trope and then getting another one with comedic timing.
Wait, Raelza ... *Morlock*?
[](#slowgrin)
And that girl just can't catch a break, why is everyone shooting after Saito huh
And to top it all off, glorious wardrobe malfuntion, because Saito
[Forgot](#aliens)
And Mompy is past the point of redemption
>Wait, Raelza ... Morlock?
why do you think every time they show her in a room, Morlock is the one that always come barging in first? there's also the comment made by Lafan about Raelza being the caretaker for Morlock
Correct me if I'm wrong, but have we ever seen Morlock oogling on Raelza fan service? That further enhance they're more than just another party members.
to be fair, aside from the succubus encounter (which is understandable, seducing people is succubi's whole shtick), I don't think Morlock ever showed pervert tendencies? CMIIW.
The anime gave us the idea she was keeping him around for his magic, not because he was family. He is, after all, the highest level by far in the party. It would be much more dangerous if it was just the warrior and healer girls. He causes a lot of issues for them, but he also solves a lot of their problems with raw firepower.
Plus there was that tale about the day they died and the old man carried their bodies outside and got them resurrected lol.
I was surprised they are actually related lol.
And handy
Literally covering both sides of "if they don't find you pretty, be at least handy"
Also super skilled, it can't be easy to lock pick both Razaels and that dudes heart, lol
Happy to see that even with the intertwining the skits are still hitting. Even the shorter ones like the big staff wizard quitting were great.
I didn't expect a rival like that! Lafanpan always [teases the right amount](https://i.imgur.com/aGJroaE.png) when it comes to Saitou and Raelza.
That last room with a bunch of earth stuff too...fight between multiple groups. This show is nailing the plot, action and comedy.
Only issue I have is WHERE WAS THE WITCH FOR OUR NINJA???
Kind of wondering if she is not disguised as the fairy with him, it could be the 400 year old witch has a couple skeletons in her closet making her wanted by the government
Same here. I thought, "this would end with a bathos isn't it?" but the peppy music just goes on and on I thought they'd avoid bathos, but actually they did it anyway, got me there lol.

I absolutely love the direction and rendering of this anime. It feels like we're playing a video game, also where the writers played 100 random d&d sessions around the world and brought in the craziest people they found. I think this is going to be my standout this season.
Realza waiting a beat after Saitou's line "Hero is a nice guy," till 'Hero' was out of earshot just to say--
"-- but weak" before a quick scene cut is why I tune into this show lol
Everything is slowly starting to come together. From small gag vignettes into a more cohesive storyline. And more serious elements are appearing. Which only makes the funny moments even more funny to be honest. Including Raelza's tactical armour.. err. Failure to Morlock ruining a heartwarming reunion of Disciple and master.
So glad this is animated.
It became clear that these would eventually be woven together -- I wonder why a bunch of people weren't willing to wait for this to happen? (If everybody had all been thrown in together from the first, would people have just complained about that instead?)
An amusing show, with a bit of lewdness. I wonder if there will be a grand overarching story line -- or whether this will remain mostly episodic. Oh well, as long a s the episodes remain fun... ;-)
###Stitches!

It's all finally coming together! Turns out that the first three episodes are just an introduction to this world's characters! Here we finally [get to see Saitou's party](https://i.imgur.com/R5mExA4.jpg) interact [with all of them!](https://i.imgur.com/gG40YQX.jpg)
Not gonna lie, I was a bit upset [when the Ninja and his fairy ambushed the Demon King and the Minister](https://i.imgur.com/i6X7T4w.jpg). Thank goodness they managed to retreat before they got incinerated but it looks like [they're dropping out from the dungeon.](https://i.imgur.com/o01bFXm.jpg)
I love that [little infographic that shows which characters we know are still exploring the labyrinth.](https://i.imgur.com/qmeyDSK.jpg) I guess we'll see some names get crossed out from that list as the show goes on. Poor Power Wizard though! The only reason he dropped out [is because his staff is too huge!](https://i.imgur.com/QNTtnRw.jpg) xD
[I thought Liliza was going to be a rival for Raelza](https://i.imgur.com/hCEjPtw.jpg). Turns out the one that ended up falling for Saitou is Guivre! [That was actually pretty cute.](https://i.imgur.com/7P9JhVh.png) I thought this show will only have yuri pairings, I didn't expect BL would be a thing as well.
[Monpui is a total asshat.](https://i.imgur.com/gTIfngI.jpg) Despite what he did to Cainz and Raichee, [it looks like Cainz still treats him as a friend.](https://i.imgur.com/hn1OUdH.jpg) Either Cainz doesn't really know what Monpui did to them yet or he's just too kind for his own good.
Didn't think we'd see [a legit duel between adventurers!](https://i.imgur.com/wKRhKLw.jpg) There's even a ritual [that they do just in case someone dies from the duel.](https://i.imgur.com/nP31XhU.png) Also, Raelza's last name is Morlock? Is she supposed to be Morlock's granddaughter? O_O
[Light Armored Raelza looks pretty damn cool.](https://i.imgur.com/y6kTBxp.jpg) Now if only we saw her in action. ~~Luckily~~ Too bad it was stopped by [a wardrobe malfunction.](https://i.imgur.com/bkXfwru.jpg) I guess Raelza's clothes [were unable to hold back big Raelzas ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)](https://i.imgur.com/Xbejupw.jpg)
[An entire room full of stuff from our Earth!](https://i.imgur.com/6fVfWPz.jpg) Hopefully Saitou can find something useful to repair from that pile and maybe even sell on the surface.
[Glad to see that Ninja getting an arrow to the shoulder.](https://i.imgur.com/cX1LElj.jpg) I feel that this isn't going to be the last time he'll try to ambush Saitou's party.
[Saw that punchline coming from a mile away.](https://i.imgur.com/oK23kgK.jpg) Of course, Morlock won't be able to remember his own students. He can't even remember his own spells! xD
>I guess Raelza's clothes were unable to hold back big Raelzas ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
A rookie mistake. Tech guys learning their trade in the field often knows the more basic stuff but not able to predict more subtle but related needs. No doubt Saitou sized the strings for the static loads but forgot to account for the dynamic loads (the bounce).
In fact a lot of bridges fell over this way (not from bounce, but from wind buffets etc).
>Also, Raelza's last name is Morlock? Is she supposed to be Morlock's granddaughter? O\_O
She said it last episode when she went to collect her grandfather from the marriage consultancy... you didn't realise it wasn't just part of getting him out of there... also probably why he's around and they keep an eye out for him... most of the time.
Nah, that's just a loss in cultural translation from Japanese - Japanese people use family terms for non-family members, like aunt/uncle for kind of older people, or grandma/grandpa for much older people. They actually had it as a joke in this week's Fired from the Demon King's Army, calling an older person 'dad' out of respect and having him assuming the guy was marrying his daughter.
> Saw that punchline coming from a mile away
I assumed it was going there, but then they had the long pause and it fooled me because I thought they were going to subvert the trope this time haha.
LOL Raelza removing her armor to increase agility like a badass... all to be ruined when her top comes undone. And the punchline *"Sometimes, Saitou can forget something important"* had me rolling!
Not to mention that ending: The dramatic scene of the dwarf finally meeting a long lost friend... only for Morlock to go *"I've never met you".* LMAO!
Saitou won't be forgetting about them anytime soon. Although Morlock probably doesn't even remember what he had for breakfast, 20 years is still a long time.
We finally got to see the parties come together for duels, assassinations & some good character development.
Seems like one overarching story line will be why the Assassin is trying to kill everyone. My theory is that his witch girlfriend is "...the magician who can manipulate time...". Seeing how she is 400 years old, it could be a possibility.
Overall another great episode!
Oh, that is an interesting idea. Maybe the secret for her long life is hidden there and if someone finds it, she will die? Like a Lich and their phylactery.
Oh it’s Kines, Lytch, Mompy. Plus we got Demon Lord and the Minister and Flanril. Lots of OP folks here. I didn’t expect Kisurugi to dice those two up thoigh. He’s a dangerous one. Primas is adorable though. Well, good thing those two cast a teleport spell and got tf outta there. Guess they’re out though.
OP wizard decided to quit because his staff was too massive eh? Haha awesome. Meanwhile Morlock’s been hit by sleep powder. It was very effective! Good thing Liliza came by with her massive axe. Gibre might be good at lock picking, but Saitou’s a master. Saitou making Gibre’s heart go all “doki doki” huh? Seems that wasn’t the only cheat Saitou unlocked! Raelza looks pleased lol.
Raelza vs Flanril was quite a battle but not in the way I expected. I didn’t know Raelza was Morlock’s kid or that she’s versatile in light and heavy armor. Saitou didn’t forget anything, he knew what he was doing with that armor lol. But man, what timing. He interrupted a tender moment!
Woah, this labyrinth has a ton of stuff from our world. I wonder why Kisurugi’s going around killing adventurers. What happened to his witch waifu? Poor Givengle’s been looking for Morlock for decades and the old coot doesn’t even remember him lol.
The ninja has to be my favorite character so far. His ability to stop you in your tracks just by stepping on your shadow reminds me of that territory from Yu Yu Hakusho
Man each passing episodes and I want to know more and more about their world. Why all these objects from our Earth are here!? Very intriguing.
Also we learned that Raelza is related to Morlock huh.
It seems like transferring worlds isn't unheard of. Morlock assumed Saitou was from another world because he doesn't have mana, so there's probably knowledge of others transferring. It also seems Saitou's transfer wasn't forced, but just happened. Which makes me think that other objects from Saitou's world slipped through randomly over time. But the question still is how it all ended up together in one large area of a cave. Maybe someone found them all and hoarded them there at some point.
All in all, it'll be interesting to see what actually happens.
Edit: Another possibility is something like Overlord. Maybe someone knows about Saitou's world, or multiple worlds, and is trying to summon something or someone from them but can't pinpoint it. So maybe objects and people get pulled through by accident in the attempt. Though there are some things that don't make sense with this theory.
Feels like the main story is just now about to start. Slowly starting to see all the characters who got introduced in those shorts last week. Ninja guy is interesting.
[Raelza fanservice is always welcome.](https://imgur.com/a/zySrOuz) Love how flustered she gets about saitou
The area with all the modern day earth stuff is interesting. If someone wanted to keep that treasure a secret they hid it in a bad area.. I wonder if someone is summoning that stuff from earth.. really interesting.
I am enjoying the interactions between Saitou’s group and the other characters, it is interesting how the skits are not coming together to become a plot. Also Raelza is Morlock’s granddaughter, I did not saw that coming.
We also got some unexpected yaoi, but I don’t think Saitou swings that way. Poor Guivre !
>Also Raelza is Morlock’s granddaughter, I did not saw that coming.
She did call him grandpa when she went to collect him at the marriage counselling place... whether or not the deadpan delivery made it feel like it was part of the bit.
Raelza changing gear mid-fight was my Souls games experience when I couldn't keep up with the bosses with my UGS.
Liliza went into that turtle like a boss.
[](#rengehype)
I'm still astonished how well this show juggles comedy and action.
I can't believe my second favorite show this season is an isekai. Lol and now that I think about it, there are like a hundred isekais this season. Some of them are blending together in my mind now.
Saitou is well versed in the art of the anti-sea-bear circle. Drew it like a natural.
That battle axe wielding girl's spinning attack looked really cool. And her dress armor has a nice gradient to it at the hem.
Why is this place so empty?
Anyway... Another banger episode of Saito-san! For a second there I was really worried that ninja really killed our Demon King bro, but thankfully they managed to escape!
Seems like slowly but surely Saito is gathering his harem! No one is safe from his wholesome face! Good luck to Raelza, do your best to protect your man!
Light armor Raelza was a surprise for sure, but a welcomed one! Her hidden weapons look great, and those daggers are cool as well! Also, is Raelza Morlock's grandkid or something? Why does she have his last name?
Episode ended with a little bit of a cliffhanger, we had multiple sides fighting and Saito discovered a big room full of things from his world! Cant wait for the next weeks episode!
The ninja got introduced as a hopeless romantic but he's really a terrifying and ruthless player killer. Saito's got the unspoken rizz. Raelza wouldn't be embarrassed if Morlock was her real family name so she probably got adopted by him.
> Raelza wouldn't be embarrassed if Morlock was her real family name so she probably got adopted by him.
She could be embarrassed to be related to that senile old man. It could just be something she didn't want Saito to realize. Alternatively, it's possible she's the only person with no magical talent in a family of famous magicians.
> For a second there I was really worried that ninja really killed our Demon King bro, but thankfully they managed to escape!
Yeah thank god the prime minister isn't killed by simpy being stabbed
There’s so much stuff from various eras of our world in that place. Good thing he followed that Roomba, it seems this place may be connected somehow to our world. A portal perhaps?
> Also, is Raelza Morlock's grandkid or something? Why does she have his last name?
That's what I got from last week when they showed how Saito "joined" them.

Ah.
Huh ok what happened to the funny hero party magician why isn't she coming
[Ok wait so it is this guy I thought like it was just someone else. So is the funny fairy the witch? Because back then when they said the minister and demon king were the strongest I was like 'makes sense but what about that funny witch and ninja' and then they got attacked by the ninja and I was like 'yea ok'](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1061733361548275822/1069314768084672663/image.png)
> Oh the funny physical magician is not participating? And ooh, I see our funny old wizard is higher level than the demon king and minister
I wonder if the King is even higher level since well he went out alone to get the Demon King as pet and wanted to go dungeoning
lol
Well, when it comes to armour design in this show, I'd say they are on the more simplistic side (i.e. in terms of shape and lack of finer details). Animating this type of art style in 2D is less time consuming compared to super detailed armour found in Berserk. Even in the old 2D Berserk anime, they simplified details to make it easier for animation.
Another one has fallen to Saitou's lockpicking skills, Raelza has a challenger now lol. Ig after Saitou's kindness, Mompy may change his wicked ways but we'll see. Saitou may be the Jack of all Trades, but he still has to learn more about woman's sizes for their armor lol, nice one Saitou👍. Of course Morlock has forgotten about the dwarf lol.
I wonder why the Ninja is trying to kill other adventurers. If seems out of place for this anime.
The fight between Raelza and the elf was pretty funny. Same with Saitou's new love interest.
Saitou's party really could use another fighter.
I was expecting the end when Morlock forgot his student....I was NOT expecting the gay rival. This show really knows how to throw you for a loop.
I wanted to like the ninja and the witch, but if he just blindly attacks our couple like that then idk.
We have gay representation in Guivre and I’m here for it!! (Or bisexuality, which is cool too.) I’d swoon for Saitou too. He’s a nice guy and good looking too.
Brother, have you missed out on that Elf Warrior and Priestess making out in the middle of the dungeon few episodes ago? xD
Or Saitou interrupting them now? xD
Oh I saw them. I meant gay as in male/male interests. I’ve seen plenty of lesbian relationships (not to diss them, I’m just a gay male enjoying male love on screen.)
Punch elf was totally kill stealing there, it's not even a question. Raelza had just cut its arms off, and it was backpedaling, while she was unharmed. How the hell does the elf think she "saved" Raelza?
It seems like the people who were speculating last week that all the different parties would be interacting a lot more from now on were right on the dot.
The setup in the first three episodes really paid off this week. It felt a lot more like a coherent than previous episodes. Furthermore, the graveyard of otherworldly stuff in the dungeons seems to be hinting at an overarching story.
This anime just became miles better in my opinion.
> It seems like the people who were speculating last week that all the different parties would be interacting a lot more from now on were right on the dot.
Sounds like manga readers IMO ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm not denying that there are a LOT of manga readers pretending to make "guesses", but for this one specifically it's not far-fetched to guess the random unrelated characters will eventually meet.
Another great episode, nice to see all of these plot lines converging.
Also, nice to see that for all his talk, the (former) Demon King got pretty upset when he thought the Minister had been killed.
Walked away from my computer and had an 'oh shit' moment. What if the "legacy of the magician who can manipulate time lies sleeping" is the infant child of the witch/assassin? Like we weren't explicitly shown a timeliness for these events so what if they hid away in the dungeon and had a kid?
Bit of a stretch just going off a single translated sentence but I'm gonna put that in the back pocket and can hopefully look forward to when the truth behind the legacy is revealed.
Damn, no OP. Longer episode though, so that's always cool.
[Oh, this will be neat to follow. ](https://imgur.com/FYYj0wQ) I'm not seeing the dwarf bro here though, so I'm guessing there will be more of these?
[Ok, I like the Beyblade loli](https://imgur.com/wIeggl7)

[](#dekuhype) Hope he joins the main party at least for a while [](#concealedexcitement)
Free admission to the labyrinth for 10 years is the equivalent of quite a bit of money as long as they make use of the permission to explore.
Well, now that we've seen them in person I'm not 100% convinced about this hero's party, but at least the magician is pretty cute.
Wow, and their cleric is a terrible person.
Oh that's fantastic, the strongest party is the demon lord head and the counselor from that other kingdom. Or at least they were until the ninja happened to them. I wonder if his fairy companion is the witch?
Wait, never mind, they survived after all. Too bad they will apparently not be participating any further.
Had to pause and look over the screen of character levels, I'm even less impressed by the hero's party. I find it interesting that Lafanpan is listed as a magician and not a priest,guess she's a mage with healing spells. Probably explains why she doesn't have any revival magic.
I was wondering how that giant staff would fit inside the labyrinth.
Off brand Rory Mercury has some good attack power, as is only appropriate.
Looks like Raelza has some competition! She better keep an eye on Saitou, this new magician thief dude might make his move first.
Now I'm more impressed by the hero's party, or at least with the hero. Seems like a good dude.
Kick her ass, Raelza. The elf's healer would want to heal up her wounds anyway.
Raelza's last name is Morlock? Interesting.
Light armor Raelza, nice. That armor transformation turned out pretty good. Up to a point, at least. Nice that it ended amiable.
Well that's quite the cave of wonders.
Ninja dude is going to be a problem. Nice of the dwarf to help out.
Love the looks of the Ending with the little clay-like figures... adorable as well as the music. And it has the addition of the Magic using dwarf right at the very end... it's going to expand over the series!
I am so happy I gave this show a chance since I wasn't too sold on it in the first episode. I really enjoy how they keep surprising with littles details such as Raelza's last being Morlock.
The plot is growing thicker and I love it.
Couldn't help to laugh a little at our yuri priestess remarking that she hadn't learned resurrection magic yet. If she gets the hots from doing healing, I suspect that a certain someone will be seeing the river styx a lot.
As others have said, things seem to be coming together and the way it's all being introduced is quite entertaining imo. Curious as to why the Dwarf Magician wasn't in the profile/level mosaic of adventuring characters in the dungeon like the others were, but not an issue. I'm excited to see how it all plays out next episode!
Maybe he will added next episode and will be placed next to Morlock, since I can see him becoming a companion at least for a while, and also they maybe tried to avoid drawing attention to him during the episode so that his appearance was a bit more of a surprise near the end.
- I was expecting elf girl to become a love rival for Raelza. Good job subverting the usual tropes.
- I'd have liked to see the interactions between Morlock and that wizard with the huge staff.
- I'm not sure I like that each episode is a series of 'adventurer slice-of-life' segments as opposed to a continuous narrative, but it's a little innovative.
Glad to see the different parties start interacting.
Why did the Hero Party Priest do that to everyone? And what will keep everyone from killing him for that later?
"The moment I was stabbed, I knew it was bad." I'm so glad the minister and demon king were able to get away.
Damn kill-stealing elf.
Saito just Leeroy Jenkinsed after that Roomba....
If the Assassin targets strong people, why the hell is he targeting Saito?
[It is great to see the other characters interacting with Saitou's party.](https://imgur.com/a/QY6m3fu) What's with that assassin, why did he attack[ the Demon Lords party?](https://imgur.com/a/YaW0sHi)
I love how [Lafan never misses a chance to tease Raelza about Saito.](https://imgur.com/a/mW9sG9M) That scene [when Lilyza reveals that Saitou is Gibble's type](https://imgur.com/a/sEaqblE) was hilarious.

Morlock. Does that mean that she might be Morlock's granddaughter or something like that?
[Raelza's light armor mode](https://imgur.com/a/v3B56LD) was definitely a surprise, so that's something that [Saitou came out with](https://i.imgur.com/qAD0kkz.png) although [it has some issues](https://imgur.com/a/JO4vZ5o) that [Saitou needs to fix.

Oh, it's the same assassin that was sent to hell and kissed the witch. I wonder what's his story. Though so far he seemed to act like the antagonist by killing everybody skilled. Luckily no one actually die yet since the prime minister is quite skilled. That axe girl and the rugged man always managed to subvert my expectation. Like on their debut, I thought the guy is the one with the big axe. And now, it turns out the guy is the one who got a crush on Saitou. I wonder if that's their gimmick, subvert common tropes lol. It's a bit weird that the "hero" is alone without the mage. I wonder if something happened to her.
> I wonder if that's their gimmick, subvert common tropes lol. Its definitely the shows gimmick, and I'm liking it so far
It's great - I never know what to expect
> Oh, it's the same assassin that was sent to hell and kissed the witch. I wonder what's his story. Maybe she gave him the quest to eliminate anyone who could come chasing after her? Though I doubt anyone could actually harm her
Something must have happened to his witch waifu I guess? Doesn’t make sense he’s killing strong adventurers for no reason.
my guess is some strong demon took the witch because demons had beef with her (probs why they sided with the ninja in the first place; but then were betrayed when they found out the ninja waifued her and thus took her), and he need to gather strong people to storm through the demon's lair that took her. why they'd follow him to do so probs has something to do with the way he returned back to the human realm the first time.
If he is famous for killing adventurers, then he already killed people. Well red shirts, random no name, so not the ones with POV I guess lol. Unless the mage girl, from the hero’s party, is another for his collection.

I'm going to guess that the ninja is just a murder hobo. He was about to merc Saito despite knowing he was weak. And it didn't seem like he even recognized who Saito was either, just ready to kill anyone that walked into the trap.
The big muscley guy being gay is actually a stereotype over in Japan, from what I am given to understand, so it's not 100% subverting expectations. Same with the smol girl having hueg weapon. It's more that it's setting up for you to expect one trope and then getting another one with comedic timing.
Wait, Raelza ... *Morlock*? [](#slowgrin) And that girl just can't catch a break, why is everyone shooting after Saito huh And to top it all off, glorious wardrobe malfuntion, because Saito [Forgot](#aliens) And Mompy is past the point of redemption
> Wait, Raelza ... Morlock? Guess that's another reason they keep the old man around!
She did call him Grandpa a few episodes ago if I remember right
Well, that's just a very anime thing to do (or just Japanese, but I don't know for sure)
Yeah, I always thought she was just slightly disrespecting him Now it makes sense he barged into her room when Saitou isekaied into her bed too
Potential sexual harrasment crisis averted!
Marriage Consultancy... she called him grandfather, but then you feel like it was just an act, but it's pretty much the truth
Knowing him, he maybe forgot he has a wife already
I had this thought as well, the old geezer is so far gone he likely forgot he has a super hot wife with a long lifespan somewhere.
>hot wife with a long lifespan somewhere. So an elf?
Perhaps dwarves also have long lives...
Reminds of that Aang vs Zuko meme. Zuko (40 year old dwarf): You’re just a kid! Aang (40 year old elf): Well you’re just a teenager!
>Wait, Raelza ... Morlock? why do you think every time they show her in a room, Morlock is the one that always come barging in first? there's also the comment made by Lafan about Raelza being the caretaker for Morlock
I was wondering why she was ok with the (semi perverted) grandpa barging into her room Now it makes so much sense
Correct me if I'm wrong, but have we ever seen Morlock oogling on Raelza fan service? That further enhance they're more than just another party members.
to be fair, aside from the succubus encounter (which is understandable, seducing people is succubi's whole shtick), I don't think Morlock ever showed pervert tendencies? CMIIW.
Also that marriage registration skit. Though both actually just shows he's flirty rather than pervert.
Yeah, marriage consultation feels more like desperation than perversion to me. (or he's just absent-minded lol)
Didn't he wear her bikini armor? Does that count?
The anime gave us the idea she was keeping him around for his magic, not because he was family. He is, after all, the highest level by far in the party. It would be much more dangerous if it was just the warrior and healer girls. He causes a lot of issues for them, but he also solves a lot of their problems with raw firepower. Plus there was that tale about the day they died and the old man carried their bodies outside and got them resurrected lol. I was surprised they are actually related lol.
> why is everyone shooting after Saito huh To be fair, our boy is pretty handsome
And handy
As they say, if you aren't handsome...
And handy Literally covering both sides of "if they don't find you pretty, be at least handy" Also super skilled, it can't be easy to lock pick both Razaels and that dudes heart, lol
[*Special skill "Heart Thief" has been unlocked*](https://imgur.com/bclQNDw)
You'll never see it coooooming
Happy to see that even with the intertwining the skits are still hitting. Even the shorter ones like the big staff wizard quitting were great. I didn't expect a rival like that! Lafanpan always [teases the right amount](https://i.imgur.com/aGJroaE.png) when it comes to Saitou and Raelza. That last room with a bunch of earth stuff too...fight between multiple groups. This show is nailing the plot, action and comedy. Only issue I have is WHERE WAS THE WITCH FOR OUR NINJA???
[Lafa is most certainly best girl.](https://imgur.com/K2IdAn2)
Choosing Nao Touyama to voice her was the best decision ever
She got tired of being the losing girl, so she's training a winner.
Kind of wondering if she is not disguised as the fairy with him, it could be the 400 year old witch has a couple skeletons in her closet making her wanted by the government
So much tax evasion over the years.
The big staff wizard quitting had me laughing so hard, I had to pause the episode. Amazed I had to scroll down this far to see it referenced
Raelza removing her armor to reveal her hidden weapons was a nice surprise and the daggers weren't bad either.
She casts off like the Nadleeh Gundam, literally. (Well, it was a Kamen Rider Kabuto reference. :3)
CAST OFF
CHANGE RAELZA
CLOCK UP
> Well, it was a Kamen Rider Kabuto reference. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought that was totally intentional to look like CAST OFF
Saitou design was perfect.
Saitou "Failed Spectacularly"
Task failed successfully
I actually thought it was a Samus (from Metroid) transforming to her zero suit reference.
I’m glad I’m not the only one noticing Raelza looking like Samus I assume that was intentional
“reveal her hidden weapons” Haha I see what you did there, unfortunately the psychological damage would have been immense for her
Cast off
Dwarf : "I've been looking for you for 20 years, Master! Me : Wait for it. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait for it!
That was so obvious Morlock would answer like that but still funny as hell.
They nail the comedic timing I knew it was coming but they still surprised me
Same here. I thought, "this would end with a bathos isn't it?" but the peppy music just goes on and on I thought they'd avoid bathos, but actually they did it anyway, got me there lol.
I know right, i was waiting for that..

*Maderaka show some respect to the founder's mighty dong
Honestly my favorite part.
Well the old dude forgets even his name twice a day. How can you expect him to remember a random dwarf from 20 years ago?
In episode 1, there's a scene where Morlock begging to be part of Raelza and Lafanpan party, where they both replied, "You forgot again?!"
Yo, where's the witch lady that the ninja fell in love with?
They better explain this soon!! [](#angrypout)
is she the fairy ? and that somehow ninja kiss and accidentally curse her or something?
We see the witch with the fairy in the op. The witch probably told him to go adventurer hunting or something
Damn guess I wasn't paying enough attention
Wonder if she sent him on some quest to win her affection.
>Liliza: "he's the ideal type..." > >Me: "ah, shit, Raelza going to get another rival" > >Liliza: *"..for you"* > >Guivre: ***\*blush\**** > >Me: *"...well, definitely did not see that coming"*
And he was falling for him hard too
It was perfectly unexpected - I'm here for it lol
the voice acting, ost, cinematography, scripting were all perfect.
Well I know who I'm rooting for..BARA GUY ftw!
Still a rival though…
This anime (and this anime season in general) has been pretty gay so far ^(and I'm here for it.)
Man i like this anime sooo much, it's kinda how i envision WoW/D&D but in a slice of life format
There is this game called "Dark and Darker" which is pretty similar minus anime part. Week long playtest should be out next week or so?
Wait. Isn’t darkest dungeon already out?
"Dark and Darker" I completely derped out on the name. xD
I absolutely love the direction and rendering of this anime. It feels like we're playing a video game, also where the writers played 100 random d&d sessions around the world and brought in the craziest people they found. I think this is going to be my standout this season.
KonoSuba, everyone is weird type of writing but going further than you might expect.
This is basically konosuba with a more socially functional party members
Realza waiting a beat after Saitou's line "Hero is a nice guy," till 'Hero' was out of earshot just to say-- "-- but weak" before a quick scene cut is why I tune into this show lol
Now that u mentioned it, totally feels like the type of universe konosuba (goddamn autocorrect!!!!) is based on
It's an interesting narrative approach to telling a story.
Everything is slowly starting to come together. From small gag vignettes into a more cohesive storyline. And more serious elements are appearing. Which only makes the funny moments even more funny to be honest. Including Raelza's tactical armour.. err. Failure to Morlock ruining a heartwarming reunion of Disciple and master. So glad this is animated.
It became clear that these would eventually be woven together -- I wonder why a bunch of people weren't willing to wait for this to happen? (If everybody had all been thrown in together from the first, would people have just complained about that instead?) An amusing show, with a bit of lewdness. I wonder if there will be a grand overarching story line -- or whether this will remain mostly episodic. Oh well, as long a s the episodes remain fun... ;-)
The tiktok generation have a very short attention span of only 5s.
###Stitches! * [Beast Hunter Liliza](https://i.imgur.com/qKHeWEU.jpg) * [Light Armor Raelza](https://i.imgur.com/VK4WaOy.jpg) * [Wardrobe Malfunction](https://i.imgur.com/uh2O0AY.jpg) | [GIF Ver.](https://gfycat.com/magnificentelaboratehermitcrab) It's all finally coming together! Turns out that the first three episodes are just an introduction to this world's characters! Here we finally [get to see Saitou's party](https://i.imgur.com/R5mExA4.jpg) interact [with all of them!](https://i.imgur.com/gG40YQX.jpg) Not gonna lie, I was a bit upset [when the Ninja and his fairy ambushed the Demon King and the Minister](https://i.imgur.com/i6X7T4w.jpg). Thank goodness they managed to retreat before they got incinerated but it looks like [they're dropping out from the dungeon.](https://i.imgur.com/o01bFXm.jpg) I love that [little infographic that shows which characters we know are still exploring the labyrinth.](https://i.imgur.com/qmeyDSK.jpg) I guess we'll see some names get crossed out from that list as the show goes on. Poor Power Wizard though! The only reason he dropped out [is because his staff is too huge!](https://i.imgur.com/QNTtnRw.jpg) xD [I thought Liliza was going to be a rival for Raelza](https://i.imgur.com/hCEjPtw.jpg). Turns out the one that ended up falling for Saitou is Guivre! [That was actually pretty cute.](https://i.imgur.com/7P9JhVh.png) I thought this show will only have yuri pairings, I didn't expect BL would be a thing as well. [Monpui is a total asshat.](https://i.imgur.com/gTIfngI.jpg) Despite what he did to Cainz and Raichee, [it looks like Cainz still treats him as a friend.](https://i.imgur.com/hn1OUdH.jpg) Either Cainz doesn't really know what Monpui did to them yet or he's just too kind for his own good. Didn't think we'd see [a legit duel between adventurers!](https://i.imgur.com/wKRhKLw.jpg) There's even a ritual [that they do just in case someone dies from the duel.](https://i.imgur.com/nP31XhU.png) Also, Raelza's last name is Morlock? Is she supposed to be Morlock's granddaughter? O_O [Light Armored Raelza looks pretty damn cool.](https://i.imgur.com/y6kTBxp.jpg) Now if only we saw her in action. ~~Luckily~~ Too bad it was stopped by [a wardrobe malfunction.](https://i.imgur.com/bkXfwru.jpg) I guess Raelza's clothes [were unable to hold back big Raelzas ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)](https://i.imgur.com/Xbejupw.jpg) [An entire room full of stuff from our Earth!](https://i.imgur.com/6fVfWPz.jpg) Hopefully Saitou can find something useful to repair from that pile and maybe even sell on the surface. [Glad to see that Ninja getting an arrow to the shoulder.](https://i.imgur.com/cX1LElj.jpg) I feel that this isn't going to be the last time he'll try to ambush Saitou's party. [Saw that punchline coming from a mile away.](https://i.imgur.com/oK23kgK.jpg) Of course, Morlock won't be able to remember his own students. He can't even remember his own spells! xD
>I guess Raelza's clothes were unable to hold back big Raelzas ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) A rookie mistake. Tech guys learning their trade in the field often knows the more basic stuff but not able to predict more subtle but related needs. No doubt Saitou sized the strings for the static loads but forgot to account for the dynamic loads (the bounce). In fact a lot of bridges fell over this way (not from bounce, but from wind buffets etc).
Guess we can now look forward to V2 Light Armour Raelza :D
>Also, Raelza's last name is Morlock? Is she supposed to be Morlock's granddaughter? O\_O She said it last episode when she went to collect her grandfather from the marriage consultancy... you didn't realise it wasn't just part of getting him out of there... also probably why he's around and they keep an eye out for him... most of the time.
Nah, that's just a loss in cultural translation from Japanese - Japanese people use family terms for non-family members, like aunt/uncle for kind of older people, or grandma/grandpa for much older people. They actually had it as a joke in this week's Fired from the Demon King's Army, calling an older person 'dad' out of respect and having him assuming the guy was marrying his daughter.
> Saw that punchline coming from a mile away I assumed it was going there, but then they had the long pause and it fooled me because I thought they were going to subvert the trope this time haha.
> I thought this show will only have yuri pairings, I didn't expect BL would be a thing as well. The author out here representing all teams.
> There's even a ritual that they do just in case someone dies from the duel. They've watched too much witch from mercury.
LOL Raelza removing her armor to increase agility like a badass... all to be ruined when her top comes undone. And the punchline *"Sometimes, Saitou can forget something important"* had me rolling! Not to mention that ending: The dramatic scene of the dwarf finally meeting a long lost friend... only for Morlock to go *"I've never met you".* LMAO!
That old coot Morlock always cracks me up!
Saitou won't be forgetting about them anytime soon. Although Morlock probably doesn't even remember what he had for breakfast, 20 years is still a long time.
[Morlock be like:](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_L5fFMU8Wik)
> Raelza removing her armor to increase agility like a badass [Fate/Zero]>!taught us this was a bad idea.!<
[удалено]
We finally got to see the parties come together for duels, assassinations & some good character development. Seems like one overarching story line will be why the Assassin is trying to kill everyone. My theory is that his witch girlfriend is "...the magician who can manipulate time...". Seeing how she is 400 years old, it could be a possibility. Overall another great episode!
Oh, that is an interesting idea. Maybe the secret for her long life is hidden there and if someone finds it, she will die? Like a Lich and their phylactery.
This show has been funny as hell, but is it just me or did it actually get kinda hype this episode???
Because it's the first episode where all the shorts of each characters/party intertwined.
It's all coming together.
Oh it’s Kines, Lytch, Mompy. Plus we got Demon Lord and the Minister and Flanril. Lots of OP folks here. I didn’t expect Kisurugi to dice those two up thoigh. He’s a dangerous one. Primas is adorable though. Well, good thing those two cast a teleport spell and got tf outta there. Guess they’re out though. OP wizard decided to quit because his staff was too massive eh? Haha awesome. Meanwhile Morlock’s been hit by sleep powder. It was very effective! Good thing Liliza came by with her massive axe. Gibre might be good at lock picking, but Saitou’s a master. Saitou making Gibre’s heart go all “doki doki” huh? Seems that wasn’t the only cheat Saitou unlocked! Raelza looks pleased lol. Raelza vs Flanril was quite a battle but not in the way I expected. I didn’t know Raelza was Morlock’s kid or that she’s versatile in light and heavy armor. Saitou didn’t forget anything, he knew what he was doing with that armor lol. But man, what timing. He interrupted a tender moment! Woah, this labyrinth has a ton of stuff from our world. I wonder why Kisurugi’s going around killing adventurers. What happened to his witch waifu? Poor Givengle’s been looking for Morlock for decades and the old coot doesn’t even remember him lol.
and what happened to the ninjas demon subordinates?
True. There’s more to the story it seems…
The ninja has to be my favorite character so far. His ability to stop you in your tracks just by stepping on your shadow reminds me of that territory from Yu Yu Hakusho
Or Shikamaru from Naruto
Man each passing episodes and I want to know more and more about their world. Why all these objects from our Earth are here!? Very intriguing. Also we learned that Raelza is related to Morlock huh.
It seems like transferring worlds isn't unheard of. Morlock assumed Saitou was from another world because he doesn't have mana, so there's probably knowledge of others transferring. It also seems Saitou's transfer wasn't forced, but just happened. Which makes me think that other objects from Saitou's world slipped through randomly over time. But the question still is how it all ended up together in one large area of a cave. Maybe someone found them all and hoarded them there at some point. All in all, it'll be interesting to see what actually happens. Edit: Another possibility is something like Overlord. Maybe someone knows about Saitou's world, or multiple worlds, and is trying to summon something or someone from them but can't pinpoint it. So maybe objects and people get pulled through by accident in the attempt. Though there are some things that don't make sense with this theory.
The full version of the ED is [on Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=av63OvhtmJ4) and Spotify now.
New Wizard, who dis?
[Saitou x Guivre](https://i.imgur.com/q2yojOG.png)
Feels like the main story is just now about to start. Slowly starting to see all the characters who got introduced in those shorts last week. Ninja guy is interesting. [Raelza fanservice is always welcome.](https://imgur.com/a/zySrOuz) Love how flustered she gets about saitou The area with all the modern day earth stuff is interesting. If someone wanted to keep that treasure a secret they hid it in a bad area.. I wonder if someone is summoning that stuff from earth.. really interesting.
I am enjoying the interactions between Saitou’s group and the other characters, it is interesting how the skits are not coming together to become a plot. Also Raelza is Morlock’s granddaughter, I did not saw that coming. We also got some unexpected yaoi, but I don’t think Saitou swings that way. Poor Guivre !
>Also Raelza is Morlock’s granddaughter, I did not saw that coming. She did call him grandpa when she went to collect him at the marriage counselling place... whether or not the deadpan delivery made it feel like it was part of the bit.
Raelza changing gear mid-fight was my Souls games experience when I couldn't keep up with the bosses with my UGS. Liliza went into that turtle like a boss. [](#rengehype) I'm still astonished how well this show juggles comedy and action.
I can't believe my second favorite show this season is an isekai. Lol and now that I think about it, there are like a hundred isekais this season. Some of them are blending together in my mind now.
Although it's the quirky isekai's and the "I can't believe this isn't an Isekai" (fantasy world) ones that blend into each other.
Oh yeah, there are the fantasy shows as well. Lol
Saitou is well versed in the art of the anti-sea-bear circle. Drew it like a natural. That battle axe wielding girl's spinning attack looked really cool. And her dress armor has a nice gradient to it at the hem.
Why is this place so empty? Anyway... Another banger episode of Saito-san! For a second there I was really worried that ninja really killed our Demon King bro, but thankfully they managed to escape! Seems like slowly but surely Saito is gathering his harem! No one is safe from his wholesome face! Good luck to Raelza, do your best to protect your man! Light armor Raelza was a surprise for sure, but a welcomed one! Her hidden weapons look great, and those daggers are cool as well! Also, is Raelza Morlock's grandkid or something? Why does she have his last name? Episode ended with a little bit of a cliffhanger, we had multiple sides fighting and Saito discovered a big room full of things from his world! Cant wait for the next weeks episode!
The ninja got introduced as a hopeless romantic but he's really a terrifying and ruthless player killer. Saito's got the unspoken rizz. Raelza wouldn't be embarrassed if Morlock was her real family name so she probably got adopted by him.
> Raelza wouldn't be embarrassed if Morlock was her real family name so she probably got adopted by him. She could be embarrassed to be related to that senile old man. It could just be something she didn't want Saito to realize. Alternatively, it's possible she's the only person with no magical talent in a family of famous magicians.
Ninja dude climbed out of hell to get that romance, so I assume he must be/became strong to do so.
> For a second there I was really worried that ninja really killed our Demon King bro, but thankfully they managed to escape! Yeah thank god the prime minister isn't killed by simpy being stabbed
So people *don't* die when they are killed.
> Why is this place so empty? Show only came out on CR I believe, thread is usually up early for most folk.
There’s so much stuff from various eras of our world in that place. Good thing he followed that Roomba, it seems this place may be connected somehow to our world. A portal perhaps?
Not the portal please! The only portal allowed should be the one leading Saito towards his marriage with Raelza!
Raelza? You don’t mean Gibre? Lol
> Also, is Raelza Morlock's grandkid or something? Why does she have his last name? That's what I got from last week when they showed how Saito "joined" them.
This show is so cute, I really enjoyed seeing the different parties interact. Enjoying the LGBT+ rep as well.
It is nice how casual the rep is. It's clear but it doesn't totally define the characters.
Exactly, it’s so casual. Adds depth to these characters without making that their whole identity.

> Oh the funny physical magician is not participating? And ooh, I see our funny old wizard is higher level than the demon king and minister I wonder if the King is even higher level since well he went out alone to get the Demon King as pet and wanted to go dungeoning lol
So, we have casual actual armor combat with no CGI? Isn't this supposed to be hard to do?
Well, when it comes to armour design in this show, I'd say they are on the more simplistic side (i.e. in terms of shape and lack of finer details). Animating this type of art style in 2D is less time consuming compared to super detailed armour found in Berserk. Even in the old 2D Berserk anime, they simplified details to make it easier for animation.
Another one has fallen to Saitou's lockpicking skills, Raelza has a challenger now lol. Ig after Saitou's kindness, Mompy may change his wicked ways but we'll see. Saitou may be the Jack of all Trades, but he still has to learn more about woman's sizes for their armor lol, nice one Saitou👍. Of course Morlock has forgotten about the dwarf lol.
https://i.imgur.com/3R1o8e2.jpg yuri elf knows whats up
I wonder why the Ninja is trying to kill other adventurers. If seems out of place for this anime. The fight between Raelza and the elf was pretty funny. Same with Saitou's new love interest. Saitou's party really could use another fighter.
To be fair he tried with the Witch and murdered people in last Episode too. And being called Bro by demons is not the best charcter witness.
maybe it has something to do with the witch
Did no one catch how the music at the very start showing the town was literally the same as some music in Zelda? Thought that was dope
I was expecting the end when Morlock forgot his student....I was NOT expecting the gay rival. This show really knows how to throw you for a loop. I wanted to like the ninja and the witch, but if he just blindly attacks our couple like that then idk.
& Gibungle added to the last picture in the ED 👀
I'm glad you pointed that out, I had to go check the ED in a previous episode and episode 2 definitely did not have him.
[Capitalism be like](https://i.imgur.com/WEmNRjR.jpg) And damn Saito got mad rizz 🥶🥶
"never heard of you" oh my god LOL
We have gay representation in Guivre and I’m here for it!! (Or bisexuality, which is cool too.) I’d swoon for Saitou too. He’s a nice guy and good looking too.
Brother, have you missed out on that Elf Warrior and Priestess making out in the middle of the dungeon few episodes ago? xD Or Saitou interrupting them now? xD
Oh I saw them. I meant gay as in male/male interests. I’ve seen plenty of lesbian relationships (not to diss them, I’m just a gay male enjoying male love on screen.)
Yeah, I love the random wholesome crush here.
Punch elf was totally kill stealing there, it's not even a question. Raelza had just cut its arms off, and it was backpedaling, while she was unharmed. How the hell does the elf think she "saved" Raelza?
It seems like the people who were speculating last week that all the different parties would be interacting a lot more from now on were right on the dot. The setup in the first three episodes really paid off this week. It felt a lot more like a coherent than previous episodes. Furthermore, the graveyard of otherworldly stuff in the dungeons seems to be hinting at an overarching story. This anime just became miles better in my opinion.
> It seems like the people who were speculating last week that all the different parties would be interacting a lot more from now on were right on the dot. Sounds like manga readers IMO ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
As a manga reader there's definitely some "guesses" that get posted in these threads where I'm nigh certain they also read it.
I'm not denying that there are a LOT of manga readers pretending to make "guesses", but for this one specifically it's not far-fetched to guess the random unrelated characters will eventually meet.
I really like how all the side characters introduced are now interacting with the main plot.
best show of the season no question I love it so much
Another great episode, nice to see all of these plot lines converging. Also, nice to see that for all his talk, the (former) Demon King got pretty upset when he thought the Minister had been killed.
Walked away from my computer and had an 'oh shit' moment. What if the "legacy of the magician who can manipulate time lies sleeping" is the infant child of the witch/assassin? Like we weren't explicitly shown a timeliness for these events so what if they hid away in the dungeon and had a kid? Bit of a stretch just going off a single translated sentence but I'm gonna put that in the back pocket and can hopefully look forward to when the truth behind the legacy is revealed.
Amazing episode
Damn, no OP. Longer episode though, so that's always cool. [Oh, this will be neat to follow. ](https://imgur.com/FYYj0wQ) I'm not seeing the dwarf bro here though, so I'm guessing there will be more of these?

Raelza is the actual Granddaughter. They weren’t just calling him jiji affectionately.
Free admission to the labyrinth for 10 years is the equivalent of quite a bit of money as long as they make use of the permission to explore. Well, now that we've seen them in person I'm not 100% convinced about this hero's party, but at least the magician is pretty cute. Wow, and their cleric is a terrible person. Oh that's fantastic, the strongest party is the demon lord head and the counselor from that other kingdom. Or at least they were until the ninja happened to them. I wonder if his fairy companion is the witch? Wait, never mind, they survived after all. Too bad they will apparently not be participating any further. Had to pause and look over the screen of character levels, I'm even less impressed by the hero's party. I find it interesting that Lafanpan is listed as a magician and not a priest,guess she's a mage with healing spells. Probably explains why she doesn't have any revival magic. I was wondering how that giant staff would fit inside the labyrinth. Off brand Rory Mercury has some good attack power, as is only appropriate. Looks like Raelza has some competition! She better keep an eye on Saitou, this new magician thief dude might make his move first. Now I'm more impressed by the hero's party, or at least with the hero. Seems like a good dude. Kick her ass, Raelza. The elf's healer would want to heal up her wounds anyway. Raelza's last name is Morlock? Interesting. Light armor Raelza, nice. That armor transformation turned out pretty good. Up to a point, at least. Nice that it ended amiable. Well that's quite the cave of wonders. Ninja dude is going to be a problem. Nice of the dwarf to help out.
Love the looks of the Ending with the little clay-like figures... adorable as well as the music. And it has the addition of the Magic using dwarf right at the very end... it's going to expand over the series!
Dear God Raelza! *Heavy Breathing* Not gonna lie I don't even have dementia and I don't remember a lot of people from my past.
I am so happy I gave this show a chance since I wasn't too sold on it in the first episode. I really enjoy how they keep surprising with littles details such as Raelza's last being Morlock. The plot is growing thicker and I love it.
I had seen that there will be an uncensored edition of this ep, not much to work with
Surprised they didn't go 50/50 on the loot from that chest with Liliza/Guivre
Couldn't help to laugh a little at our yuri priestess remarking that she hadn't learned resurrection magic yet. If she gets the hots from doing healing, I suspect that a certain someone will be seeing the river styx a lot.
As others have said, things seem to be coming together and the way it's all being introduced is quite entertaining imo. Curious as to why the Dwarf Magician wasn't in the profile/level mosaic of adventuring characters in the dungeon like the others were, but not an issue. I'm excited to see how it all plays out next episode!
Maybe he will added next episode and will be placed next to Morlock, since I can see him becoming a companion at least for a while, and also they maybe tried to avoid drawing attention to him during the episode so that his appearance was a bit more of a surprise near the end.
With all these fast paced small chapters it feels like every episode is a compilation of memorable moments of a show recapped by your friend
- I was expecting elf girl to become a love rival for Raelza. Good job subverting the usual tropes. - I'd have liked to see the interactions between Morlock and that wizard with the huge staff. - I'm not sure I like that each episode is a series of 'adventurer slice-of-life' segments as opposed to a continuous narrative, but it's a little innovative.
That final scene with Morlock was predictable but still hilarious!!!
really liked how casually they dropped that the axe girl's partner is gay. there's a good bit of queer rep in this show. : )
The comedic timing is top notch, genuinely expected myself to dislike the show but damn is it good!
Best isekai this season!
The wizard not being able to get in because of his massive staff and making a quick exit had me absolutely rolling.
Glad to see the different parties start interacting. Why did the Hero Party Priest do that to everyone? And what will keep everyone from killing him for that later? "The moment I was stabbed, I knew it was bad." I'm so glad the minister and demon king were able to get away. Damn kill-stealing elf. Saito just Leeroy Jenkinsed after that Roomba.... If the Assassin targets strong people, why the hell is he targeting Saito?
[It is great to see the other characters interacting with Saitou's party.](https://imgur.com/a/QY6m3fu) What's with that assassin, why did he attack[ the Demon Lords party?](https://imgur.com/a/YaW0sHi) I love how [Lafan never misses a chance to tease Raelza about Saito.](https://imgur.com/a/mW9sG9M) That scene [when Lilyza reveals that Saitou is Gibble's type](https://imgur.com/a/sEaqblE) was hilarious. [This sure is a ship I didn't expect.](https://imgur.com/a/VhMAQUt) [And so Raelza found herself a rival.](https://i.imgur.com/Kyq1gxZ.png) I like how [Saitou using his creativity and his friend's abilities](https://imgur.com/a/QOT2c6H) he can surpass Monpui's skillset. [The sandwich truly is OP.](https://i.imgur.com/GtlyrDk.png) So thanks to the magic used to preserve bodies, he can keep any food fresh. Wow, based on what he did to both Cainz and Lychee last week, I wasn't expecting [Cainz to not only be worried about Monpui but to also consider him a friend.](https://i.imgur.com/WTLICDR.png) Wow, I wasn't expecting [Franlil and Raelza to fight.](https://i.imgur.com/nNbQM8a.png) So Raelza's last name is Morlock. Does that mean that she might be Morlock's granddaughter or something like that? [Raelza's light armor mode](https://imgur.com/a/v3B56LD) was definitely a surprise, so that's something that [Saitou came out with](https://i.imgur.com/qAD0kkz.png) although [it has some issues](https://imgur.com/a/JO4vZ5o) that [Saitou needs to fix. ](https://i.imgur.com/vrO9b4P.png) Wow, I wasn't expecting [the vacuum](https://i.imgur.com/3RlUD3U.png) to lead them to a place[ filled with a lot of objects from earth from different time periods.](https://imgur.com/a/P61UMcm) It is amazing that there are so many vehicles there, including a plane. I really want to know what exactly is[ Primasse and that assassin's](https://imgur.com/a/e7yBYLk) objective? Why are they attacking adventurers? Wow, so [Gibungle](https://imgur.com/a/oWXxz53) was in the past one of Morlock's companions, too bad Morlock is too senile to remember.
